Playing Baseball!

Christmas Day

I never knew how much fun Christmas could be. Drake truly is the coolest and best thing that could ever happen to us-we really do realize every single day what a blessing we have. He had a long day with three stops, but got some really nice things and he enjoyed all of the attention!

Christmas Eve

Drake LOVES his new 'Little Superstar' toy from cousin Alex. He actually sat up without even falling over for about 20 minutes playing with it. We spent Christmas Eve with Grandma Harashe where he got some cool books!

Drake wants some too! 'Goodnight Moon' book-impressive!!

There's something perplexing about this tree ;)

Christmas tree & new videos

Drake is loving the Christmas tree with all the lights. We're excited for his first Christmas.

We've found our feet!!

Drake is up to 14.5 lbs. and is still 'average' length...let's hope it stays that way. He's discovered his feet-they're yummy! He'll sit up unassisted now for almost a minute or so.

Cousin Alex loves Drake

These pictures were taken over the last two months, but I'm just now sharing. I love the one of Alex 'honking' Drake's nose. Alex likes to tell Drake 'don't cry' and pat his head if he's crying and wake him up if he's sleeping to play with him. Although Alex did chuck a book at Drake's head awhile back, I think he'll forgive him....but we're building his muscles to get him back ;)

Video of Drake laughing

Drake is full of noises these days and puts everything in his mouth. He sings with Mommy and gets a big smile now when Daddy comes home each night. Watching Baxter play and run around the house entertains him well.
