I cannot believe Drake is already one year old! It really feels like it was just yesterday that he looked like this....
Now he looks like this.....
Drake is such a joy! We love him so much and are so grateful he is a part of our family. I sure hope we have done a good job at being parents his first year of life, cause I will be honest, at times we had no idea what we were doing! We have had fun with him and have enjoyed watching him grow and learn new things. It is amazing to me how much he has learned in just a year. He picks up on things so fast.-He is walking
-He has 7 teeth and is starting to get his pre-molars
-He says... hi, owie, ok, uh-oh, grandpa, mama, dada, Laur Laur, Lucy, Holly and some.
-He knows how old he is
-He shakes his head Yes and No
-He can climb out of his highchair
-When we say "Where's Drake?" he puts his hands over his eyes
-He knows where his nose is
-He sleeps through the night and sleeps in
-He is taking good naps
-He has an attitude!!!!
-He hates getting is face wiped off
-He loves his binky
-He is a great eater and eats anything I put in front of him
-The only way I can get him to wear a hat is if I clap after I put it on
-He is so awful while I am changing his diaper
-He loves his daddy
-He points at what he wants
-He slaps at my face (which I HATE and I don't know what to do to get him to stop)
-He likes his belly to be tickled
-He loves my mom's dog Lucy and barks like her
-He loves bath time
-He gives loves by putting his head on your shoulder
-He is stinkin cute and we love him!!!
Drake's First Birthday Party
Arrgghhh!! We had a great time at Drake's Birthday party. I thought it would be so fun to do it Pirate Themed, and it was. We sent out invitations, and when everyone received them they gave me a hard time for doing the party at the church. There were too many people to do it at our little house. It ended up working out great! I can't believe all of the friends and family that came to celebrate with us. There are a lot of people who love and care about Drake. He is a lucky little boy.
I made him a tie to wear for his party!
The little cake was for Drake and the other cake I made for everyone else. Isn't that pirate so cute??
We had lots of yummy food!
and enjoyed the company of family and friends :)
The life of the party was there..... Dan
Seriously people.... the kid turned 1!!
Boston
The Wood Clan
One of Drake's favorite people, Jordan!! He loves her!
Lauren and Elli
After dinner we sang Happy Birthday to Drake and had cake and ice cream. Drake had his own cake to eat. He wasn't so sure he loved everyone staring at him, so I had to show him how good it was....
.....and it took no time at all and he was a mess!
He is a pro now at getting baths in sinks!!
After cake and ice cream, we opened presents.
Grandpa and Grandma Wood got Drake this Radio Flyer. It was the hit at the party. He loves this thing and walks all over the place with it. His legs are a little to short to ride it, but once they grow a bit, he will love it even more.
Aunt Andi gave him a Teddy Bear.
I made him this Owl for his birthday, and he better love it!! :)
