When Papa is here, Drew is never far away. He was very happy to help.

Can't decide if he should be a handyman or golfer...better hold on to both.

Aidan spilled some water and Drew was quick to clean up after her.

We took Drew to his 1st Iowa Cubs game. We sat at the picnic tables for the 1st 3 innings and then Drew got a little bored so we made our way to the right field fountain...he LOVED it!

Such a Daddy's boy!

No need for toys at our house!

Drew spent 15 minutes flipping through this Victoria Secret catalog

pointing at each belly button saying "butt."

Thompson Cousins

Drew is definitely keeping us busy these days. I will be 24 weeks along on Sunday and feeling really good. Drew loves to play outside and will say it over and over till we let him go or will try to sneak out while we are grilling and have the slider unlocked. (WE WILL HAVE THE YARD FENCED IN SOON...FOR MY OWN SANITY.) As all little boys do, Drew is in love with Thomas the train, tractors, buses and cars. Anything with four wheels is one of the above. It makes car rides so much fun to hear him chattering in the back seat. He seems so amazed each time another vehicle drives by, "Mommy look at that its a carz." He also loves to read...we know who he doesn't get that from! He takes a book to bed with him every night as you will see in a picture below. We are enjoying every minute with Drew, he is getting very independent and his own personality is really starting to show. I will try to take a picture of the belly and post ultrasound pictures to show the progress of baby #2 very soon.

Grandma and Grandpa Thompson took care of all 3 of the youngest Thompson grandkids last weekend. I'm sure they were pretty exhausted after running after these two.

Ella is such a good cousin!
She did tell me through that Drew is crazy!

Even though Drew can be very wild and crazy he loves to sit behind Mark's chair and play with his books or cars. This first time I found him here I was frantic because he was so quiet and I couldn't find him.

Drew's new best friend, Uncle Chris.

I got Drew a ball at the store the other day and he wouldn't let it go, even in his carseat.

Drew loves his sunglasses, but he is very serious when he wears them.

Drew and Uncle Chris, pretend sleeping.

The following two pictures are the way we find Drew when we go to check on him at night. He loves to take books to bed and we can hear him in his bed after we shut the door reading to himself, but sometimes he just must get too tired and drop the book.

He was even snoring this night!

Grandma Gall found him this time. I love the arms behind the head.

We did not put him in this outfit, he insisted on me taking off his

footie pajamas and put on the socks.
Once Drew puts on his sunglasses he will not take them off.

Drew took his booster seat over to Mark's recliner and had him strap him in

so he could read his books in the chair.

Drew had an Easter egg hunt with Grace and Aidan. He had a lot of fun, but kept stealing the eggs from the girls.

The Easter Bunny brought Drew some outdoor toys and sunglasses. The sunglasses were a big hit! We had to take the golf clubs and t-ball set outside because he was tormenting the cat.

DYING EASTER EGGS

Drew just couldn't wait to eat one of the eggs!

Just helping Daddy with my own hammer.

Drew loves to sit on the potty before bath time. He also insists on wiping,

but when he does he lifts his leg as high as possible.

This was Mark's outfit when he was a little kid.

This is Drew's "silly face."

I'm in trouble...already drinking out of the milk carton.

Drew and Grace at Grace's 1st Birthday party.

BUSTED!

Drew is very resourceful. He wanted the drill so he pushed a toy from the

living room to the kitchen to get it.

Once again, he wanted something so he empytied out the bottom drawer to stand in the top drawer, just trying to help get ready for dinner.
