The Holidays

Once again, it's been far too long since my last post. We're finally all settled into our new "house". It's far from a house, but it's a temporary exile. We had to list the old house with a realtor this week since it wasn't getting any traffic through it. Breaking even now should be a real challenge. Anyway, things haven't been all bad. We had a rough week or so where I was the only one in the house that wasn't on antibiotics. I hope that doesn't mean I'm the problem. Luckily everyone was mostly healed for the holidays. Drew is growing like crazy. Maybe it's because we let him be responsible for metering his own consumption...

He started eating cereal last week too.

He has taken to it much quicker than Nate did. What a moose. The holidays were good as usual. Aunt Shauna and Uncle Tom were home plus there was lots of unhealthy food. What more could you ask for. This was Nate's second Christmas, but he was able to appreciate this one a lot more than he did last year. He got a butt load of cool stuff at Nana's Christmas morning...

He seemed quite pleased. And now, some random Drew pics...

Sunday was Nate and Nana's birthday, so we had a joint birthday party for them over at Great-Grandma Dudley's. Nate had a wonderful time again, of course. He got to practice his billiards...

He got another butt load of cool stuff...

And of course he got to break all the rules, smashing cake while sitting on the countertops.

Drew had a good time too because he got to shuck his pants and show off his bratwurst legs...

Speaking of bratwurst legs, his mom got a couple good bath time pics of him the other day. It's a good thing legendary old west law-man Wyatt Earp was available to make them decent.

You can tell from the pics that he's getting quite strong. He's rolling himself over pretty regularly these days. He's scooting a little now and I'm sure he'll be crawling in no time.
