Itsy Bitsy Spider

Cailin was reading a book by herself the other day when she was busted doing this. It's one of those books where you go to the page, and push a corresponding button, it plays a song. Well this page is the Itsy Bitsy Spider. She was doing the spider moves as well as listening and dancing to the music. She was very serious about it too.

Just like big sis

Not sure if anyone remembers the semi-famous photo of Cailin when she found this book, "What to Expect The First Year". She was actually famous enough to make the Tichy/Loughlin issue of the "Nattering Nabob" that year for that photo. As every parent knows, if you have this book, it is always within arms-reach with the first kiddo. We haven't used it as much this time around with Andrew, we think we're old pros, only to be put into place every now and again. But we had it out recently because we couldn't remember what examples of first 'table foods' were good ones, since Andrew is now eating table foods. So we pulled the book out and to our amazement, all he wanted to do was play with it. So we snapped a shot of him playing with it. You know to be fair and all since Cailin got her photo taken as well with this. No second child syndrome here right??

This shot on the right is Cailin. She was about almost a month younger than Andrew was when his photo was taken doing the same thing.

What can we say, they are both brilliant!!

Awwwww Shucks, isn't that cutie, wootie...

Ok, enough with the schmoopy stuff. But here is big sis and lil bro hanging out (or hanging on) together this past weekend. Just to give you an idea of what Drew thinks of his big sister.

Actually the way this went down was that Drew was playing with this car (which is supposed to help a kid learn how to walk better, they can hold onto it and then walk behind it....) when big sis budged her way in (since she usually gets jealous when Drew is playing with a toy or two), then Drew tackles her, because she's there to grab onto. They both laugh and think it's great fun. Someday he may figure out he's bigger than her, which seems to be getting closer now, and may put up a stink about it, but for now, he just LOVES her, as you can tell by this photo.

Again, to quote Uncle John "isn't that cutie wootie, da little Drew and Cailin just wove each other, ooooh gooo goo, ga ga."
