Drew Is 2!!!

It has happened again in the Sanders' house. A little boy is having a birthday and now we are in the land of the terrible two's. I am sure little Drew will not but that much of a terror this year. After all just look at the sweetness that has been...

Drew @ one day old. He was a hefty little one weighing in at 8 lbs. 8ozs. This picture was taken the morning he came back from the nursery. Mommy and Daddy had a great night of sleep since he slept in the nursery for 5 hours.... he would not do that again until he was 6 months old. So sweet and perfect. He still likes to sleep with his hand next to his mouth like that... or with his hands behind his head.

He is the best little boy. Rough and tough one minute. Sweet and cuddly the next.

One of my favorite pictures of Drew and me. Taken by a friend who knows just HOW much I love pictures. I was showing her Drew's room one day when she came to visit. This picture is me..in my little boy's room... in the newborn haze... just loving my boy. Every night, when I rock Drew before bed, we still rub noses... I wonder how long that will last????

Drew is still a messy eater just like he was @ 6 months.
He has traded rice cereal for sandwiches (he especially loves daddy's), grapes, granola bars, and bananas, and pizza.

Just like a year ago when he turned 1, he loves to be "owside".
We have to plan how to get him inside.
Our plan usually involves bringing in his Mickey four- wheeler or big wheel truck.

And now the little boy is starting to look more and more grown up.
Trading the baby chubs for lean muscles. It is just hard to believe
He.is.two.
