While Drew is always very cute to us, he is not always perfectly behaved! Last week he was very quiet for a little while under our kitchen table . . . . which is not always a good sign. Jana discovered him with a highlighter that he was coloring himself with!
In this picture you can see that Drew didn't just limit his coloring to his face, but he also managed to get highlighter all over his pants too. He's such a little stinker!
Last week we babysat Laynie for our friends Rob and Alexis. Drew loved having Laynie around and he gave her lots of flirtatious smiles. When she first arrived I don't think she knew what to make of Drew, so she kept her eyes closed!
Having Laynie around reminded me of the days when I could walk around our house holding Drew. Drew won't sit still like this for very long anymore, and he's heavy!
Drew really like touching Laynie's feet (we're continuing to work on soft touches), and he even coaxed a smile and some cooing from her, which is much better than Jana and I were able to do!
Drew absolutely loves playing with his ball right now. He goes all over the house (crawling) and pushes the ball in front of him. Then he stops, picks the ball up, and throws it.
Here is some video of Drew with his ball. The best part of Drew and his ball is that he goes all over the house saying "ball! . . . ball! . . . ball!" It is so cute!For a long time we were able to use one of our couch cushions to block off a portion of our living room. We stored Drew's toys in this corner and put things we didn't want him to get into, but now he has figured out to grab the cushion, . . .
Pull it over onto the ground, and crawl over it!
Then he has unfettered access to whatever is back there (you can see his basketball hoop in the background). We don't really care if Drew gets over the cushion, so it has been fun to see him problem solve how to get around the cushion.
Here's another picture of Jana and Drew having a good time in our living room. She's probably congratulating him on getting over the cushion!
Drew is so cute after his baths! His skin is all pink and he's warm and cuddly. He'll also actually be held for a few minutes after his bath.
Last night Drew wandered into our bedroom and found the containers of moisturizer that Jana uses for her hands. He was having a great time playing with them.
We were thrilled to see him pick one up and stack it on top of the other one. He would then move the top one, but he always stacked the two containers with the smaller one on top. Way to go Drew!
The other night Drew used a pencil and proceeded to make his first piece of art! We realized he was ready to draw when he was fascinated by the crayons at the daycare where Jana and I work out. Jana handed him the pencil and he proceeded to draw while standing (unassisted) for over ten minutes. He was very engrossed in whatever it was that he was creating.
