Height 37" (2.22%)
Weight 28 lb 8oz (1.57%)
BMI 14.64

Drew is healthy.

Interests: Drew LOVES school - he'd go every day if he had it his way. He is very outgoing - he can make friends within 5 minutes of playing at the park. His best friends are Jack, Jonah, Meg, Ellie, and, of course, Chase. He enjoys playing outside, walks/ bike rides to the park, the playground at Chase's school, cello lessons, drawing class, swim lessons, playing legos with his brother and sister, and trips to Michigan.

Eating Habits: Drew used to eat anything, but now he is very selective. The only vegetable he will eat is broccoli. Drew will not eat any fruits (he says he'll start eating strawberries when he's 5). Drew loves steak, chicken teriyaki, pasta, ramen, and most sweets - especially chocolate.

Diaper Boy

2011-07-25T21:47:00.001-07:00

A few weeks ago, Drew told me that he plans to wear diapers "forever." This week, he said that he will stop wearing them when he turns four (we'll work on the potty training part later). On Saturday, one of our few days of summer, Drew, Chase and Cole ran through the wading pool at Cal Anderson Park wearing their clothes. Drew fell, and his clothers were drenched, so he proudly rode his bike home in his diaper.

Summer Activities | Swim Lessons

2011-07-22T18:31:00.001-07:00

Drew recently finished outdoor swim lessons at Mounger Pool in Magnolia. And last week he started swim lessons at Seattle Children's Hospital. He's also enrolled in soccer through Lil' Kickers (pics soon).

Top Pot Doughnuts is Drew's favorite place to hang out when Chase is at preschool. It's hard to say no when I hear this sweet little voice from the back of the car say, "mommy, I want to go get a white donut at Top Pot." Here he is on two separate donut cravings.

Drew has an extra tooth, which occurs in about 1-3 percent of the population. With his extra tooth, his strong bite, and his fascination with sharks we're convinced that there is some kind of relationship between Drew and sharks. On another note, his pediatric dental appointment was a success. He let them polish, floss, examine, and apply fluoride to his teeth.

2010-12-13T16:26:00.000-08:00

Drew had his wellness visit with Dr. Zorn. He his healthy and strong. And, when we got home from his appointment, I found him in the bathroom attempting to use the potty on his own (he told me to "shut the door"). Chris and I are lucky that our kids choose to potty train themselves.

"I'm the Driver"

2010-04-05T00:00:00.000-07:00

Drew says, "I'm the driver" several times throughout the day.

Drew: "I'm the driver, you're in the car seat."
Me: "Where are we going?"
Drew: "The museum."

Here is "the driver" at the Museum of Flight.

"I wanna go to Whole Foods. Maybe tomorrow."
"Go away, Rocco. I'm eating."

2 Year Visit

2009-12-04T01:17:00.000-08:00

We met with Dr. Zorn for Drew's 2 year visit. According to his stats, he's small, which is bizarre considering how much the little man can eat. Some of his favorite foods are: mushrooms, ham, pasta, pizza, sausage, bacon, macaroni and cheese, and tofu. Drew is an excellent climber, and he likes to ride bikes and go to open gym at Seattle Gymnastics Academy. He can name about eight colors, and he can name all of the letters in the alphabet.

2009-12-04T00:30:00.001-08:00

Drew is a great little traveler. Once he discovered that the Maui Coast Hotel had a hot tub, nothing else mattered. When I gave him the option of either swimming with Chase in the kiddie pool or with me in the big pool, he thought about it and said, "hot tub." (My friend has pics of him in the hot tub and I will add them when I get them).

Swim lessons are a nice challenge for Drew. He is pretty particular about what he will and will not do.

Will:
jump into the water
dip his ears into the water

Will Not:
practice his back float
practice his "big arms"
practice his kicks
go to the instructor

"Hh"

2009-09-02T15:17:00.000-07:00

Drew is obsessed with the letter "h." He says "h" about 25 times a day, and every time he sees a helicopter flying in the sky, he points to it and says "h" (starfall reference). It's really cute. His second favorite letter is "f" (he calls fish "f").

Food Allergies

2009-09-02T15:12:00.000-07:00

In addition to the egg allergy, Drew has a peanut allergy. We discovered the peanut allergy when he broke out in hives during dinner at a Thai restaurant. He was treated with an adult dose of benadryl. We'll have his blood tested before he starts preschool to measure the severity. Until then, we will travel with benadryl and jr. epi pens.

Sorry -- no photos for this one. I challenged the nurse who tried to get my measurements. Maybe we'll get some at the 18 month visit.

Stats:
W: 19lb, 11oz - 4%
L: 29in - 5%
H: 47cm - 50%

It's no wonder I use the weight of my head to get out of any unfavorable situation.

I'm a very fast crawler. I'll stand for a few seconds and then sit down. I'll try anything thing you put on my plate and if I don't like it then I'll throw it on the floor. I say: mama, baba, teeth (means I want to brush my teeth), cheese, keys, ball, balloon, bird, uh uh, uh oh. I sing, ba bah, Bah. I'm tough.

I really did not want to give up my bagel when the nurse was taking my measurements. Besides, maybe it was the bagel that helped push me into the 5% for weight. That said, I LOVE food. I like bagels (obviously), ham, mac and cheese (it's genetic), carrots, broccoli, peas, corn, rice, tofu, yogurt, cereal, all fruits minus the banana, etc; I could go on-and-on.

I crawl.

I say uh-oh, mama, more, ball, and book.

I put my hand to my ear as if I'm answering a cell phone when someone says "hello" to me.

I point, wave, and high-five.

I am happy, although I do have a temper. I'll eat anything except for bananas and avocados. I will put everything in my mouth (this includes Rocco's dog food), so my parents must always keep a watchful eye. I say mama when crying and dada when playing. I crawl like I swim.
