Milestones

Happy February everyone! We have had a busy week. Andy's mom visited for the week, which was wonderful. We also went to see the kids' Great Gram Ellington who was staying with Anita. We went to Jump N' Play (indoor inflatable playground) and the Indy Children's Museum with my cousin Nicole and her kids.

The picture of Drew below is him pretending to be Mowgli the man cub. Yes, that is a banana peel on his head. He is learning the months of the year at school and knows his right from left. The letter of the week is 'P' so they had pajama day and wore their PJs to school. His favorite TV right now is Ratatouille and a Dora episode where they pick blueberries (which he has decided to eat. Yeah!) He is awesome to his little sister and helps give her a bink and hands her toys when she drops them. Though he is still learning to share:)

Mirra is 8 months old today. Where does the time go????? The nice thing about older babies is getting more sleep. Knock wood. Mirra's first tooth popped through on Wednesday. She has 3 'words': ga, da, and nah (which she says with much authority). Sometimes she says 'hi a-da' when she looks at Andy. I have started showing her signs. It's early to do that but she is very observant so I figure it can't hurt. She isn't crawling and really has NO interest in being on her stomach as you can see from the last picture posted. She does scoot around in a circle on her bootie though. She often just wants to stand up (with help) which makes us wonder if she will skip the crawling altogether. We shall see....
