Happy Birthday Drey!

My sweet little Dreyson turned 2 last weekend. I know I say this about every little milestone in my kids life, but I can't believe he's 2 already! Time goes by too fast! I absolutely love this little guy. Seriously, how can you not? Look at that cute face!

Here he is with his birthday presents. Dreyson is a very busy boy. I tried really hard to buy him presents where he could be active. He is not one to sit and play, not even with cars, so I had to think of things that he could do. He got a t- ball set, stick horse, and some new toys for our sandbox. Hopefully that will keep us busy outside this summer.
Drey loves trains! He goes crazy when he sees any sort of train. Here he's showing off his new Thomas the Train shirt. He also got a Thomas book that plays music from Nana and Papa, and a Mickey Mouse train from my sisters. They all know him well. (He also LOVES Mickey Mouse.)

Getting a T -Ball lesson from Daddy.

He got this cute little 4 wheeler from Grandma and Grandpa. How cute is that?!

Enjoying his birthday treats!

Here are just a few things about Drey:

-Drey is such a sweetheart. He loves to cuddle and snuggle. He still comes in my room every morning and snuggles up to me. Sometimes he stays for a minute, sometimes for an hour, but he does it every day.

-Drey loves to tease. He thinks he is so funny when he takes something of some one's and then pretends to give it back, only to turn and run off. He will do this over and over.

-Drey is still not a talker. We are hoping that will improve in the next few months.(at least before his 3rd birthday. ha!) Here are a few things he does say:

• Mom
• Dad
• Nana
• Papa
• Puppy (This is what he calls Jena. We ask him to call for Jena and he will yell "Puppy!" Too funny!)
• Cookie/Mickey/Kitty (these are all the same word, you just have to pay attention to what he's doing or pointing at)
• Baby
• Pop (he says this for bubbles)
• Cheese /Keys (again, same word, just have to watch what he's doing)
• He can sign for milk, please, and thank you.

-I used to say that Drey was definitely a mama's boy, but he's starting to make me think otherwise. He asks for Daddy first thing in the morning. (after he cuddles with me- ha!) He loves to watch for Kevin to come home from work and he is usually the first to greet Kevin at the door. He asks for Daddy at night when brushing teeth and always wants Kevin to do it, which makes it hard when Kevin is still gone to school at night. I have to convince him to let me help him.

-Drey absolutely loves Jena. He will go along with almost anything she says. He follows her around all day and wants to do just what Jena is doing, even if it includes playing barbies, dolls, or house. He laughs at anything Jena laughs at. I know there are times when they are watching cartoons and he doesn't understand that something is funny, but he will laugh because Jena does.

-Dreyson loves his Grandpa's. Whenever we go to either set of Grandparents house, he goes straight for Grandpa every time.
