Drew is beginning to really expand his vocabulary, so for my amusement I am listing all the things he can say to date:

Momma
Dada
Aeya - for Malia
Bubba - for Cole (really don't love Bubba, but the nickname for big brother just seems to roll off the tongue!)
hot
shoe - the kid is OBSESSED with his shoes.
Nana - my mom
Papa- my dad
Hamma - Chad's mom
Doo - his name
nana - banana
no - for HECK NO
bay - for his blanket
poo poo
pee pee - such fun words to say!
baba - for his bottle (yes...he is still on it)
more
baby
puppy
ball
appull - apple


I *think* that's it. Our lil stinker will turn 20 months on the 26th of September...we are over the moon with our lil guy!

This, that, and everything in between

With Malia in school, it's been just me and the boys. I miss my girl, but having some special time with Cole and Drew has been fun and very, I don 't know, BOYISHEEE...love it!

Cole started homeschool today. He was so excited, so when it was over, he just said...uh, is that it?! Ha! Guess I'm gonna have to dig deeper into the well to keep him interested. It's fun to be doing the same material with Cole as I did with Malia and see the differences between the two. I so love going back over the same stuff I covered with her, makes me realize how far she's really come and how ready Cole is to learn. So fun!

I also turned another year older yesterday...can't say I love the getting older part, but I sure have enjoyed my journey getting here! Chad made arrangements for a fun night out with our whole fam at Shogun's. Who can resist that onion volcano...no one, that's who!

Malia is doing great in school and is getting ready for her big birthday next week. I'm so proud of her!

Here are a few of my fav pics over the last month...
