Andrew and I were able to get away for a vacation/babymoon while Grandma and Grandpa stayed home with Drew. He was just getting past having some seperation anxiety, so I had a little anxiety of my own leaving him behind for eight days. That's the longest we've been apart so far. But thanks to Skype, Eyejot and other technological advances Drew didn't forget about us and seemed to be quite content with Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks to them! We couldn't have done it without you.

Maui was wonderful, a much needed respite from work and before the birth of our second. Twelve weeks to go. Man, how time flies! The baby is quite a mover and shaker, lots different from when Drew was in utero. Maybe it means something, maybe not? A little girl perhaps? Won't be long until we find out. THe due date is March 6th. Wonder what the actual date will be?
Drew continues to grow rapidly. His development is astounding! He mimics us quite frequently and we are positive that he said, "I see you!" last night while in the tub. He has many words in his vocab now - of course, they're Drew words, but we figure one day soon he's just gonna pop out with full statements using regular words.
He toddles around and quite quickly. He LOVES trucks, or anything with wheels. He's fascinated with machinery - everything from the vacuum cleaner to the mower in the garage. It's fun indulging him with those things - trucks on the street, cars on his cups, books about all kinds of trucks. I've sure learned more about the different kinds of trucks than I ever knew was out there.
He is so much fun. His little chortle, his big grin with almost all of his teeth, the way he runs from you and glances over his shoulder to see if you're following, the way he sits in your lap to read a book, etc etc.
We missed him terribly while away. And we are looking forward to the holiday season with him in a couple short weeks. We'll be sure to share pictures. Meanwhile, Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
