4 years ago today, Drew Anthony Bastinelli came into the world, all 6 lbs. 1 oz. of him. He was the most tiny, beautiful thing ever, with dark black hair and dark eyes just like his dad and brother. Drew was a good little baby, he ate well and was pretty mellow for the most part. His big sister Sadie LOVED him right away, too much, in fact, at times. I had to have many a "Mommy needs her space" talks while breastfeeding. ;) Zack loved his new little brother, but didn't really show whether he cared one way or another. Well, that is, until Drew began to crawl and then walk and became an actual threat to Zack's toys!
Happy Birthday, Little Man!
Drew showed us very quickly that he was going to be VERY different than his mellow, sweet, easily entertained big brother! Drew was a mover and a shaker and did NOT want to sit calmly and play! He got into everything and spent all of his time checking things out around the house. He really didn't even enjoy playing with toys until he was close to age 3! He talked early like his siblings and had very few problems with communicating his needs. He was a wonderful sleeper and slept 15+ hours every single day! I say that was God giving me time to calm myself and become a patient Mommy once again. ;)
Our sweet boy at 6 months
One Year
Today, Drew is the light of our lives. He is funny, goofy, silly, sometimes a tad bit moody, and just a joy. He has seemed to have mostly outgrown his 3 year old attitude and meanness (thank goodness!) and is really just a sweet boy. Drew loves people, all of his family members, and even random people he meets at the store. He loves to play dress-up and make believe, he loves his preschool and beloved teacher, Mrs. Kimball. Drew loves music and instruments and tools of all kinds. He is very coordinated and already has begun to teach himself to "ollie" on his skateboard. While watching the Olympics the other day, he told me that I should sign him up for ski jumping classes! We are so thankful to our loving God that He has given us Sweet Drewby and we look forward to watching this little boy grow up!
