Puff Daddy Gets A Walker

Before anyone calls the tabloids, this post isn't about a rap star that is now using a mobility assistance device. Just thought that I better clarify that. Ha!

Drew has discovered the greatness of Gerber Puffs. He concentrates so hard as he tries to pick them up and get them to his mouth. We usually help him a little and then watch as he gums them until the dissolve. I realize, of course, that they have almost zero nutritional value. (A serving is considered 73 puffs and only amounts to 25 calories.) But, they do encourage the pincer grasp, so that makes me feel justified in giving them to him. Plus, he looks so darn cute gnawing away at them!

We also got the walker out of the attic for Baby Drew this week. He scoots around and is totally entertained by his independence. Walkers have gotten a bad rap lately, but both of our kids have really enjoyed them. We don't use them any where near stairs and are always in the same room with Drew when he uses it. So... that's my little disclaimer. :)

What a fun stage of babyhood our Drew is in!
