So I (Adam) took Gavin out shopping with me the other day and one of our stops was by one of our favorite chocolate shops. With Valentines upon us the girls of our family were sure to appreciate some extra yummy chocolate treats. After we had made our purchase (he helped make the [...]
It’s that time of year again. Time for the annual Plague. This time we managed to make it all the way until the end of January before we got the dreaded stomach virus. Liam was the first man down, but thankfully had it only mildly (and managed to hit the bucket most of the time). [...]
Today, I showed the 2 year olds that I cannot be out stubborned. They were very unhappy to learn this.
Two hours before dinner last night, I told the small ones that they would need to clean up the bucket of Duplos and the bucket of Thomas Trains that they had dumped out on [...]
So yesterday, I was observing the boys in the living room and I saw Gavin walk away from Liam. Around his neck he was wearing a pair of toy binoculars.
When I saw Liam get up and high tail it after him, I no doubt expected a squabble to ensue over said binoculars.
When Liam [...]
Well, the Princess made a new milestone in little-girldom last night. She had her very first friend stay “all night long!” She was quite excited to invite her friend Naomi for a sleep over.
First let me re-cap our day. We were pretty busy for the most part. I got up and got everyone fed [...]
Please enjoy these whilst I try to write a post this week (in between chasing small people).
We’ll start with the Princess, since she’s the eldest.
She had a grand time collecting dandelions…
But there’s always time to monkey around…
Next in the birth line is Gavin (still my Peanut Butter)
He finally figured out how to make the dandelions [...]
Just thought I’d throw out a quick note about what the guys are doing these days–you know, all their cute little tricks.
Gavin is:
-standing and cruising on furniture
-walking behind the little push toys
-clapping his hands (MIGHT be saying yay, not sure yet)
-saying: all done, more-more, Uh oh and boo (complete with hiding and peeking motions)
-still has [...]
I had wondered earlier in the week if he were saying it and today my suspicions were confirmed. As Gavin finished his lunch this afternoon, I looked at him and said “Are you all done?” (while also signing all done). He looks back at me and says, clear as day, “All done.”
Way to go, Peanut [...]
Peanut Butter and Jelly in all their active baby cuteness:
Loading…
Over the weekend the guys turned the big 9 months old!
In honor of this occasion, Liam cut his 2nd tooth.
Gavin thought about it, but will remain toothless for now. He doesn’t seem to mind. He may just pop 2 at once–there are 2 suspicious bumps on his lower gum, accompanied by cranky behavior…
