Playing nicely together...
Still playing nice, but about a second later Layla was not so happy since he pulled a large wad of her hair out. He seriously can grab so many strands out and the poor girl doesn't have very many to begin with!
Buddies...
Once a month we've been going to a moms group at a nearby church. I thought it'd be cute to take a pic of them this fall and then compare the pic to this spring and see how much they've changed--too bad I ran out of time to take the pic before we left (we have to leave the house a little after 9! That's tough for us!) and then Gibs fell asleep on the way home (since he misses his nap when we're there) so he was sleeping in his carseat during the picture. Maybe next time:). The MOMS thing (it used to be MOPS but they changed it this year) has been good. Gibs goes to a baby room and Layla goes to the 2s room where she just plays and snacks and I get to have coffee and breakfast and then listen to a speaker.
Enjoying the nice fall temps (well, until this week)...
Talking to her brother...
I thought this was cute from one morning a few weeks ago. I love his froggy jammies and her frizzy morning hair:)...
We had Auntie Heidi take some pics a couple of Sundays ago to start trying to get a good one for our Christmas card. Sundays work well b/c we normally see family for lunch and we're dressed up, however, they don't work great b/c Gibs is getting hungry and has missed his morning nap.
I need to try harder to get one of the kids where they're both smiling...this was the start of Gibs' cold:(. I sent him to nursery that morning and then noticed his nose was snotty that afternoon. They both seem to pick up colds from nursery everytime they're in there and I normally am good about keeping them home if they're sick at all, but I didn't even notice his snotty nose in the morning. Oops! Hopefully he didn't get anybody sick!
Not into the picture:)...
This was the second best one. We'll probably use the other one b/c we'll probably never get around to trying to get a better one, so in case I use that one, I'll let you be surprised when you get your card what it looks like:). Gibs wasn't smiling on any of them:(.
I thought his hand on her shoulder was precious:)...
Layla enjoys feeding him...most the time it is helpful:)...
Gibs has discovered our pots and pans drawer. That's such a typical baby thing to want to bang pans together, but Layla was really good about never going in cupboards she wasn't allowed in. Gibs knows exactly what things are naughty and goes for them, although he's getting better with some things and does listen to "no", you just need to remind him 1 minute later:).
This was when Gavin was over the other night. Gibs is actually smiling in this pic too, too bad he's blurry:(...
Joe was really enjoying playing princess games with Layla:). She's been really liking the princesses lately and Tinkerbell. I LOVE all things Disney so I hope that this sticks:).
Gibs is so different from what Layla was like in the bathtub when she was a baby. She loved baths too, but she didn't like to be on her tummy or tip over. He could care less if he falls over and is always pulling up on the spout which is dangerous and moving all around on his belly. It's like he tries to swim:). They typically bathe together so Gibs was enjoying all the extra space the other day without his big sis:)...
I've been liking some of the cool fall days we've had--although many have been too hot for my taste and now have been too windy or rainy. I like going for walks, but only when the weather cooperates:)...
Gibs playing with his friend Maddy...
He figured out how to make Elmo play...fun for him, loud for me:)...
He had a fever the middle of last week and was sleeping tons and grumpy when he was awake. Over the weekend he was still grumpy and would wake up earlier than normal in the morning (around 7) and cry which is very unlike him. Normally he wakes up "talking". So Monday I decided to bring him in to get his ears checked and he had a double ear infection:(. She said one of his ears was getting better--it probably had been worse over the weekend--but his other one was still bad enough that she prescribed an antibiotic. He was already a little better on Monday and by Tuesday was basically back to his usual self. This was his typical face during his sick week...
When I didn't realize he was sick I tried to get a pic of them two of them. He was NOT having it. I seriously got nothing even the least bit cute. We quickly went back inside!
I love his happy face, but sometimes his sad little face is so pitiful it's cute to me:)...
They were playing quite the duet today and Layla was singing along. She sings such funny things. Most of it she makes up about things she did..."I washed my handsssss! I brushed my teeeth" or tonight was "I jumped off my stoooolllllll". It's so funny the things she thinks of:). She also loves to tell Gibson what she is doing as if he can understand her:).
Typical little bro laughing as he's tormenting his big sis:)...
And Gibs is out...
This started as a wave for Gibson and then he got distracted by the ceiling:)...
