Drake is taking after his sister and is very busy! He officially started walking the day after his birthday - because no one around here could do anything by the book! He is getting better and better and faster and faster. His attempts to keep up with his sister are getting very good - something she is not to happy about.
He weighed in at 24.8 lbs and is 31.5 inches long. The kid eats like a champ - somedays I can't comprehend how a tiny person could eat so much! He loves anything and everything when it comes to food and most recently discovered he loves pulled pork and smoked turkey over Easter weekend.
His favorite toy is anything that rolls. He got a Hawkeye Basketball for his Birthday and rarely lets it out of his sight. He enjoys pushing it with his (left) hand and then chasing it all over the kitchen. He also loves to be outside - especially when is is swinging or watching Kinnick run all over the backyard.
He continues to be a very happy and loving little boy. Every morning (and nap) when I get him out of his crib he buries his little head in my shoulder and gives me a "hug". Yes, it melts my heart every single time.
There is no doubt that this little kid has me wrapped around his finger - very rarely does he let me out of his sight. I often refer to him as my "25 lb tumor" as generally he is either tugging on my pants, being held or wanting snuggles....all of which I'm happy to oblige.
I couldn't imagine my life without this little guy in it - he truly brings joy to my world. I look back over his first year with such emotion - I sometimes can't believe that god blessed us with two little miracles. I guess over the years, we must've done something right. :)
Happy Birthday Drakey!!
