A quick Update on the Boys

Hey Everybody!

Seth is now 8 months old and has not crawled, but scoots around on his bottom a bit and pushes back on his belly... the other day I came in the living room and didn't see him on his blanket, my heart dropped a little...I was like WHERE DID HE GO? (I remember doing that same thing with Gabe) His face was looking up at me...he had scooted backwards on his belly and his body was under the end table with his head looking up at me with a grin, "Like see what I can do"? hee hee!!! He has pulled up a few times and can stand holding on to something, but once he leans hes down! Oh but how EXCITED he is too be up on his feet! He so wants to play with Gabe and wants his toys...forget these baby toys lets move onto the Cars & Trucks! He has been saying ba ba for a while, but he says ma ma quite a bit and at first I thought he was just babling, but he looks at me when I come in the room and says it to me!!!! I love it...he said mama before dada...WOW! I think this is because he hears Gabe all the time! :) He does say dada too! :)

I can't believe Gabe will be 3 in December, just right around the corner! He will be starting pre-school (mothers dayout) soon and he is excited about that! I took him to the Dentist a few days ago because I noticed something on his tongue...he has geographic tongue....this is where your taste buds come off in clumps or patches...it can burn, itch, or be hot! You are born with it is not something you catch! This explains why he has been messing with his tongue and putting things in his mouth. But his Second year molar is coming in on the bottom left which is also why he wants things in his mouth! Hopefully he will grow out of it and it will not cause him too much pain or aggravation as he gets older.

Gabe and his “Good” Marbles

Being a good boy is a pretty big deal in our house lately….seems the “Terrible Twos” are in full throttle at our house! There have a been a few times, when I was saying to myself “ Uh where did my child go, has anyone seen him?” LOL  He earned 5 marbles and had been wanting a little people bus, or truck, so off to Target we went! Now obviously I can not by a $10.00 item every time he gets 5 marbles, but this time I made an exception. Next time he will be picking from his goody coupons! ;)

Jacob & Zach~ Summer Visit

Well the boys left last Saturday…they were only here for 4 weeks this year and that went by really fast! It had been since Christmas that we had seen Jacob, because he was in DC  during Spring Break and I can’t get over how much he is changing…he is not the “little bitty boy” I met so long ago! He is taller than me and his voice has changed!!!! He was a great help with Gabe, playing with him while I fed Seth or took a shower…that was really a treat for me! I watched a video of Zach from when we lived in FL (which he loved) and aww it just made my heart warm and made me miss them being little, what a ball of energy Zach was (still is at times) and he has some great dance moves! They are god boys and I’m grateful to have them in my life! ;) Gabe sure enjoyed having them here…his world definitely changed. He wanted to be just like his BIG brothers :) He has also been  Mr. Repeat & repeat lately, which was sometimes a good thing and sometimes a not so good thing. There were some moments that Gabe was bouncing off the walls with all the excitement of having his brothers here. My house was louder with all the boys playing and chasing Gabe around, Gabe LOVED it! Of course my house is still loud even with the boys gone…but that quietness still feel down upon us as always when they leave…makes us a little sad. Todd had to work pretty much the whole time, which is good cause we need the work, but I know he wanted to spend more time with them. Next year they will be here for the normal 6 weeks and looks like Jake may be staying longer since he missed Spring Break and will be making up the 2 weeks he missed this Summer! Zach is usually ready to go home sooner than Jake anyway and this will give them a break from each other….they need it! Hopefully they had good time… they did some skiing & kayaking which cooled them off a little in this brutal TEXAS HEAT!!!!  We miss them already and look forward to spending Christmas with them!
