Drew next decided to go for the glamorous position, and he dropped back to pass like a quarterback. He's obviously scanning the living room for an open receiver. (We're still working on his spiral)
I don't know how he could choose this position after being quarterback, but I guess he could be the holder for extra points and field goals. Maybe this means he's also considering being a receiver with good hands.
Okay . . . maybe some of those previous pictures were slightly posed and most of what Drew did was pictured below . . . putting the ball in his mouth. I'm still really excited that he likes the football, but I think we'll have to work on football skills once he's a lot older!
Here is Drew playing on the floor with his alligator while wearing his cute blue overalls.
Drew continues to love to stand and he's working really hard on pulling himself up on things. While we want him to walk someday, we're not encouraging him too much yet!
This is Drew's latest solid food . . . the veggie puff. (Mmmmm)
We put the first veggie puff in his mouth, and he didn't quite know what to make of it. The puffs melt in his mouth, but they give him a chance to gum on a solid to learn how to chew (they're a little easier to get down than a Cheerio). By the second and third one Drew had the hang of it, and he seemed disappointed when we put them away.
Drew paused between veggie puffs to show that he was enjoying them!
This past weekend Michigan State had a very big football game against our rival Notre Dame. With an evening game, Nate and Meg, Dan and Sandra, and Aunt Christina joined us for an afternoon of tailgating on MSU's campus. Our family was decked out in Spartan apparel for the tailgating!
Drew was pretty excited about tailgating for the first time. 
Aunt Christina swooped in for a picture with our little Spartan.
Behind Dan and Nate you can see the tents some people brought tailgating. Our visitors were fascinated by the tailgating culture that includes blow-up Spartys, tents, TVs, satellite dishes, huge grills, and lots of food. We all enjoyed walking around and looking at the tailgate spots people had set up.
This is what tailgating is all about . . . sitting around with food and drinks getting ready for the game. We all had fun experiencing a tailgate on a big game day.
While it was warm out, it was not always the nicest day this past Saturday, so when it started to sprinkle a little before we left Christina took Drew into the car for shelter.
Unfortunately, despite our fun tailgating afternoon the Spartans lost to Notre Dame that night :(The picture below shows Drew in his footie pajamas. We were looking through his clothes and decided to try these on. They're a little big still, but with the sleeves rolled once they fit him pretty well, especially in the feet . . . they're size eighteen months! Drew continues to get bigger and one of the problems we're finding with footed outfits is that Drew has very big feet. Most of our twelve month or smaller footie pajamas don't fit Drew's feet! He's still a fairly skinny guy, but those feet are huge.
This is Drew on the move in his footie pajamas. Drew is moving more and more quickly and he sometimes gets into the full crawl position with his torso off the ground.
