I've been trying to get a good picture of Gideon, but, I have to say...he's pretty good at just being a blob, hehe. An adorable one....but, nothing more nothing less. It's probably because I'm not very good at doing tummy time. I rarely did it with Abigail, and, it's even rarer for Gideon. I know that it's important, but, delayed mobility isn't necessarily a bad thing in my eyes...especially when I'm pulling a 21 old off of the tv stand, table, high chair, etc. multiple times a day. I attempted to get a good picture while Christian was holding him, but, CHRISTIAN refused to cooperate. Silly silly man. Oh well, I'll get one soon!!

Abigail LOVES LOVES LOVES stickers. One day, while she was playing with them, I started sticking them on her face and head. She now thinks that is where they go. She found a page of stickers in her coloring drawer, and, one by one she was placing them on her face and in her hair. She then tried to put them back on the page, and, in the process tore Zoe's head off (these are Sesame Street stickers, by the way....). Zoe's head then accidentally ended up on Cookie Monster's tummy, which then resulted in an upset toddler screaming "CA CA, CA CA" (cookie monster). Unfortunately, it took Christian and I a few minutes to figure out what was going on, but, hey....we got a great picture of her with all the stickers, hehe.

I've been testing Gideon out in the bumbo, and, he likes it for a little while. After a few minutes he's ready to be held, hehe. It's nice to be able to put him down somewhere that he can still look around. Abigail was around 3 months when she first used it, too!!! I think she had better head support though. I also took a couple of shots during his bath, last night. He LOVES the bath. At least I think he does. He pretty much just sits there and relaxes, hehe. If he's not screaming, he must be enjoying it, right??? He did NOT like the after bath routine. I always feel so bad putting cold lotion on Abigail and Gideon right after they've had a soothing warm bath. He was a happy camper when we finally got the jammies on, though!!

Today I was sent home from work early when Abigail's teachers discovered that she had a fever :-(. They said that her temperature was 102. I started crying when they told me. Abigail had a febrile seizure the last time she had a fever, and, I was traumatized by it. I didn't realize that her getting another fever would immediately trigger those emotions and memories . I know that it's not uncommon, but, just remembering the events of that day was upsetting. We came home and I immediately placed her in a lukewarm bath and gave her tylenol (generic due to the recall, ugh!). She's been a happy girl all day, but, definitely needing her rest.

When Christian came home from work, he was trying to work out, and, Abigail thought that it would be fun to sit on his back while he was doing push ups. She had a blast and was giggling the entire time. Poor Christian....he had an extra 20 lbs of weight on his arms, haha. I then tried to et my daily picture of Gideon, and, Abigail decided she wanted to join in on the fun. She decided that she would give her baby brother a feverish kiss...whoops. Here's to hoping that he doesn't come down with anything.

I LOVE THESE PICTURES!!! They are SO great!! Hope Abby is feeling better! Her and Gideon really do look alike now. It's funny. What's his nickname going to be?
