Lots of 1sts

Drake has been a busy, busy boy lately! He is reaching milestones right and left! Here are some of the fun "1st's" he's been conquering:
One of Drake's 1st playdates:
Our great friends, Brian & Katie Hess just moved back to Logan and it was so fun to get together with them a few weeks ago! Ty is just 5 months older than Drake and they had a great time together! I can't believe how much bigger Ty is then Drake- it's amazing how much they grow in just 5 short months. Ty ran circles around Drake and Drake watched him intently. Ty liked to take Drake's binki out of his mouth and put it back in. We ended up getting Ty a binki to play with because he did NOT like when we tried to take it away from him.
Two major studs:
This is Ty watching Sasha. He loved watching her run around and play catch. He would laugh so hard and it was adorable!
Then he gave her a nice head-butt! haha! Katie said he does it to everything lately. It is hilarious!
Drake got his 1st haircut while the Hess' were over.
(Thanks so much Katie! You're awesome!)
Drake did great! We had to hold his head in a lock-hold while trimming around his ears which he hated, but most of the time he was intrigued with what was happening and didn't care that we were cutting off the tiny hairs he'd worked 9 months for (Tear...)
BEFORE:

AFTER: (looks much better!)
1st bath-time with a friend.

Drake & Ty had so much fun splashing around together! Thanks for such a fun play-date Ty!1st experience with a sippy cup 1st time riding in a shopping cart (I need a shopping cart cover, the thoughts of all the germs- yuck!)

1st Diet Coke?(I wish! My dad sneaks way too many sips of his all-time favorite drink to Drake)

Drake is suddenly doing SO much SO fast! I can barely keep up with all his little milestones.
  • He cut his 1st tooth on 9/30 (bottom left incisor) and the very next day cut his 2nd tooth (bottom right incisor).
  • He is now easily pulling himself up to standing and he tries to pull himself up onto anything and everything.
  • He is now feeding himself Gerber puffs with his hands.
  • He got his 1st bruise/bump on his head when he hit his head on a coffee table at Sandalls ranch.
  • And he's army crawling like a champ!


We sure love him and are having so much fun with him!

I LOVE that picture of your dad with Drake. I love your dad so much and have such great memories of combing his hair and playing with him in Park Valley. can't believe he is a grandpa!

Oh, I almost forgot...I love his new haircut!! He is growing and changing so much. I love when they get to be a little independent, like feeding themselves. It is so awesome!! You are such a great mom for recording all this stuff. Love you so much, Lindsay!
