family update

I don't have new pictures for this post, but I thought I would give everyone an update on what has been going on in our family. We have experienced a big change the past few weeks because Jana has started teaching two graduate-level classes at MSU! Jana's advisor is struggling with some health issues, so Jana graciously stepped in and has taken over as instructor for her advisor's classes. For the rest of this semester, "Doctor" Jana will also be Professor Jana! In addition to taking on teaching those classes, Jana still continues to work in the Eaton Intermediate School District as a school psychologist a couple days a week, and she is teaching an online masters-level course through MSU. She's keeping busy! As a result of both of our busy schedules, Jana and I have placed Drew in daycare full time for the rest of the semester. Previously, Drew was in daycare several days a week, but for the past two weeks he has been going full time. He's a little tired at the end of the day because he has so much fun playing with his friends at daycare, but otherwise he seems to be doing very well with his increased time in daycare. We're all REALLY excited to see each other at the end of the day!
Yesterday we had Drew's one year doctor's visit. He continues to do well and is right on track with his development. He measured 30 1/4" long and weighed in at 22 pounds, 4 ounces. We got a kick out of having him in his diaper at the doctor's office because we usually make him wear clothes around the house. He was so cute and cuddly in just his diaper sitting in our laps! Drew survived getting three more shots, but I think he is started to learn that the doctor's office is the place where he gets shots. He didn't want anything to do with the crinkly paper that covers the examining table and he started screaming as soon as the doctor touched him! He calmed right back down after the shots though, and he has been his usual self ever since getting them.
