Happy 1st Birthday to the Drew man!!

I cannot believe he is really one! This year has gone by so fast and I know people always say that - but it really has gone by so fast, it seems like just last week he was sleeping in the bassinet beside our bed.


One major thing that we will always remember is that Drew started swim lessons on his first birthday. He did ok - he drank a lot of the water the first day. He was so excited to be able to get into the pool - until she dunked his little head under the water. I almost had to walk out half way through the 10 minutes that he was in the pool because I thought I was going to cry. I've NEVER seen him look so terrified, it broke my heart. But I have to keep telling myself that it will all be worth it in the end. Here is one skill she teaches him, to come up from the water and hold onto the edge. As you can see, he had no problem holding on to the edge.
