bigfoot

Drew continues to love having the exersaucer. There are many toys to choose from on it (as you can see) and he swivels around and bounces up and down in it quite vigorously. I'm surprised with how strong he is and how good he's become at bouncing the exersaucer up and down (the top part has springs in it to give a little). Last week we celebrated Jana's birthday with her parents and sister. When we were done with our celebration, Grandma Lynn gave Drew his bedtime food. Drew continues to become more talented with eating and as he does this the process becomes much less messy.
Last Saturday Todd came to Lansing to help me out with using his truck to take some loads of junk to the landfill and to pick up new gutters and downspouts for my house. In the afternoon, we took a break so Todd could feed Drew. It seems that taking a turn feeding Drew is the thing to do!

Here is Todd's girlfriend Kelli with Drew. She joined us in the evening to go out for dinner and so did our friends Nate and Meg.
Drew got all dressed up for going out for dinner . . . and he wore his shoes! We got these shoes before he was born from a clearance rack and we didn't think they would fit for a while because they are 12-18 month shoes. Well, they fit perfectly right now! Drew has big feet!
In this picture you can see Drew's whole outfit. Isn't he starting to look more like a little boy and less like a baby?
While Drew loves playing in the exersaucer, he can still roll around on the floor quite well. It's fun to watch!
Drew loves spoons (It's the only silverware we let him play with; forks and knives are not allowed! :) He can amuse himself for quite a while putting it in and out of his mouth.
This is Drew's intent look. With his eyes wide open, he looks like he is taking everything in.

I'm working on uploading a video of some of Drew's latest "talking," but I'm having some technical difficulties with the website I use for video. Drew's other accomplishment is that we finally were able to get him to sit still long enough to master sitting. He sits for long stretches of time now, whereas before he would flop down and start rolling as soon as we put him on the ground. Go Drew!
