I don't know why I have never thought of taking a picture of this, but if you look closely, you can see the "spot" on the top of Drew's head that is his "birth defect" His hair is starting to cover it up pretty good.

He only kept his cute 1st Christmas hat for about 30 seconds!!

Here are some Christmas Eve and Christmas Day pictures from my mom's camera...

Happy New Year!!

We had a great time at Justin and Kerry's house for a New Year's Eve party. Happy 2007!!

Some more pictures from New Year's...

The boys had a great time lighting fireworks and we stayed entertained watching them...

Shelby found a friend on the back porch! The grasshopper was not as excited to play with Shelby and quickly hopped away!

RJ got to relax and hang out with Drew on his birthday. My dad arranged for him to have some oysters to eat. He and Justin ate almost a bushell in about 2 hours! I had pizza.

RJ with his new laptop and Drew finally getting to wear some of his winter clothes...

Here are a couple pictures from Christmas. I need to get the pictures from my mom's camera also. He looked so cute Christmas Eve in his little suit. We spent Christmas Eve at my parent's house with all the family over for dinner and our "thieves" Christmas gift exchange. Christmas Day I had to cook. It actually turned out pretty yummy! Of course my mom already had the turkey stuffed and ready in the roaster and all I had to do was stick it in the oven. I was supposed to open it up and let it brown, which I forgot to do, but after it is all cut up no one knows what color it is! We had 12 people for Christmas dinner and everything worked out perfectly!!

Drew got lots of good stuff from Santa, although Santa forgot to take everything out of the box and have them set up, and forgot batteries. It was a good trial run for next year when he will actually be into the whole Santa thing. RJ got a new laptop, which I am using now. It has wireless internet so we had to breakdown and get roadrunner - I was boycotting paying so much for internet service, but it sure does make a difference (the highspeed vs. dial-up)

OK - OK we've been slacking on the posts - actually we've been really really busy!! On top of the whole Christmas thing was RJ's birthday and Drew has had an ear infection in BOTH ears! Poor little guy. He spent his first Christmas completely doped up between the tylenol, motrin, zyrtec and amoxicillan, we've spent a lot of money at the pharmacy lately. He seems to finally be feeling better, it only took two trips to the doctor to get him diagnosed with something. He had all the signs of an ear infection, however because he is such a good boy he wasn't acting miserable like babies with ear infections normally do. But between Christi (the babysitter) and me we knew something just wasn't right with him. Here he is in his new monkey hat and gloves, on his way to grammy's house Thursday morning (the babysitter has the week off)

Grammy got to pick up Drew everyday from the babysitter's house everday this week because RJ was in Canada. Drew has so much fun in this thing - he runs full throttle around in a circle!!

During the Christmas party, the Shuttle launch actually went up so we got to go outside on the beach and watch it from Cocoa Beach...

We had a ton of fun at my Christmas party. There wasn't as many people there this year, but we make our own fun and had a blast anyways!! I won $50!!

Before my Christmas party Saturday (Dec. 9 - I'm a little behind since I'm a single mom this week while RJ was in Canada with his mom) RJ and Drew put up the security locks on the cabinets, well actually RJ did all the work and Drew made a mess out of my tupperware cabinet - but oh well- it kept him busy for over an hour!!

Bailey and Shelby are getting into the holiday spirit!!

Drew turned 8 months old December 3!!

However we weren't in a real celebration mood. We think he has teeth coming in - the top ones and two of them at the same time! We didn't get any sleep last weekend, and RJ had gone camping with my dad so I was all alone all weekend and by Sunday I was exhausted! We had planned on taking him to the docotr Tuesday and Monday night he just snapped out of it and slept through the night!

We got some Christmas decorations put up and then it rained.

UPDATE: We finally got the tree up last night, however the outside decorations have blown down because we have been having hurricane winds lately. Hopefully today we can get them back up and the house lights up!!

Drew has mastered standing up on his own now.

Drew got his first shiner! He got into a fight with a toy at the babysitter's house.
