hood ornament

Drew has been on the move lately with his walker, so I have many more videos of him to show! I thought I'd start with some pictures though because they take less time to view.

Drew recently figured out that the Noah figure from toy set fits very nicely into the circular holes on a number of his toys. As you can see below, Noah fits into the cylinder shape for Drew's shape sorter. Good job Drew on figuring that out!
Drew continues to get better with us reading to him. He can pretty routinely sit through a whole book now, and some nights I read a couple of books to him before he gets squirmy. He also continues to enjoy playing with his books.
Drew is getting better and better at helping around the house :) He cleans (with a Swiffer), he empties the dishwasher, and he also helps with laundry. As we fold laundry, Drew is very good at pulling things out of the laundry basket so that we can fold them.

Doing laundry is fun!
Whenever I'm home with Drew and we know he won't be going out too much, I love to dress him in his casual blue sweatsuit. Drew loves to wear blue!
I'm not sure if these photos are reflective of the two schools, but one day we dressed Drew in Spartan apparrel and he was chewing on his Noah figure (notice the expression on his face too), and then . . .
the next day we dressed him in his Wolverine apparrel and he started reading. Coincidence? I think not! :)
Here's a picture of Drew walking around the house pushing his walker. He goes EVERYWHERE pushing this thing around.

This past Sunday we had supper with Jana's family to celebrate Grandpa John's birthday. Aunt Christina got down on the floor and was chasing Drew around. Drew seems to like it!
All of Drew's playing made him need to slow down and grab a snack! Aunt Christina was happy to give him something to drink from his sippy cup.

Now it's time for some videos! This first one shows Drew wandering around with his walker. Take note of the Noah figure that he's place in the circle shape on the front of his walker! He's like a hood ornament.

Jana went down the basement, so this is Drew calling for attention. He gets pretty loud at times!

Drew uses his walker like a bulldozer to get toys out of the way. In this video there is a green shape from his shape sorter that gets in the way, so Drew moves it out of the way.

Drew was talking a lot this past weekend, and you can here him in this video. He loves to play with his toys in a way that makes noise!

Jana was taking a nap on Saturday afternoon, and I think Drew missed her, so he went over and was playing with her robe. He loves anything with a cord, and he couldn't get enough of the belt on her robe.
