Gabbie Girl

She says to me "Be quiet; I'm trying to get this tired baby to sleep". Gee...wonder where she's heard that and seen this before? Just so she doesn't imitate my trick of putting the real baby in the car and driving until he falls asleep...
The title of the post is because today someone asked her what her last name was and she said "Gabbie Girl".

Not the greatest video of this, but Will has a funny way of mobilizing himself by getting up on his hands and toes instead of his knees!

I'm glad I have instilled in my daughter the importance of birthdays...we made 'homemade playdough' one day, and she insisted she make a birthday cake out of it :) I thought we should eat it, but she said "not until we blow out the candles". So, we did.

Apparantly we found one fear that Will has...

Easter photo shoot

I was trying to take a picture with my phone to send the 'California aunts', but the battery won't hold charge long enough to get that accomplished. So, here's the kiddos on Easter before going to church. Happy Easter!

Trip to St. Louis, Etc.

First Day of Preschool: Jan 31, 2012 (Officially 3 years and 3 months old, and finally potty trained!)

Valentine's Day! She missed her party at school due to vomiting, and by the end of the week had Influenza A, but she loved her Cars Valentines anyway :)

Will did get a "half birthday party" on Feb 29th! Gabbie picked the colors for the cake.

In the arch

Holding G and G on the way down from the arch...a little nervous!

Found Dad for a family picture :)

Chillin' once we got home

I'm 7 months old today!

On the move!

Will mastered sitting up on his own and crawling over the past several weeks! Its fun...until he's eating my houseplants, eating newspapers, etc. I may have to consider mild 'babyproofing'. We got through this with Gabbie by using the "pack-n-play". This isn't working with Will. When he's in the "pack-n-play" then he can't keep up with Gabbie! He gets pretty upset if we try to limit his space.
