Pictures of Paige & big brother Drake

Well, here are finally some pictures of Paige. Now that Drake has to 'share' his blog with his sister, I'll just update his latest milestones-he can count to 10, knows his colors, loves reading aloud with his 'regular' books-especially shouting out the last word of every sentence, will repeat pretty much anything we say, and now he can do the chicken dance along with his little animal (I need to get that on video & post that one because it's hilarious)

As for Paige, she sleeps a lot, more than I remember Drake sleeping, and will go 3-4 hours at a time at night, so that's not too bad. She definitely enjoys being cuddled and always in a little ball with her arms in front of her face-no flat sleeping for this one!

Video of Drake reading along to one of his booksthis was about 2 months ago--now we can get to 10!

This is a long one-almost 3 minutes, but just shows how he has a 'conversation'-this about what not to do with playdoh.

Drake is 'reading' his Cardinals book.

He loves singing-this shows how he fills in the missing words to his favorite songs.

December fun

Halloween fun

Drake had a ton of fun on Halloween. He went up to the doors and grabbed candy right out of the bowls and put it into his pumpkin. As you can see in the video, he practiced saying trick or treat, but we couldn't get him to say it when he was out-pretty typical that he's a chatter box at home and not in public ;)

He has something important to say!

Watching words and making animal noises

lots of new words

Saying 'lawn mower'

some of his animal noises he knows-he just learned
