Dayton Lane Hurd

So I am a little behind on posting. I'm so sorry to everyone that followed. The newest addition to our family arrived on November 27th, 2008... Dayton Lane Hurd. He arrived 7 weeks early. He spent his first 3 weeks in the hospital but was able to come home a week before Christmas. He weighed 5 lbs 2.6 oz and was 19 inches long. He was big for his age though. He currently weighs 12 lbs and is 23 1/2 inches long. He is very alert and is loved by all. We have been spending more time with him on the floor and letting him play on the sassy mat we got when we had Drew. Drew thinks it is his too. Last night he slept 6 1/2 ounces for the first time. It was nice to get that sleep that I have missed for so long.
Drew is a very proud big brother. Every morning when he wakes up he is very excited to see Baby Dayton and either says Buh or Day for him. Sometimes he will say baby too. He still tries to play hard with him sometimes but is slowly learning that brother is not ready for that yet.

Address Change

Nothing too exciting... I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about our address change. It has changed from 4220B to 4212B... Everything else is the same. I will post more later....

Pouting in the Bathtub

Here are some funny pictures of Drew at the end of his bath. When the water starts draining out or is completely drained out he will lay down and pout. He won't get out like he used to. It is pretty funny! He is really good about putting his toys away when he is done though.

Pumpkin Carving

Sorry it has taken me so long to post about the pumpkin carving. Kinsey stayed the night on Thursday October 30th, so we cut the top off of a pumpkin for Drew to play. Little did we know, he would not do much playing. Instead he just watched me pull the seeds out. Once I put the seeds in the bowl he would play with them then. He did not like the feeling of the inside of the pumpkin. Enjoy these pictures though!

Corn Maze Fun

On Sunday Kinsey came to town for work so we took Drew to the corn maze. We tried Maze 1, which is the hardest, and came out of the entrance of Maze 2. We decided to try Maze 3, which is the family fun maze, and ended up making it out the exit of that maze. They also had a pumpkin patch there so we went out there to pick Drew up a small pumpkin. We attempted getting some pictures but he was more interested in the pumpkins than taking a picture. It was incredibly hot out there but was a good experience for Drew.

Boo at the Zoo

On Saturday, Dean and I took Drew to Boo at the Zoo. We had never been to El Paso's Zoo so we did not know what to expect. It is a smaller zoo but all of the animals were out to play. Drew loved looking at the animals, especially the Sea Lions. He was able to stand at the glass as they swam by. It was very hot out with his costume on so we did not leave it on the entire time.

Trip to Oklahoma

So sorry that I have not updated this blog in a while! We went to Oklahoma to visit friends and for Staci's wedding a couple weeks ago. We had a lot of fun. While we were home we celebrated Drew's birthday with the rest of the family that was not able to make the trip to Oklahoma. Sally, Calvin, and Peyton made the trip from Arlington to come see us since it was the boys' fall break. We took Drew to the park with the dogs one day. Drew also was able to make his first trip to walk around in Stillwater for OSU's homecoming. He loved it there and was screaming and had his arms out the entire time. We were even able to get Uncle Jared to go... Maybe he is becoming a Cowboy fan. While we were in Oklahoma Drew began walking. He is a pro at walking now and prefers it over crawling. We were very happy to come home and see Daddy though.
