Drew is a great helper

One morning last week before leaving in the morning, I really wanted to get a picture of Drew in his fleece jacket and mittens. Unfortunately, Drew did not want to keep his mittens on and he was wiggling so much that I couldn't get a very good picture. Sometimes it is hard to get him to stay still! Drew continues to eat away; he loves a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. I actually included this picture though to highlight his hair, which is sticking up quite nicely. Drew' hair is growing quickly (for him) and when he gets out of the bath it sticks straight up.
Last Saturday Drew "helped" me with some work in the garage. While I was working he sat in his stroller and watched my every move. We built some shelves, moved some things around, and cleaned up a little. He was completely mesmerized by everything I was doing. He's going to be a big help some day!
Drew's outfit for helping me included his fleece vest, his yellow hoodie, and mittens to keep his hands warm. We thought he might like the texture of the grass, and then realized that he couldn't feel the grass through all those layers!
Drew "walked" around the yard on my feet, but continually got distracted by the cords on my hooded sweatshirt. They were hard to grab though without the use of an opposable thumb (his mittens have no fingers on them).
Jana is strategically holding Drew before his bath. Drew is getting so much longer in his limbs! He continues to look less like a baby and more like a toddler.
Drew loves playing in the bath with his toys, including his rubber duck!

Here is a video of Drew playing in the bathtub. He usually talks a lot in the bathtub, but he wouldn't do it for the camera. You can at least get a sense of how good he is at splashing!

This past weekend Grandma Sue and Grandpa Bill visited us in Lansing to celebrate my birthday (Oct. 20) and Grandpa Bill's birthday (Oct. 17). Within minutes of arriving, Drew woke up from his nap and Grandma Sue swooped in to grab him. Isn't Drew cute in dinosaur pajamas? His cheeks are still pink from his nap!
I don't know if seeing Drew in his hat will ever get old. Every time we put it on him, it makes us chuckle! :)

Here is one last video of Drew for this post. He makes quite the range of noises and this one involves sticking out his tongue. He also just learned how to "cluck," which I will have to get on video soon! Can you tell that he's getting tired at the end of this short video?
