A Birthday Sunday

Today we get to celebrate two birthdays in our family--we celebrated my dad's at lunch and are celebrating Auntie Heidi's tonight. And this past Tuesday we went out for Auntie Em's birthday and celebrated Joe's mom's birthday last Saturday. January is a busy month for birthdays for our family!

Greta just chillin' before heading to my dad and Joyce's today...

Gibs likes to try to ride Elvis like a horse, however, Elvis does not appreciate that. Shocking, I know:). This morning Elvis was eating when Gibs got the idea to ride on his back so Elv felt trapped--hated that there was a little boy riding on him, yet wanted to fnish his breakfast. Gibs also was kind enough today to take Panda for a ride too:). Gibs is just a funny kid and always makes us laugh with is silly things he does and creative ideas he has:).

Em found Layla's sweater for 99 cents at a used clothing sale the other week and it happens to be the same as one that Layla had when she was little that Greta can now wear. Amazingly, they both smiled nicely for a quick pic before heading to my dad and Joyce's today.

Gibs joined in for a pic too but he needs to work on looking a little more at the camera when saying "cheese". Although I'm just happy he's smiling for once on a picture:). In typical Greta fashion, she fell asleep. She still is such a sleepy little girl! It works out great while we're out b/c she never wakes up during outings. Might as well enjoy that while it lasts:). She was 8 weeks on Friday and finally did her first 8 hour stretch at night. Last night was 7 (normally she does 6, maybe 7 and definitely does better when she goes to bed around 8 or 9 vs 10 or 11), so I'm hoping she continues to have some more 8s coming up (well, or more than 8 would be even better:D). Having a third kid is definitely exhausting, so it'll be great when she sleeps through the night!
