Brothers

It seems funny sometime to hear myself say…”C’mon Boys” Awww wow God has blessed me so!

Seth already looks up to Gabe and can Light up his face in a second as well as get a laugh from him!

Gabe is enjoying that Seth can now follow him and he wants so bad to have him truly play with him. He has being saying lately..”C’mon Sethy lets go play in the playroom”, I’m trying to get him to understand that he just can’t go with him just yet by himself!

Today when I took them to the doctor to try and stop this cold from setting in, I saw Gabe be protective of his little brother for the first time…After the Dr. checked Gabe’s breathing and was then checking Seth, Gabe leaned in very gently with the sweetest smile and put his arm around him and then started to pat his little head as if to say, “I’m here Seth it’s ok!” awwwwww

Seth is standing on his own for seconds upon seconds and can now hold one hand and walk a bit, he likes holding Gabe’s hand and mine while walking too! 

My little Blue eyed ;)

Seth has grown so much in the last few months and is doing so much more!  10 Months now and will be 11 months in just a few days!

He cruises all over the place and wants to walk, but I think he has figured out that he can follow bubba much faster by crawling, and let me tell you he would win a baby crawl! HA HA

He has his bottom right tooth half way in as well as his top left! Super cute and the top right is peeking thru as of yesterday!

He said mama first :) (probably because he hears Gabe say it ALL DAY LONG!) and says dada and now he has the cutest little wave and says bye bye!

He is still my smiley baby and so patient…he is totally a mama’s boy! Gabe, well he did love being in my arms, but was so much the child to go to anyone very easily (whuch was actually scarey sometimes)……NOT my Seth or Sethy as Gabe calls him! He will tuck his head in my shoulder and smile back at you, as if to say, “No thank you, I am just fine in my mommy's arms…I can see you just fine from here!” LOL

He is JOY and I no tears will be ROLLING when he turns 1!  

Excited!!!!!

I have started my classes to become a Kindermusik teacher!

Kindermusik is a wonderful way of learning and enhances the overall development of children thru music.  Music is POWERFUL in so many ways!!!! How awesome… ..my two passions, Children & Music!!

I will be taking the class online and will complete it in 15 weeks and then receive my license. ;)

I will be teaching a class to the 1 1/2 yr-3 yr olds accompanied with a parent and my friend Amy will have the 3-5 yr olds, and then my friend Sheri will be teaching sign language! The classes will be held at my church and we are looking at starting in January!

So when I have more details as to when the class will begin and what day and time, I will let you know. We would love to see your little one! :)

FALL & HALLOWEEN

Fall has been in the air and we are loving the weather! Absolutely beautiful!!!!

We took the boys to the Elgin Pumpkin patch with some friends of ours and I must say we were disappointed in the amount of pumpkins they had…they had more at our corner nursery!  The kids did have fun though with the hayride and sitting on the tractor and running around…..

The kids did have fun, but when we got back home, Todd and I headed to the Red Barn nursery for some Pumpkin pictures….

HALLOWEEN~

What FUN we had! Gabe has gone went back & fourth with what he wanted to be, but one day he looked at a party city magazine and pointed to the DR costume and said I want to be that! :) COOL!

He made the cutest DR ever!

Seth was a monkey and OOOOOOOH what a cute little monkey was he!

 

We went to a Halloween Party and Gabe had a blast playing with his friends, eating hotdogs, and having some sweets! Then it was off to go trick or treating in our neighborhood.

It was so neat to hear Gabe say Trick or Treat and to see his little face light up! He has changed so much in a year. It was so cute, because every time we got to a house, he would say you gonna come with me…he was a little hesitant, but had so much FUN!

9-23-09 Seth is 9 MONTHS

So Seth turned 9 months on the 23rd of September…I know for shame for shame on me for just now posting!!!! lol

What an amazing sweet little JOY he is! I took him to his 9 month check up on Monday and he now weighs 18lb 11 ounces and is in the 25%….our little man!

 

He is a crawling machine and pulls up to anything & everything! Now that he is on the move, OH Boy my days are very different! LOL Kinda hard to get much of anything done these days cause Gabe still has not gotten that fact that even when your hugging or trying to give Seth something he can’t let…he will fall. Sharing I thought Gabe was doing wonderfully at school and at church, but now that Seth wants EVERYTHING that Gabe has, well thats a little different. Were getting there though! :)

Besides crawling & pulling up Seth LOVES for you to hold his hands and walk with him! He just giggles and loves to chase Gabe, so cute! I made some mashed potatoes the other day and he was in Heaven! LOL He eats good except for the days when he is teething.He is sleeping good at night and wakes up sometimes at 5:00 to eat and occasionally at 3:00.

I can’t believe he will be 1 soon!!!

ABC’s & Moving & a’ Groovin –9-13-09

Sooooo Gabe has been saying the ABC’s for the past several weeks! Oh to hear his little voice sing that, what really gets me is when he sings Jesus Loves me & Twinkle Twinkle! He had  another great day on Thursday, he did cry again! ;( Oh  and a messy kinda funny thing is that on Tuesday he told me he pee peed on Mrs Tracy and on  her new shoes! I was like UH OH!!! So on Thursday I asked her about it…I told her he trys to be like daddy and hold it etc…. well she said OH he stands…well that explains it she was sitting him down! She said glad to know :) and we laughed! BUT that day when I picked him up….he had a new pair of shorts…the asst. teacher had sat him down as well! Poor teachers  - Mrs Tracy had not had a chance to tell her that Gabe stands. Needless to stay, a little late, BUT I told Gabe make sure you tell them you Stand to go pee pee!

 

Seth is CRAWLING!!! YIPEEEEEE! Oh boy as some of my friends say…my world is about to change! I remember this HUGE change with GAbe, but now Gabe’s world is about to change as well!  I told him earlier “Honey Seth is now on the move, so look out cause hes gonna get ya!” He laughed!!!! When Seth made the first few crawls on his knees…I cheered and he looked up at me and grinned!!!! OOOOOO I could eat him up!!!

Gabe’s first day of Pre-school

Well my SUGAR BEAR is officially growing up!!!! He has been talking about going to school and seemed excited about gong ever since we went to meet the teacher last week….however last night while reading our nightly stories and I began tucking him in bed…he said “Gabe not go to school” Oh no! This morning he was excited again…especially about his lunchbox! I had picked just a plain one up  with the intentions of going to cycle gear soon to get him one with a dirt bike….he saw his friend Jax’s over the weekend and I knew I needed to get that for his first day! He wanted to see what I packed…yes I drew a smiley face on the napkin, just as my mom did for me! I let him pick out his outfit, it was between plaid shorts with a blue surfer top and the rockstar…he chose the rock star! He did wonderfully…when we entered the room they had music playing and that really tucked on my heart strings and I could feel the tears welling up… I quickly focused on his little cubby and began telling him “This is where you will put your lunchbox when you come to school and then we put a name badge on him and they had the letter A waiting for him to paint! Those teachers ROCK…he was ready to go! I gave him kisses, said have fun and I’ll see you later! I went to a very brief parent meeting and then hung around a bit to sneak a few peaks! Yes their were other moms doing the same. :) I was totally bummed because my camera started acting waco and jammed up! When I picked him up he I peaked in and saw him doing puzzles…awwww he was sooo sweet! His teacher told me that during the day he cried and began getting tired…awww my sweet baby I mean BIG BOY! Anyway when he saw me he was excited…as we walked to the car he said “Gabe criiiiiiied at schoooool today. Then he began talking about clouds and playtime, oh and his lunch! Hee hee

I know he will have a great time and I will eventually get into a groove….just weird being so quiet!
