More of a calm day...

I’ve spent the past few hours organizing pictures on my computer, trying to downscale the last batch I uploaded from my camera. It’s so time consuming! But at least I got a good chunk of it done.
I feel like I accomplished a lot of little things today. We didn’t do a whole lot in terms of an outing, just went to the pet store to get food and litter for the girls. I got them some catnip as a treat and they lapped it up as soon as I put it in front of them!
Andrew was up twice through the night last night and was more tired today than usual. He napped for about an hour and a half in the early afternoon! I couldn’t believe he slept that long. I was able to get some laundry done, changed the sheets on the bed, dusted the bedroom and did some clothes tidying in there, did some tidying in Andrew’s room. A bunch of little things that were adding up on my ‘to do’ list. It would have been nice to have a nap myself but it’s either sleep or get the stuff done that really does need doing so…At least I wasn’t as tired today as I often am. I was a bit more chipper than I thought I would be today!
N&M came over for a short visit tonight and Andrew was loving the extra attention!
He is doing new cute things every day. I think he’s starting to mimic language a bit, if that’s what you’d call it…When he’s fussing, especially when getting his diaper changed, I will often get him focused by saying, ‘Andrew, what does the cow say?’ followed by a long, ‘MoooOOOOOoooooooo!’ He loves it when I do that! Well today I said, ‘Andrew, what does the cow say?’ and I kid you not, he put his lips into an ‘O’ and made a sort of ‘Moo’ noise! I couldn’t believe it!! I said, ‘MooooOOOOOoooooooo!’ and he mimicked the sound again! He is so clever. He has been saying ‘Ma-ma-ma’ for a while now, says, ‘Ba-ba-ba’ and in the past few days has started saying ‘Da-da-da,’ much to his Daddy’s delight! He will also sometimes say them together, such as, ‘Ma-Ba-Ba’ or ‘Ba-Da-Da.’ It’s amazing how babies learn, I don’t understand how it all works but it’s incredible to witness it happening!

Over all he’s been really good about having run of the house though. I of course keep a close watch on what he’s up to but for the most part he will just check things out and then sit there and look around, maybe throw a cat toy around that he found hidden somewhere!
He is so cute.
