Gideon is 3 months!!!!!










Time has been flying by, and, I'm starting to feel the guilt that I haven't been taking as many pictures of Gideon as I should have been. I think I must have 10 pictures of Abigail to every 1 of Gideon :-(. I need to change this! My goal from here on out is to get a picture of both kids at least every week...though, I'll shoot for every day, haha.

Abigail is fascinated with hats, and, you'll see in the first couple of pictures that she was really enjoying herself a couple of days ago. She kept putting it on and taking it off. She does the same thing with her princess crown and bows, but, she has a hard time getting the bows back in, haha. Often times, she'll take her bows out of her hair just so that she can look at them. She then becomes frustrated because she can't get it back in. She'll also take it out just so that she can chew on it, haha....I don't like that very much :-P. Not because I make the majority of them...but...it's not a very good idea to let a 20 month old chew on her bows, hehe.

We've also been potty training....kind of sort of. I'm not really focusing on it too much, just getting her used to the idea of undies and what the potty is. She does go every now and then, and, boy does she love her Elmo undies! But, I can only handle 1-2 accidents a day. I don't think our carpet can take much more than that, haha. This weekend, I was thinking of experimenting with the 3 day, so, we shall see how that goes. I'm sure it'll be humorous if anything. And, if you are wondering what the brown stuff on her face is....it's m&m's. She now expects to get some when she walks into the bathroom, haha. It's difficult teaching her that she'll only get them if she goes potty. And boy, the tantrums that I get as a result to those explanations, haha...

Today, I wanted to get a picture of BOTH Abigail and Gideon, and, Abigail was very pleased that she was able to hold her baby brother. "Elmo in Grouchland" just so happened to be playing in the background, so, please excuse the fact that she is gazing off into the distance.

Let's see, what is little boy Gideon doing? He has the sweetest smile that melts anyone's heart. His newborn cry has started to disappear :-(. I just can't get past the fact that he is leaving the newborn stage to because a full blown infant, haha. He also loves to be in his bouncy seat so he can kick his feet. He'll actually fuss sometimes until you put him in there, and, all of the sudden he's all smiles and kicking away. I'm starting to get teary eyed just typing this, because, I know soon enough I'm going to have two kids in Elementary school with friends and preferences. Then, I'm going to be the embarrassing mom that they want to stay in the car. Sigh...is anyone ever going to invent the permanent baby????
