June 1 2007

Drew went in for his 9 month appointment today and Dr Craft said we can start giving him finger foods. I tried some finger foods at lunch time today and it kept him much more interested than playing with the same old toys. He sat quietly in his high chair for 15 minutes. Which is unheard of for him. He did drop half the raisins down his shirt but not too bad for a first try and much tastier than paper.

Jackson LOVES "Dora the Explorer" and "Go Diego Go" His vocabulary has increased substantially in the last month since he has fallen in love with them. He now says things like "What should we do?" "In Spanish we say Hola" "The Spooky Forest" He knows about 3 toed sloths, lamas, humpback whales, octopuses, maned wolfs and a number of other animals that I hadn't heard of before watching Diego.

We just got our "new" car. It's a 2003 Land Rover Freelander. Our Mercedes had over 200,000 miles....at least we think so. We aren't quite sure because the odometer broke about 6 months ago. It needs about 2000 dollars in repairs plus a new air conditioner. Having an old car helps me really appreciate our new car.

Jon is still working away on the maids. It seems like every few days he comes home and says "today we had our best day ever." I think he really enjoys it. Life is good. We'll write more soon.
