Why Hello!

Now that Gabe is EXCELLENT at rolling over he will get onto his stomach and look out into the bedroom. So now we will look over at his bed and this is what we see. Two big blue eyes watching us...creepy.

A "Zoo-per" Ending To a Great Weekend!

Today we woke up a little late and missed church. So instead, we decided to go to the zoo since it was such a beautiful day. We got lucky because it was the perfect mixture of cool breeze and sunshine. And the animals at the zoo seemed to like it too-they were all very active.


We had a great weekend with the kids. And of course, we talked a lot about next weekend when we make the EIGHT HOUR drive to Montana to spend Easter with Ryan's family. Ryan's brother has never met Gabe, Linda hasn't seen him since Thanksgiving, and Scott hasn't seen him since he was about 4 weeks old. I can only hope they are as excited to see us as we are to see them. MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL!

Parks & Rec

Today we went to Veterans Memorial Park in West Jordan. It was the nicest day we have had so far this year and we decided to take the kids to the park. The playground at this park is the most amazing park and Sera loves it so much. There is so much for her to play with and she runs until she drops.

I tooks lots of pictures and these are some of my favorites. This is one of Ryan pushing Gabe in the swing.


And Ryan was kind enough to snap this one of Gabe and I. I think Ryan and I were having more fun with the swing than Gabe was. He just seemed cold and would occasionally crack a tiny smile because we were dancing around like idiots trying to entertain him.

And here is a close up of Gabe-zilla having his first ride in a swing.

And finally this is such an AMAZING picture of Sera! I wish I could take the credit but Ryan was the one to get this. And it was hard because when Sera knows she is on camera she will act cheesey and silly. So he spent quite some time secretly snapping pictures and caught her here having so much fun! And honestly, this is one of my most favorite pictures of Sera EVER!

It was such a nice day and I am glad the weather is starting to get better so that we can have more days just like this.

A Review

This week has been such a busy week. Both Ryan and Gabe were sick and so I was busy taking care of them. And yes, both are better now. I am not going to write much here because honestly, other than 2 sick boys, nothing too exciting has really happened.

This first picture is from yesterday when we gave Gabe his first bath in the kitchen sink. The first time he splashed the water with his hand he stopped, looked at his hand, and started to splash all the water from the sink. The floor was one GIANT puddle by the time we finished the bath.



This one shows just how flexible this little man is. And he loves eating his feet. I am not sure why babies love this but I am sure glad that they do because it makes for adorable pictures!!!




And finally this picture shows just how good Gabe is at sitting up. We have been really working with him so that by the time we headed to Montana for Easter he would be able to sit up on his own. This picture makes me oh so proud of him!

BEEF! It's What's For Dinner!

Don't worry! We were being really careful about any chunks that he might accidentally swallow. And we only let him drink about a half a beer and it was LIGHT BEER! Too many carbs make him gassy.

Suckiest Bunch of Sucks That Ever Sucked

Notice anything about Gabe's right eye? Does it looks a little puffy or PINK to you? IT DOES?!?! Well that must mean Gabe got Pink Eye. And the title of this post represents how I feel about the last few days I have spent taking care of my sick baby boy. So now you know why I have not posted almost all this week. Gabe got sick on Wednesday afternoon at daycare and by the time I got home from work, he was sitting on the couch with his Dad and his right eye was almost swollen shut. Funny thing was he was still smiling and laughing.

So Thursday Ryan stayed home with him and took him to the doctor where he was given this gel that we have to rub into his eye. Let me tell you how much he doesn't love that. He screams and jerks his head like he just licked an electrical outlet.

And his mood only got worse over the next couple days. Friday my Mom and sister helped me out by watching him while I went to work for a few hours. But the rest of the night he was cranky and miserable. Saturday was just more of the same. I know he is also teething and so this does not help his mood any. I will say this though, my Little Bird will always feel well enough to eat no matter how poorly he feels.

Today has been much better though. His eye is still a little goopy but his mood has improved so much. He is still pretty sleepy and gets a little fussy as well but I can tell he is feeling better. This is good because if he hadn't stopped crying soon I was going to give him to the Goblin King. (JUST KIDDING!)

Smells Fresh

Feeling fresh and clean Gabe decided to eat his foot and look really cute while doing it.
