Drew loves to play the piano, and so do his sisters. But of course he can't sit on the bench all by himself, so this day I stuck him between the girls and all was well! For about 5 minutes anyway.
Emma is so cute with her arm around Drew to make sure he doesn't fall off. Such a little mommy!
Usually if he isn't sitting with me playing the piano, Drew has to stand up and although he can't see the keys, he reaches up and can play the notes with his fingers. He loves it. :)
Kelsey and I went to the Medical School Black and White formal "Medicine Ball". This was after we got home - the girls insisted on taking pictures with us.
Hmmm... I think Emma's shirt was on backwards! I told the babysitter that she didn't have to put the girls to bed early. They could fall asleep to a movie or something easy. But they were still happily playing when we got home at midnight!
instead of formal photographers at the ball, there was a photo booth!
The girls sadly haven't taken naps since they were 2 years old, but occasionally they fall asleep in funny places! Emma couldn't keep her eyes open any longer while watching a movie.
and Ella didn't want to go to bed so she sat on the floor in the living room but was too tired to fight sleeping!
Drew is a wonderful baby! He is happy all the time and very affectionate with big open mouth wet kisses. :) He is crawling everywhere now and needs to be able to get into some things because so many things are off limits. So.... the movies. We had a terrible time keeping the girls out of them and tried putting toys in front of them and other ideas, but nothing really worked. They even used to be alphabetized! Now Drew pulls them off the shelves daily, and I quickly put them back in random order.
He likes to see how many he can knock off at once. Playing with the movies is a also a great deterent from the electrical stuff. When I vacuum he tried to eat the vacuum cord or wrap it around his neck! He is very curious about the vacuum and is constantly in the way! Sometimes if I am in a hurry I put him in the jumperoo or crib to cut my vacuuming time in half. A few days ago the poor baby had his fingers run over not once but twice! Didn't phase him though - after he stopped crying and recovered he was right back in front of the moving vacuum trying to grab it!
We got the baby swing back out because we are watching a 10-week old for a few months. Drew had been playing with it a lot, so I finally put him in and he was so excited! I didn't think he would like it. I assumed he would try to climb out, tip it over, or do something undesireable. But he was so sweet and just layed there grinning! After a long time I gave him his pacifier and he fell asleep! I'm sure we will have to replace the batteries soon to compensate for the heavier weight!
