"On Memorial Day I had my first swim. It was fun! Unfortunately, I think I'm tough and I hit my face attempting to crawl out of the pool. I cried briefly but I was fine. My mom and dad always say I need to be more careful because someday I won't have my helmet to protect me!"

"Here's a picture of me and my girlfriend. I think I scare her a little!"

Here's some recent pics of my mischievous little boy!

Here's a before picture. I think the helmet is cute, but his daddy is having a hard time with it. Drake doesn't really seem to care at all!

Drake's 1st Easter

Just thought I'd put everything in pink in honor of the cause. We all had so much fun. I think we all got up at 4:30 to be sure and get down downtown before they started closing the streets. We got down to the Alamodome about 6:50 and they had already started closing some of the streets. We really had a good time! I think we all agreed we'd start making it our annual tradition. Me, Richard and Drake, along with my mom, Desiree, Jacob, Logan, Susan (my mom's best friend), and Paula (my mom's good friend) and one of Paula's friends all participated. It was really fun! All the boys were even prettier than usual in pink.

p.s. There really isn't anything wrong with Jacob....he's just a turd!

Today was Drake's 6 month well visit. We had to schedule it a little early because his pediatrician will be going out on maternity leave soon. Everything looks good. He is 15 lbs. 10 oz. and is 25 1/4 inches in length. Once again, he appears to be a pretty "precocious" little guy. We were referred to a neurosurgeon because the back of his head is crooked. It's been that way since birth. I blame it on our first bout with preterm labor. I think at that point he had dropped and positioned himself oddly. Anyways, we are going on April 2nd to do a head x-rays and such to determine if he needs to wear a corrective helmet. It's only for cosmetics, nothing major. Just don't want him to blame mom and dad for his misshapen head when he gets older! It was recommended that we introduce him to the sippy cup so here he is enjoying playing with it.

P.S. Since my last post he has also gotten his two bottom teeth. He is getting big so fast. :(

Drake's riding "Sugarfoot." It was his daddy's horse when he was a little boy. Don't know where he got the name from.

Drake was helping me fold laundry on Sunday. Isn't he helpful?

Here's Drake's pouty face. It's really hard to feel too sorry for him when he makes this face, no sound comes out and then smiles a second later.

Here is our measuring chart for Drake. According to it, he's about 24 1/4 inches in length.

Here is Drake enjoying his rice cereal. He did pretty good considering it was his first time eating from a spoon. Today at the doctor he weighed 13 lbs. 10 oz. and was approximately 24 inches long; both are in the 25th percentile. His pediatrician says everything looks good and said he is a "precocious" little guy.
