Bumbo Bath

Another picture I am printing. Gabriel in his big sister's (hence the pinkness) bumbo in the bathtub! He thought it was great!!

Gabriel has one of these teething necklaces that Darla told us about. This is the first night we put it on him...  Terry asked forgivenes for putting such a thing on him, and Gabriel was happy to forgive him. Kinda creepy, but hey- if the necklace keeps us only changing his clothes once a day instead of 7- we're game!

This is a picture I actually am getting printed.... we hardly ever print pictures... but this is so good of both of my two favorite men!

Gabriel all bundled up in Daddy's sweatshirt so he could come with us to watch the doggies run. Stinkin' winter---it's cold!

Outside



Any who know Mollie, they will realize just how LONG it took me to make her lay down next to Gabriel... So long, Mavric was already kind of starting to get up from nicely laying down. :)

Our employee, Denise, went to the pumpkin patch with her grandson today and brought Gabriel a pumpkin... he thought it was the coolest thing ever.

HAPPY boy

Colder weather is here.... A lot of times we will find Mollie and Mavric cuddled up.

Terry's 'please forgive me' face after feeding the dogs the hamburger that I was going to eat!!

Kohl's sent out a $10 free promotional gift, so we headed to Kohl's. This sleeper/hat/onesie/pants with feet combination was on sale- so we got the 4 piece set for $6. Daddy picked it out... thought it looked masculine :)

 

I think Gabriel looks sooo cute sitting on his throne.

I came across this picture on my computer and I absolutely love it..

New Years at Parker's- the dogs looking up the stairs with hopes that they could come up. Mollie's tail is a blur as it wouldn't stop wagging.

Good ole Mollie and Mavric sometimes get neglected with Gabriel around!

I think this is the best smile yet that we have captured on film. He loves Auntie Dawn and her patty cake game!

Gabriel loves to 'help' hold his bottle now!! - big boy!
(this usually results in his frustration because he wonders why his fingers are in the way of his nipple!)

Gabriel's happy place.... he absolutely LOVES sitting on the pot... he dances jigs. (until he falls backwards)

 

Terry is pretty sure that the only reason Gabriel was so happy right now is because of WHERE he was. Riiiiiight. But we'll let him think that :)

We had a great weekend at Curt and Cindy's this weekend...  We're glad they were willing to host us!

Gabriel and Brielle... Brielle currently seeing is Gabriel's ear was really attached or not.

Darla and I wondering if Gabriel was done!

Uncle Nate put Gabriel to sleep.

What seems like AGES ago, Darla sent a picture of Brielle balancing herself on the potty. Gabriel has finally caught up- he can do it too now!!

HAPPY boy on the pot! (I have a picture of exactly WHY he was so happy, but I will refrain from posting it this time)

A typical morning pose... Gabriel LOVES mornings!!

One last thing for today-

Last night in meeting, Gabriel was awake the whole time. He was looking around at everyone- sometimes concentrating on his toys, sometimes letting out little 'coo' noises.. All of a sudden (as I was speaking) he started to bellar. I quick finished up, grabbed the diaper bag and took him out. Once I got to the bathroom, I calmed him down- put him on the potty- and he pooped a big log. Things aren't fun anymore when you need to poop!

 Using Mavric for tummy time. (this was NOT Mavric's idea)

Using Mavric for a back rest and Mollie needed to put her excited nose into the picture as I snapped it.

 Mavric decided that he didn't like being used as a back rest- so down went Gabriel. Gabriel didn't mind a bit.

Mavric decided since his nice, cozy, comfortable spot on the bed was invaded, he would just cuddle with his squeak toy in the hall way. Must always have something to lay on.

 The other day I layed Gabriel on the wash floor and Mollie needed a little cuddle time.

My two favorite men again. Daddy reading a story to Gabriel.

 Last night at Kitcho, Gabriel got the giggles.

Gabriel thought he was pretty neat with his chopsticks and getting to sit on the table.

 'Galeb' and 'Cabriel' having a stare down on the chair. Mollie is barking like crazy in the background at something she might have once seen somewhere :)

Gabriel has started 'solid' food. He loves his cereal and sweet potatoes, but absolutely HATES green beans. We have to hide green beans in with his sweet potato/cereal meals to use them up. He now has amazing terds that he goes on the pot. His whole face turns red, he grunts, screams, and then smiles. (very pleased with himself and feeling much better!)

Our two four-legged children.  Anyone who knows us best, knows that Mollie and Mavric are just like kids to us.... we've gone to the dogs!

I may come and go with this blog, but there are some pics I want recorded. So, for starters, here are my two favorite men!
