The Davis Family: D is for Drew!

We've been pretty busy since my last blog post. My parents came in town last weekend and we all went to Virginia on Saturday to visit our cousins. It was a warm day and we enjoyed tons of delicious food and outdoor fun. Drew and I spent the beginning of the week in Myrtle Beach with Mom and Dad. They had plans to go there with some friends for a golf trip so Drew and I decided to sneak down for a short visit. We had a great time and Drew came back with quite a few new toys that he talked CC and Day Day into buying him! The rest of the week has flown by with chores, running errands, park visits and tons of playing outside. We're looking forward to a fun and hot (temp in the 90's!!!) weekend!

I want to mention a few new things that Drew has learned. His vocabulary is unreal and he pretty much talks non-stop. I love it! He also counts to twenty now and knows lots of letters. He is always on the watch for letters that he recognizes. Anytime he sees a "D," whether it's on a package at the grocery store or a sign on the highway, he yells "D. D is for Drew!" Another one of his favorites is "O" and the hysterical part is he says, "O is for Baby O-Tee" (his name for Whitley). The name stems from "Cristie." He couldn't say Cristie when he first started talking so he nicknamed her O-Tee. I guess he decided to just call Whitley Baby O-Tee since it's Cristie's baby. I think it's adorable! Drew also introduces himself to people now by saying "My name is Drew Davis" instead of just Drew. He is also very specific when it comes to descriptions. For instance, he has a bunch of sea creature figurines that he loves to play with. If you try to call the blue fish just a "fish," he will correct you and say, "It's a blue marlin." The seals are seals and the seal lions are sea lions, not to be mixed up. He learns something new constantly and although I hate to brag, he's a pretty bright kid. You can't blame a proud Mom for bragging though :)
