Month O Drew

February is Drew's birthday month and he is very excited for the 24th!! A few drew stories...

So one night drew would not go to bed because he had fallen asleep in the car at like 5:00 so we told him he could watch a movie on OUR itouch if he would stay in his bed. He stayed in watching Star Wars for over an hour then I hear Dean hysterically laughing and I look in his room to find this.
i am sure he could not have been happier, why are his jammies unzipped you might ask? no idea he gets hot i think.

drew's favortie thing to do EVERY time one of us is about to come home is hide in the house somewhere, then we have to pretend that we don't know where he is then we have to find him. It is getting a little old every night when dean comes home but we try to play long because one day he won't want to play with us anymore. Anyway the other night he wanted to find a new place to hide they are getting few and far between. he picked the dryer and was going back and forth between that and the washer, probably not a great place to play but we didn't close the doors I was in the kitchen making dinner. so dean comes home finds him he is happy no big deal right? so the next day I go to start some laundry and notice a strange colored liquid in the bleach/downy dispencer and think what the heck is that so of course in order to dectect anything you have to smell it. The smell was clear what it was but still quite strange how it got there. I go get drew bring him to the scene and ask him if he knows what that is, his quick response: pee! What the heck it was kind of funny because how did he do that??? and why? He said he was hiding and had to go... of course what else makes sense. I made him have time out and wash it out. Crazy kid!

Avery at 6 months old!

Now that Avery is almost 7 months old I want to remember what she was like at 6 months. At her appoitment she weighed in at 12.9lbs and was 24 inches, that put her very low in the rankings. Less then 5% for weight and 5% for height, her doctor thought we should go full force with the solid foods for the next month and see if we could have her gain a little weight. She started off great she liked cereal, carrots, sweet potatoes, pears, bananas, and applesauce I thought wow this is so easy that was all in the first week. I am now singing a different song after a few frustrating weeks, she is possibly teething, she now will only eat fruit, bread, and cereal if she feels like it she is a bit particular. She stopped nursing and now only eats like 4 ounces of each bottle so my guess is she may be losing some weight now. Suggestions??
She is still a great baby inspite of these new little difficulties. She sits up really well by herself she does not love being on her stomach but just this week is figuring out how to get up on all fours. She loves to stand and can pull herself up when holding on to my fingers. She loves to watch Drew and the TV, she likes to play patty cake and peek a boo and be a part of whatever is going on.
Excited and happy to eat cereal
Not so happy to be eating
