Drew is quite the little helper, and now that he has figured out how to use his green container as a stool, he's able to be even more helpful! Whenever Jana is working in the kitchen, Drew says "I can help," and he grabs his container, plops it on the floor, steps up on it, and gets his hands into whatever is going on. In this picture Drew is helping wash dishes. Jana usually gives him a towel and Drew dries the items that aren't easily breakable. We get such a kick out of how much Drew enjoys being useful around the house!
Reading continues to be a big thing in the Aupperlee house. Drew's attention span while reading books is great, and Jana and I love having him cuddle in for a story. As you can tell by Drew's pajamas, he's getting his pre-bed story here with Jana. After having Drew at daycare during the day, we're happy to spend time on the couch with Drew reading.
Drew enjoys the books and is getting better and better and knowing most of the titles of his books and being able to read along in a few of them. He's got a short book with vehicle names from A to Z by Richard Scarry, and Drew can "read" almost the entire book!
Drew is so busy playing most of the time that it's hard to get him to look at the camera. When he does look at the camera he usually makes weird faces to amuse himself while we struggle to get a cute photo. He finally gave me a normal look during this break from playing with his toy ambulance!
Despite being a big boy now at two-years-old, Drew is still amused by the occassional game of peek-a-boo!
Aha! A Drew smile was finally caught on camera! It was hard to get Drew to take a break from reading "The Little Engine That Could."
Drew talks ALL the time now, and Jana and I love to hear the sound of his voice. He's especially chatty in the morning before we get him up and some nights when he doesn't want to sleep. We'll sit and listen to him for minutes over the monitor as he talks to himself and sometimes to his stuffed animals. We've had some heart warming moments over the past few weeks when Drew spontaneously shows affection or randomly looks up at one of us and says, "I love you!" What great moments as a parent!
Look for more birthday pictures to come, but the week before Drew's birthday our friends Jeremy and Kristin came over to celebrate Drew's birthday. Here is Drew opening his present. After Christmas and now his birthday, Drew is VERY good at opening presents. Remember last year when he opened his presents piece by piece of wrapping paper? Now he tears them open!
Drew immediately got into his new book . . . about Curious George! Drew loves the Curious George books, and we've gotten a number of them now that he LOVES to read.
