Recently, Gideon has been lifting up his head and chest higher and more frequently. When he wakes up and I walk into his room I often see his forehead and sometimes his eyes peeking over the top of the crib. Once he sees me, he smiles and buries his head in the sheet and then looks up again. It is so fun to see that he is excited to see me :)Stephan usually calls on his way home from work and then I tell Briella daddy is coming home. We used to go by the window and watch for him, wave when he drove up, etc. Well, today she took her favorite 'baby' over to the window, held the dolls head up to the window and says "see daddy, daddy, see daddy, yea, daddy home, see daddy." He wasn't there, but it sure was cute to see!
At least a month ago, Briella and Gideon were playing in the toy room and I was around the house doing other things. It was quiet for awhile and I was starting to think I better check on them (for Gideon's safety) and as I start heading to the toy room I hear "mommy, mommy, mommy" in a rather cheerful, accomplished tone. Looking around the corner, Briella's proud moment left Gideon's outfit unsnapped from head to toe and one tab of his diaper loosened . . . we could have been moments away from a urine emergency, but mommy to the rescue and no emergency, phew.
Our little man is 6 months old and starting to roll and scoot all over. He is looking pretty determined to crawl, but we'll see!
Briella loves to give hugs and kisses, sometimes she gets a little (or a lot) aggressive. In the last week, we've both caught her giving Gideon zerberts (tummy kisses) when we set him down. Today I couldn't resist asking her for a repeat performance for you to enjoy :)
Our little girl is two years old! She is so much fun to have around. I love the way she says "wuv you" and gives Gideon kisses. It warms my heart to hear her say "Hi buddy, Hi Giddya" and see her make him smile. She is the best mommy to her dolls and is generous with her hugs.
All 7 grandkids on the P. side :) I snapped at least 10 shots and this is the only one with all 7 faces visible and no fingers in one boy's nose . . .
