Drew at the park

Not a lot has been going on, so there hasn't been too much opportunity for pictures. On Mondays, I take Drew to a Play to Learn program, where we meet up with other moms and kids of similar ages at a facility with tons of toys, art projects, stairs and slides, etc. He loves it. This week he found a fire truck and carried it around the whole time - up and down the stairs, down the slide, everywhere. On Thursdays we've been going to storytime at the library, and he loves that too. The other days we meet up with friends, go the park, run errands and stay busy. And, of course, after his lunchtime nap, I feed him and get him cleaned up and then we head to the Y so I can work every afternoon. Last weekend, we headed to the park to let Drew run around. Here he is trying to keep up with Daddy.

And saying "tree."

"Peek."

We've realized that he can say pretty much anything now...as long as it's 2 syllables or less. He tries to say "ambulance" but it comes out "am-bance." But he communicates very well and uses words most of the time to express himself. He will use "one" and "two" appropriately (and will say other numbers but doesn't know what they are yet) and knows what a "square" is. He knows a few colors, but tends to get them mixed up (blue, brown, black are the ones he usually gets). When we say "love you" to him, he smiles and says "uh-vee." There's a few phrases that he doesn't get too close to the actual sounds, but it's just his way of saying it. And one of his latest achievements is jumping. He LOVES to jump and can get pretty high off the ground sometimes. Here's a video of him jumping at the park.



And, of course, he's getting faster and faster - here he is running (over and over) on the bridge. He still loves bridges, buses, and airplanes.
