Walk, Climb, Pull, Tear, Destroy......

These are the days I was warned would come, the days that their goal would be to seek and destroy. I can't take my eyes off them for one second. Now that Gabby is walking Grant has decided he has to do even more than the usual walk. He only runs now and he also climbs. Today I left them in their playroom for just one minute, when I returned I found Grant sitting on the bed. He pulled one of his toys close to the bed and used it as a stool. How clever for him and scary for me. What am I going to do?!! Please pray for us :-).




They both have mischeif written all over their face in this pic.

Super Walk

Superbowl Sunday was more than just a game day, it was the day that Gabby took her longest walk ever. We had some friends and family over to watch the game and Gabby decided this was her moment to shine. Before this day she had taken no more than 5 to 6 steps; but on this day she pretty much walked across the room. She has been walking ever since. We are so excited...you can tell from all the howling and cheering in the video :-).

Jelly In The Belly? I Think Not!

We've been testing new snacks lately and here are pictures from the day we had jellied crackers. GnG really enjoyed this treat, can't you tell by the mess?!

Happy New Year!

New Years has always been bittersweet for me, I just don't like saying goodbye. But instead of looking back and feeling sad about saying goodbye to the year, I looked back on what a great year it has been, especially with GnG.

This year started off really tough with two newborns. There were many sleepless nights, lots of poopy diapers(we still have these), tons of bottles to sterilize, struggles with breast feeding and pumping, extra weight, and the list goes on..... While that time was very difficult, I have no regrets. Every sleepless night was worth it. My precious babies are growing so fast and I'm enjoying every minute. I look forward to the year ahead for all that GnG will learn to do, say, etc.

I have so many people to thank for all they did to help us make it through this year. You know who you are :-). Here are some of my favorite pics of the year.

Boys Will Be Boys...

Grant is all boy. He is rambunctious, strong, outgoing, curious, fearless and loving all at the same time. He loves to play rough, for example, he loves for us to give him a little push so he falls to the floor. Okay, that sounds really bad, but it's not :-). Just a little push and he will burst out in laughter and fall to the floor. Thank God he has a nice fluffy butt to fall on.

Recently he has started to engage Gabby in his roughhousing. He usually grabs her from behind and takes her to the floor. She used to cry, but I think she likes it now. Grant was caught in the act...here are some shots.

Coming Soon.....Another Walker!!!

New flash!!! Last week Gabrielle took her first step. Yippeeeee!! She has been "pretend walking" on her knees for several weeks now and every once in a while she stands up for brief moments. Poor little princess is afraid of falling. Well tonight she took 3 steps!!!! She was so excited! I'm sure the weeks to come will be very interesting for Lil Miss Gabby.

Stay tuned....
