St. Patty and Mickey

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! It's such a beautiful day today! Both kids are napping now, but we should go for a walk to enjoy the day once they're up. Gibson is now on a four hour eating schedule during the day which is nice. He was starting to not finish his bottles (5 oz), so now that he's eating every four hours instead of three, he is hungrier. I know, obviously that makes sense:-). And last night he did one seven hour stretch and then a six hour stretch--so not too bad! Hopefully that means sleeping all night is coming soon!! His tummy also seemed better yesterday, he did really well with his feedings. Not sure why, but I'm happy he seemed to feel better! That might have helped him sleep a little better--otherwise he often wakes up full of spit up or needing to get some burps out. He's starting to have more awake time during the day and making more noises and smiling more. It's amazing how much I've forgotten about this baby stage:-). It all seems new again! Ok, enough rambling, here are some pics!

Layla loves watching him and talking to him. When he starts "talking" now she'll sometime come over to him and say "hi". One of the noises he makes always sounds like he's saying "hhhiiii":-). This morning he started cooing and she laughed and then gave me this look like, 'Aw, he's cute isn't he, Mom?' :-).


I'm getting braver with my outings with both kids so Monday morning we went to Target, Carters and Meijers (ok, so we just went through the pharmacy drive thru at Meijers). But getting all three of us ready in the morning and running errands all in between his feedings (and since we don't live very close) doesn't allow too much time for perusing the isles at Target! Anyway, at Carters they had 3 month girl St. Patty's Day shirts on sale and 18 month boy shirts--exactly the opposite of what I need! I didn't think Gibs would enjoy wearing pink on his shirt, so he is just wearing green and Layla is wearing the shirt I thought that Gibson might be able to wear next year. It's boyish, but I'm pretty sure you can still tell that she's a girl:-).

I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I thought I'd just post them both:-). Gibson had just eaten, so he wasn't so into the picture.

While cousin Gavin was in Disney World last week, the kids thought they'd wear their Mickey/Minnie pj's since they couldn't be there with him. You can't tell, but Elv's collar is Disney:-).

Never too young for Mickey ears!

Gibson just found out that the Disney Store (where Grandma got his sleeper) is no longer in Rivertown:-(. It really is sad to me that it went out of business. Layla loved going there. Poor Gibson I think only got to go there once before it closed.

Not wanting to keep the ears on...
