Our Life Lately, According to My iPhone Pictures

Our little Theo finally arrived! Got to go see him and proud parents Luke & Diana!

Gibson is eating like a crazy man! Meat too! I can't chop fast enough when its lunch time so I have to get these made up for him. 

Getting the letters together for my office redo. New pics coming soon!

My halloween mask! Chris picked it out.  Fun huh? We are masquerade people...or whatever you call it :)

Christian and his best friend Kylin on the seesaw.  They had so much fun at this birthday party.

The boys at Target.  G would NOT sit down.  Our little daredevil.  Christian told him repeatedly that standing was, Not Ok!

Our Parrot and Pirate.  I love these boys!

Taking a swimming break to swing with Kylin.

On the way to a Fall Festival and riding in his new big boy seat. 

I actually got to get ready this day- needed to be documented! :) hahaha! On the way to plan a baby shower. 

Amazing I cut this hair like 3 weeks ago.  Bath time fun with the fish Grandma sent him!

Our new favorite hobby is feeding the ducks.  Christian thinks its our responsibility now.  Every time we go to the grocery store he insists we get a bag of bread for the ducks because they are hungry.

Lunch date with Eva.

Eva at the park. We found out slides make great changing tables in a pinch. 

My shopping buddies.

Early Christmas present from my amazing parents!! BOB jogging stroller!

Our friend Travis with Gibson and a butterfly princess at the festival.

Christian before I got his new pants. :) These are 3T and WAY short.  He has grown 3 inches in the last 4 months.

Kids for Sale! Make an offer!

Chrissy and Liam the Cookie Monster at the Fall Festival

Pumpkin Patch fun

Our Adorable Boy

Tell me this is not hilarious! This is the new bottle we got Gibson to "try" and convince him that he should drink from a bottle.  Yeah...that's not going so well :)

Trying on helmets.  He says Santa is bringing him a bike for Christmas so I guess he's preparing. 

In his new carseat.  He was being silly and refusing to open his eyes. 

Eating a little lunch.

Relaxing in the super comfortable BOB!

Parrot and Daddy.  Love those two little teeth.  He has another coming in on top. 

 

 

 

My favorite people.

Overalls

We finally feel better! Thought we'd document this momentous occasion by getting out of our pjs and actually getting dressed...in matching outfits no less. :) I figure I better do this as much as I want now, they are getting big so fast they will probably protest soon.

Gibson!!!!

Six days away from being 10 Months old, Gibson took his first steps today!!

Rainy days

Taking it easy today after a crazy Wednesday. Following this little guy wherever he wants to go.

For Mimi

Here you go granny Mimi. (Ha ha ha!)

Gibson Crawls

Gibson took off today and he hasn't looked back. Christian is not amused. Not in the slightest.

What's New

Christian is getting so big.  Here he is wearing 3T clothing! Ahhhh! I do not even know what to say about that.  He is constantly growing.  Sunday was one of those days when I discover that he is growing out of everything.  Shoes? Too small.  Jeans I tried to put on him? Too small.  He is also saying new things I didn't even know he knew.  Like, "Delicious!"  Sounds something like, Deeelishhh US!  So funny.  He's also obsessed with Matman...or Batman as you know him.  Not really sure how the marketing found him, but wow they did a good job.  He is loving Batman.  He asks to see him everyday.  Oh and go to his home.  That's another thing he is big on.  Home.  He asks where peoples homes are, and tells me when he wants to go home.  Its really sweet. 

Still the picky eater, he mostly consumes broccoli, plain white rice (we are working on whole grain), pizza, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, grapes, french fries, crackers, grilled cheese (only if I make it, not from a restaurant), and popcorn.  Oh and tortillas.  Lots of tortillas.  He still refuses most meats, but will eat shrimp and crab (!). 

Gibson has a tooth poking through! Just a tiny bit, but enough for him to eat this pickle! He loves pickles by the way and has eaten three since Saturday.  We thought we were going to get a funny face out of him, but he just loved it.  I am slowly getting Sunny to eat more food and he seems to like the strawberry yogurt I've been giving him and ate an entire jar of sweet potatoes! He is eating crackers and these pinwheel things that Christian use to love. 

I think he will crawl very soon.  He has been so close the last two days.  I'm excited and equally afraid.  There are so many things I need to put up.  I keep telling myself that I should just do it now before he is on the move, but I know I'll spend a crazy afternoon crawling all over the floor trying to baby proof while he crawls behind me. 

Oh and here is the only way Gibson will take a bottle.  He likes these tiny newborn 2 ounce bottles and he has to feed it to himself.  If you touch it, or try to help, he screeches at you like crazy.  Goodness this one is a stinker.  :)

Chris and I are good.  We got to go on a date last Friday and it was wonderful! We went to dinner and a movie.  I hadn't been to an actual movie theatre in a year.  I fell asleep. :)

Chris is doing great and really likes his new job.  It is keeping him busy and he went on a business trip a few weeks ago.  Only to Florida thank goodness.  We aren't wanting to part with him for too long just yet.  (My friends husband just got back from Amsterdam) The boys were pretty good when he was gone but we sure did miss him. 

I can't believe it is almost August.  What in the world?! This month we have a comedy show (Jim Gaffigan), a baby shower (I'm doing the decorations), a guys trip to North Carolina (I tried to get Chris to take Christian and Gibson...they are guys too! but he said No Way), and who knows what else these little people have in store for me. 

Love, Nicole
