Sweet Boys

Okay, so I am clearly not the best photographer, but I was SO excited to get these pictures of the boys together! Drew has been paying a lot of attention to Hemming lately, and has started "loving" on him on a regular basis (I know, it has been 2 months!). Anyway, I finally got Drew to hold Hemming without trying to get him out of his lap immediately. The pictures might not be great, but you can see how proud Drew is of himself for holding the baby. Hemming doesn't look quite as entertained!

More Halloween Pics...

Here are a few pictures of Drew dressed up in his Chicken costume. He was so tired after travelling to Oxford that he wasn't a very energetic chicken to say the least! He also preferd to crawl??? Go figure, the child just does his own thing- ALL the time! Whatever makes him happy! Also a couple of pictures of my brother Brett and sister Kristie in their costumes. It was a fun weekend with all of my family in town to celebrate mom's birthday!

Sunshine Bear- hillarious! Brett was Sunshine Bear 23 years ago at the age of 3 and decided to replicate the outfit, so funny.

Halloween Weekend in Oxford

We spent last weekend in Oxford for Halloween (Mom's Birthday!), Ole Miss vs. Auburn, and my friend Courtney's Baby Shower. Here are a few pictures from the weekend- I stole from Emily Oxford since all of mine aren't downloaded yet! More pics of Drew the Chicken to come...

Fall Photo Shoot?

The fall is my favorite time of year, and I thought it would be a great time to take some pictures of Drew outside. They turned out surprisngly well consideing Drew was mostly looking at the airplanes flying over the house and counting pine cones! Here are a few "candids", no posed smiles as usual!

All smiles!

In case you haven't noticed, it's hard to catch Drew looking at the camera with a smile. Mostly because he can never seem to be still long enough for a pose, and partly because the child does close to nothing on command! Hemming has given me more "material" in one sitting than Drew has in 2 years! Hope these pictures make you smile too!

Laughing at Hemming!

Big Smile!

Little Smile!

Drew is Two!

I can't believe that Drew is 2, it has gone by SO fast! He is the sweetest little boy, easy going but not without an opinion! We are just in love with him and this fun age, he is full of surprises! We decided to have a very small and laid back birthday party this year. A big celebration with invitations and more than minimal effort was just not in the cards with a newborn! Most importantly, Drew doesn't know the difference at this age and was more than satisfied to open gifts and eat lots of cake with his best buddy Anderson and sweet friend Grace! Drew loved all of his presents and spent most of the night playing with all of them one at a time. We are looking forward to the "Teriffic Two's", as Boo likes to call them!

Yummy!!!

4 weeks old!

Hemming is 4 weeks old tomorrow, and is doing great! He has slept through the night the past 2 nights (8 and 9 hours!!!) and is getting chubbier every day! Drew has been so good, still pretty indifferent towards Hemming but very tolerant of his new little brother. Having 2 has been a much smoother transition than we thought, so much so that we decided to go to Oxford last weekend and brave The Grove with both little ones! We had a great time other than experiencing the Rebels embarassing loss to Vandy, and both boys were well behaved- whew! Below are some pictures from the last few weeks, including Drew holding Hemming's hand- the first sign of affection he's shown towards him, haha!

"Piggies"

Drew has not paid much attention to Hemming since we brought him home a week ago today. An occasional pat and the mention of "baby" is pretty much all Drew has offered! Tonight Hemming was in the bouncer on the floor and Drew walked over to him, crouched down, grabbed is toes, and said "piggies!". So funny that "piggies" is all Drew has had to say to Hemming in a week! As you can see, Hemming's "piggies" are quite noticable for a newborn!

Sweet Faces

Here are a few more pictures of the two sweetest faces I know!

Hemming's First Week

Hemming will be one week old tomorrow and we're so glad to have him home! He is a good eater and sleeper and just a joy to have around. Drew has been pretty much un-fased by Hemming's arrival, saying "baby" constantly and giving Hemming lots of "love pats". Here are some pictures from his arrival and the last week, thanks so much for all of your love and support!

Hemming Arnold Williamson

Baby Hemming was born today, August 28, at 4:40 am. He weighed 7 pounds and 11 ounces and was 20 inches long. Hemming is named after Andy's late grandfather, and Arnold is after my family, of course! We feel so blessed for this baby to have such special names from both of our families, and we're very thankful for a healthy baby.

Summer Pictures

My sweet sister sent me some pictures of Drew from the last couple of weeks, he is getting so big! He has no concept that he will soon be joined by a little brother, but walks around saying "baby" all the time. Clearly he is hearing about the baby on a regular basis! He has moved out of the nursery into his "Big Boy" room, but is still in the crib for now. We thought that might be too much transition all at once! Anyway, we're just enjoying these last 2 weeks with Drew before our next little blessing arrives!

Stolen "Stuff"!

We have had a terrible time these last few weeks keeping up with our things, or rather with other people TAKING our things! Our i-pod was stolen out of my unlocked car at my parents house- oops on our part, Andy's car was broken into (window smashed) and his golf clubs were stolen, and I left my camera in a drawer in the beach house we rented at Watercolor. It was taken by one of the housekeepers within 24 hours- before we could get someone back in there to retrieve it!

Anyway, especially bad timing with the camera since we are having a baby in 2 weeks! I'm guessing there won't be anymore pictures on the blog until the baby comes, we are so excited and will definitley have a camera (borrowing at the very least) to document the new baby and his big brother!

How time flies!

This picture was taken at Kristie's 21st birthday, one month ago from today.  Interestingly enough, we will have a new little boy one month from today!  This picture reminded me of how fast a month goes by, and how quickly our new little one will be here!  

Discovering my diaper...

I've never really thought about it until today, but Drew has been pretty oblivious to the fact that he wears a diaper. Things have obviously changed, here's what I found when I went to check on him during "nap" time...

I have to say that it was pretty hillarious, mostly because this is one of the more flattering pictures of what I saw! Thankfully a new diaper was all it took to get him to sleep...
