Our Smiley Guy

He's smiling!! He is so handsome and BIG! When I look at him I think he's more like 6 months instead of almost 2. He still is a pretty sleepy guy and went on a 9 hour stint last night!!! He is getting strong and loves to lift his head up when we are holding him or on his tummy. He also loves to sit up and look around. We may need to get him a bumbo soon. He started day care two days a week. It seems strange dropping him off in the baby room, since the girls were home until they were one, but he did great...I mean he slept most of the time :)Getting ready for football season to start. Thanks to Nana and Papa's chair they got him.Bella wanted to have a tea party after he was born.And showing off their muscles. Both girls are fantastic big sisters.Bella started Private Kindergarten a few weeks ago. This was on her first day. She is doing great with her numbers, patterns, comprehension and of course all her art she comes home with every day. Last week they started homework...she is so excited and did all her homework the first night.She and Gabby sleep with so many animals. The other night she had them lined up on both sides.The girls have started dance class at school and can't wait for their recital in December. They both keep saying that Santa is making their costumes!

Gabby loves her little brother and makes sure he always has toys. He is starting to grab his rings and toys. He loves lights and the blinds. He stares at the blinds when we hold him on the couch.

Gabby is still our funny girl. She talks so much sometimes you can tell her mind is going faster than her mouth. She is super cute and always tells Joel and Jeremiah that he is her "best buddy". She also has been saying "yeah uh-huh" or she'll start this elaborate story and at the end say "and I'm not lying that really happened, yeah, uh-huh". She keeps us on our toes. She has an answer for everything. She has been staying home with Jeremiah and I on Tuesday and Thursday. She loves to do crafts...especially if she gets to use glue or cut paper. She can't wait to start soccer.
