Where Do I Start?

Here are a few pictures from the month of January. It's been a busy month, so I am playing catch-up now! We are all doing well here. Drew and Addie seem to grow a ton everyday! Drew started going to a kind of pre-pre school a couple mornings a week. Hopefully that works out and he can escape being here and his High Maintenance sister. He's totally into Blues Clues and his life is complete with a good show, his "binky" (thinking) chair and his handy dandy notebook. He loves to play soccer in the backyard and flip all around the house. He's taken to speaking in full sentences and is growing up way too fast!

Addie continues to amaze us everyday. She is gaining weight pretty well and is a happy baby considering all she's gone through. She has one more month before surgery to grow and get stronger. Her goal for the beginning of March is to weigh 7 kg (she's 6.5 now), sit up on her own, and take 50% of her feeds by mouth! Big Goals... We have a busy month ahead of us!!



Drew writing in his "handy dandy notebook" on one of our trips up to Phoenix...



We are routing for the Cardinals now, but I'm still a Charger fan at heart! How did they lose with a fan this cute?



"Cheetos and a Movie?" I had been putting Cheetos in a bowl for Drew to snack on throughout the day. Here is Drew's attempt at making his own bowl....



Think, think, thinking in his "binky" chair...



Where is that binky?



Attempt at drinking with her sippy cup...



Her favorite toy...the oxygen.... Not sure how safe this is....





This is the "binky" chair and sitting in it is the Red Team! Drew is the coach of course....



How does this cup thing work?



Drew ready to start school with his Mickey Mouse backpack, soccer ball and juice. What else do you need?



Practicing her sitting....



... happy to be back on the floor....



Playing together... this is about as close as Drew will get to Addie and there has to be a toy involved!
