Drew is TWO!!!

How can it be that our sweet, cuddly, littlest baby is already TWO??!! Drew at two: He loves to play!! He loves to play with us. He loves to tackle. He likes to repeat what we say in the same intonation of voice and he knows it's funny! He loves and is slightly obsessed with all things "choo-choo". Thomas and friends are his favorites but he also loves trains that are magnetic and will stick together front to back. He is by far our pickiest eater, which is saying a lot, because of Elle. He still loves smoothies and pouches...Thank goodness, because it's the only way we get veggies in him. He loves waffles, pancakes, and toast for breakfast and loves yogurt, french fries, chicken nuggets, and pizza. Drew is a cookie monster and above all sweets, cookies are his fav. Great.Thank goodness for Larabars, because to him those are just as yummy as candy bars. Also, a weird fact, he only likes to drink water. I'm not complaining, but that's what he prefers. He loves to cuddle ALL of the time and before bed loves to cuddle up with Luke in his bed. Bunk beds are in the near future for our boys! His front tooth is chipped because last summer he was helping Luke water our neighbor's gardens and fell on their brick patio. He is a mama's boy and my lap is his throne. He has at least one breathing treatment everyday :( but he is a trooper and that's where his love for Thomas the Train started from watching it on Netflix during his treatments. He is everyone's favorite all of the time and none of us ever have any beef with him. Although he has had a few timeouts he knows right where to go and sits there his whole 2 minutes worth, He will do anything to make us laugh. He is so silly! Drew is our sweetie and all of us love and adore him!!! 
We celebrated his birthday with just us and it ended up being pretty great. Luke wanted to design this poster for him to decorate his party. He came up with the idea all  by himself. (It's from a beginning clip on the Thomas shows). I just picked him up a poster and he was off designing it, using stencils for the first time too! Elle jumped in to paint the background.

Drew's Thomas the Train Birthday Party!! Happy 2nd birthday, Drew!

Can they be any sweeter? I mean, really?!
Our big guy!

We are singing happy birthday to him and you can see his little shy/sweetie look in the above and below picture. This is one of my favorite emotions he expresses.
Drew's birthday present from his brother and sister. They picked out a Thomas book that included a train map and little Thomas trains.
His favorite toy still to date. They know their little brother pretty well!

Our little baby even at 2 or 11, or 45!
A small, family birthday party is where it's at!

And then Vaida brought over old doll house for Elle! We thought, "Sure, we'll take a dollhouse for Elle." We never thought it would be like a DOLLHOUSE! Holy smokes, look at this sucker. I think Drew could live in it!

Mayer and Vaida come over one last time before moving. :(
Elle and Drew (behind the yellow shaker) at "church school" playing with the sensory table.
We are all getting ready for Disney and Luke made this awesome castle!!
We love you so much Drew. 
Your sister always holds your hand in the car. Always.
And your favorite place to fall asleep is snuggled in your brother's arms in his bed.
You are loved, sweet boy.
