Happening Lately

 
  
 
 
  
  
  
 
 
 

We planted a "garden" of tomatoes, strawberries, and blueberries along with anuals and some potted herbs. It was a lot of fun to work on something together as a family and it's been refreshing to head outside first thing every morning to water with the kids. The weather has been beautiful so we've been spending lots of time out doors. Both kids could spend all day in their pool if we let them. We found a little side table at goodwill that is the perfect mini table for the kids. I painted it white and now we just have to find suitable chairs. They are happy using the lawn chairs for now and love sitting at the table together coloring. Gus has been reading non-stop lately. He has a little routine that's hard to turn down. He picks a book walks up to you holding it up  then when you sit down he scoots his little tush down on your lap, it's adorable. He's also trying so hard to talk. He has a lot to say and I can't wait to understand exactly what he's saying. Mabel started Ballet classes and is loving it. She is the most adorable ballerina.

Gus Theodore is 10 months old

Our favorite baby boy turned 10 months old today. Gus is the best. We're all having so much fun with him. Sam and I often find ourselves laughing at the cute things he did that day, at the end of the night. Mabel loves to say, "He's so cutie, Mama" and I couldn't agree more. 

 
 

His personality has blossomed and he's the sweetest boy. He's very sensitive and most of the time, very timid, until his sister riles him up. Gus has become a very fast crawler, if you turn your back for a moment, he's gone. He has said a few words like "Mama" (only when he is whinny), "Dada" all the time, "uh oh" and a very enthusiaastic "Hiiiiiii".  He is standing on his own but no steps yet. Mabel has been trying to teach him to walk and it's so fun to watch. I love the fact that he has a sibling he can look up to and learn from, even at such a young age.

 

I love this boy. His big blue eyes, those cheeks, and that smile are my favorite. This guy brings nothing but pure joy around here. I can't believe he will be 1 in two months. Time sure does fly.

 

Gus's first words. Dada. Of course.
