apple

Drew recently got another haircut! His hair has been growing out quite nicely and he now has a full head of hair (finally!!). It was getting pretty long and unruly on the top, and Jana let me cut it again. I like shorter hair, so Jana lets me know when it is all right to cut Drew's hair again. Otherwise, I'd be cutting it all the time! Drew does a great job of sitting still while I'm cutting his hair. He loves the sound of the clippers and I think he actually likes feeling the vibration of them and having my hands holding his head. Either way, he hardly moves while I'm working!

The finished product! Drew always looks a little older right after his haircut.

Drew started with eating corn from the cob and now he eats bananas and apples that aren't cut up as well. Here he is working on an apple and giving me a silly grin.

This video shows Drew at work on his apple. He doesn't eat that much of the apple and he sometimes sucks on pieces of apple and then spits them out, but he's getting there. Some of his foods are more novel than nutritional!
I've been having some problems with this video, so if it doesn't load for you, please try again later.

Drew still uses this cart to transport things around the house! In this picture he's moving some of his Duplos around. It amuses us to see him with this cart because it was what he used when he was first learning to walk. Now it is just fun to push around.

Drew is reading here with Jana. He brings books to us all the time to read. Especially if we are trying to read something on our own, Drew comes up with one of his books and wants to join in the fun!

We've worked with Drew so that once we read to him for a bit, he'll also read on his own. Now the cart is being used as a chair! It's so cute it's distracting when Drew "reads" out loud to himself :)

Drew is a great help around the house. After finishing his meal the other day he walked over to the sink, found a dishcloth to clean with, and started to wipe off his chair and tray. He did a pretty good job!

Here's a video of Drew showing off his cleaning skills:

Drew found this crate the other day and hopped into it. Watching him playing in it I decided to have some fun and we walked around the house with him in the crate. He got heavy though after a little while!

This last video shows Drew doing some silent reading. Notice that as he turns the page he pauses to check out what's behind the panel on each page!

Drew figured out how to get INTO his toy chest the other day. He climbs up on the box for his Duplos and then clambers in. He can get out of the chest on his own, but usually he's content to just sit in here for a while playing with all his toys. We love it because it doesn't scatter toys all over the room. He keeps them right there in the toy chest with him!
