So Big

Up until about a month ago, Grandma Gritzner's nickname for Drew was "One Trick Pony." This is because "So Big" was about the only thing he would do on command. Well, being around a billion other toddlers and babies at the Meyer campout must have started the gears turning because immediately after we got home, Drew was busting out all kinds of new tricks. Additions included, waving bye bye, crawling around like a crazy man, saying "da da" then "ma ma", pulling himself up to standing on EVERYTHING, folding laundry and playing the tongue clucking game. The clucking game goes like this; Drew makes the clucking sound with his tongue, then we do it, then he does it, then we do it again and so on. Very exciting! He still doesn't want to pat-a-cake on his own. He thinks it's hilarious when I do it with him but the buck stops there.

Maine

A couple of years ago, I became obsessed with horses. I probably would have brought one home if I thought our townhome association would allow it!

While on vacation in Maine visiting Bum's parents, Mitch suffered through a few hours of shopping with me in a cute little town with lots of specialty shops and such. That is where I found my horse! I told Mitch that if he bought it for me, I would stop harassing him about getting a real one.

It worked! And now Maine hangs out with Drew and enjoys wrestling on the couch, getting steamrolled on the floor or watching videos with him.

When we move into the reverse culdesac, I call horse farm!
