. . . in pulling your socks off, but it's Gabe's newest game. Also in Gabriel's recent accomplishments, inch worming his way around the house (yes, he's mobile!), pulling himself around places while sitting up (he can go pretty far), and clapping. If you can't tell by now, he is a genius! (Non-partial opinion of course!)
He is enjoying his food still, getting more into finger foods, and pretty much still eating or sleeping all day long - more eating than sleeping. We've been fighting some congestion since early December, and it's made for much shorter naps, occasionally leading to a rather grumpy Gabriel by afternoon/evening.
My latest trick to get things done around the house is putting Gabriel in a laundry basket with a few toys and sliding him from room to room as I make beds, put clothes away, and tidy up. He likes the ride. :)
Callie (is also a genius!) can identify most uppercase letters in the alphabet, even out of order. She still loves her animals, of course, and is excited about her birthday in a little over a month. When I first asked her what she wanted her birthday party theme, she replied, "Hats." As the ideas ran through my head, I thought maybe she didn't understand the question. I said, "You want everyone to wear different hats to your birthday party and have hat decorations and a cake that looks like a hat?" She looked at me like, "What?" And so I gave her other party themes, like horses, or Princesses, or Elmo . . . "ELMO!" So, I'm thinking we're doing Elmo, because that's been her answer ever since then. Let the planning begin! :)
In other news, well Callie and Gabriel's parents are still here! We haven't had any great accomplishments or anything, but we've been having fun watching our children learn and grow! It's hard to believe I'm planning Callie's 3rd birthday party! And Gabe's 1st is right around the corner! Crazy!
Hope you are having a great week! God bless you and yours as you wrap up this week! :)
