milestones

well, something new and exciting happened at our house over the weekend.  and no, it wasn't james coloring in drew's baby book.  nor was it the hunt for a new winter hat amongst the spring lines in all the stores, since james decided to throw his out while shopping in target.

we have a new walker! 

yep, drewbear took his first steps this weekend, and aaron and i both witnessed it!  three steps, to be exact.  we have been practicing walking with holding only one hand, and we knew it was only a matter of time.  even james was jumping up and down excited, so you know it was a big deal to everyone in the house!

another milestone surpassed.  and in less than a month, we will be reaching another.  an {unofficial} first birthday. 

{be still, my heart.}

birthday presents already purchased.  cake pops already practiced.  invites already made.  this mama feels like she is ready for this party, but only in a planning sense.  not in the mental state, as i am in heavy denial. 

like heavy, heavy, heavy denial. 

so i am going to bask in the next 24 days that i have left to call drew a baby.  yes, i know he will always be my baby, but he is on the cusp of toddlerhood status now.  i should've been a bit more prepared with this, as he's looked like a toddler since, you know, 6 months.  but, i digress.

february is bright, and full of milestones!  the best is yet to come, right?  and for your viewing pleasure, the vigness boys:

james requested to take a "pic-ture wish dwoo".  so sweet!
