We took Drew's 6 month-old pictures a few weeks ago. Again we just did them at our house with a white sheet and a few props. Rob does a great job catching the smiles. I can't believe how much older he looks now that he can sit up on his own. These were the three best that we got and will probably end up on our wall.

So I know it has been a long time since I've blogged. But I had to get this on there. Drew has turned 6 months. I can't believe it. We have started rice cereal this week with him. It took him a few days to get into it and a lot of encouraging and applauding from us. But hopefully he becomes our good little eater here on out. This was his first try at rice cereal. We got a lot on his face, a lot on his bib, but did manage to get some into his mouth.

Drew got to meet his younger cousin, Brennan, for the first time last week. While they were together, we decided to have a "photo shoot." After several takes and a lot of noise, we finally got both of them to look up.

Drew and I had a very good trip to Utah to visit family. Drew go a lot of attention from his aunts, uncle and cousins, especially when he was all full of smiles and giggles. Here is a video of Aunt Ashley making him laugh.

Drew's big Christmas gift this year was a Jumparoo we got from our neighbor. I didn't think he would really be able to use if for a month or so but as you can see he loves it! Here is a video showing off his new toy.

Friday we took pictures of Drew. He is already 3 1/2 months old. I can't believe how big he is getting, even from just a few weeks ago. Recently he has discovered his ring toys. He gets so excited when he sees them and he tries to put them in his mouth. Sometimes he is really good at it.

So I'm finally posting our Thanksgiving pictures. We had quite a bit of family, who came from all over. We sure had fun and plenty to do.

We played hours on the Wii






























We then competed in real bowling instead of virtual.








What a split!








Just guiding the ball along.

We had our strike club. You had to bowl a strike to be initiated. Good thing everyone was.

Of course the rest of the entertainment was watching and playing with Drew.
