What's Drew up to?

What can I say about my little man?
He is growing up way.to.fast.
He is all toddler and is keeping us on our toes this summer.
I cannot decide if his nickname should be Rover or Bruiser? I think Rover would be good because that best describes how he just wonders around with his cowboy swagger where ever he goes... but then Bruiser is also fitting because Drew can get bruised, scraped, or scratched in a matter of minutes where ever he is... in a cozy bed full of pillows or outside in a briar patch... does.not.matter. He will get hurt.
The lessons of boyhood are coming out in full force.

One big change that happened this past week.
We gave up these lovely items.

After about three months of pushing a sippy cup, Drew finally made up his mind about the bottle. It figures, since I just bought new ones two weeks ago. So no more bottles to wash at night which makes me really sad. Looking around the house the baby gear just keeps getting pushed into the attic. Again my baby boy is growing up too fast.
