Words he can say . . . Mama, Daddy, Nana, Papa, Clock, Duck, Car
Animal sounds that he can make . . . Cow, Horse, Kitty Cat, Dog
He definitely knows how the 4-wheeler goes and the tractor, and PaPa Richard; it's all buddin, buddin.
Foods he likes . . . pretty much anything. He really is a good eater. His new favorite food is shredded wheat cereal, the frosted kind of course. He loves fruit. For breakfast he usually eats a cup of mixed fruit and some yogurt. He will always eat the cherries first, maybe because they are red and they get his attention. On Christmas Eve at Ginny's house, he ate homemade vegetable soup, Lima beans and all. Tonight he and I shared pizza. He loves Goldfish crackers, graham crackers, and likes to share pop tarts with Uncle Brian. The only think he really doesn't seem to like is mashed potatoes. Hummmmmm.
This child loves music. Almost every time he hears music he will start "dancing" or wiggling to the beat. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny seem to capture his attention when they come on TV. In this picture he has a little "CD Player" that plays children's songs and he is dancing and singing.
He has started trying to feed himself and actually use utensils the past few days. He has eight front teeth and two molars. More molars trying to come in now. Poor little guy's gums are so swollen.
He has a 7:30 bedtime and usually goes to bed really well. He also enjoys bath time as he has really learned how to splash and splash big.

He will go into the bathroom and stand by the toilet and start "grunting". LOL. It is like he knows what you are supposed to do then you go to the bathroom. And sometimes he will actually mess his diaper. So Kayla bought a potty chair for him the other day. Yet to see how that goes.
He has started trying to blow his nose. That is hilarious. He will also wipe off his mouth or face with a paper towel. When he hears something cooking on the stove he starts blowing on it like it is hot. He is jabbering even more. Especially when he holds a cell phone up to his ear. He actually acts like he is talking on it. He now gives sugar; it's more like "smack" and he give such good hugs. He will hold out his hands when you say gone gone. And for some reason he is so taken by my cameras, maybe because one has been pointed at him since birth.
I have so enjoyed him the last 5 weeks and realize how blessed I am to have gotten to spend this much time with him. Kayla and Chase bought a house and closed on it this past Wednesday, December 29. They have started moving stuff the past couple of days and Drew was not here last night. I cannot explain how sad that made me. I am so going to miss this little guy! I am so excited for them and I know they want and need to get settled into some sort normal routine. Little Drew is going to love his new home. Why am I crying?
