They Love Each Other.....

The sweetest thing happened yesterday, GnG kissed each other. Unfortunately, this beautiful event was not captured on camera, but I assure you it was wonderful. It's so nice they are finally acknowledging each other. For the longest time Grant would just run over Gaby as if she were not there and take her toys away, but now that she is more mobile and aggressive, she doesn't stand for that.

Back to the kisses....GnG are constantly kissed, so they like to give kisses in return. It is the cutest thing. Gaby, in particular opens her mouth wide and plants her little lips on your cheek, she can't pucker yet, so her little mouth is wide open on your face, it's so cute...Baby kisses are the BEST!!!

Our Day At The Lake And Park.....

Today was a gorgeous day. We had sunny blue skies and the temperature was just right. We met with our dear friends Cathy, Scott and Sophia for a picnic lunch/dinner, play time on the playground and a mile long walk around the lake. This was your very first picnic and the very first time on a swing. Gabrielle, you really liked the swinging and Grant, you enjoyed it, but not as much as I thought you would. Perhaps you had a little motion sickness and or maybe you were just tired. But we had a great time and can't wait to do it again. Here are some pics from our day.

A New Do!

Okay, for some reason I'm not "allowed" to cut your hair until you're over the age of one. I think there is some weird superstition behind this rule. Well, this week I decided to braid your hair in hopes of making you look more tidy. You both have a lot of hair, so I knew this task would not be an easy one. Fortunately, it worked out fine, but I had to give you both my cell phone to keep you preoccupied. Gabrielle, your hair was pretty easy to braid, but Grant, yours was a bit curlier and more difficult to manage. Well, the new do was tidy for a about 5 minutes, but quickly unraveled as you played ... oh well. But at least I got a couple cute photos out of it :-).

BEFORE SHOTS: UNHAPPY :-(
AFTER SHOTS: ALL SMILES :-)

Today is a new day!

Today I will start writing about the daily adventures I have with my beautiful babies. I should have started this a long time ago (apx. 8 months 2 weeks ago), but better late than never. I'm not good at documenting things, so I figured this is the best way since I'm always on the computer.

Today is a new day. Today is the first day that you, Grant and Gabrielle...aka GnG ate a full solid meal for breakfast. You usually drink a bottle with a little cereal in it, but today we decided to ditch the bottle for real food. You really enjoyed it. Grant Mmmmmm'd every bite of his barley cereal followed by a little peach yogurt. Gabrielle, you seemed to enjoy it too, but I think it was a little too early for you to get excited. Now on to the adventures of the day.
