Family Pics!

So these are a couple months old but I keep forgetting to put them up! My Lauren was gracious enough to take the pictures for us, which we are so thankful for (professional ones are just not in the budget right now, besides hers look professional enough for me!) I think she has done pretty much all of our family ones thus far so why stop :-) Thanks again Lauren you are truly like a sister to me and I'm so blessed with your friendship!!!

I've been contemplating...

a double stroller but who needs one when I've got this....

I was going to take the kids for a walk this afternoon and Gabe decided he wanted to take his bike so I stepped inside to grab it and turned around to see this. As much as he wanted to, I didn't let him go on the walk like this.

For me...

it doesn't get any cuter than these two!

My favorite outfit...white polo, jeans and flip flops, he looks like such a little man!

Seriously...crawling already!

Well it's true..Hannah is now mobile, I just can't believe we are already to this stage! She started the army crawl 3-4 weeks ago and has moved on to the on all fours crawling. And truth be told I'm not a huge fan of the crawling stage, mainly because of my own issues, I'm a germaphobe and everything is in the mouth and floors just seem dirty. Thanks to my husband though my floors are as clean as they are going to get, he bought me a steam mop awhile ago and I love it!! I have been trying to upload video's for awhile now and I'm not quite sure what the issue is ( I never used to have a problem) but as soon as I figure it out I'll post one of the crawling!

Hannah 8 months

• Crawling
• Can go from laying down to sitting up
• Has used her crib, table, toys to pull herself up into standing position (doesn't stay up for very long yet)
  
• waves to herself (so cute, she actually started this at 7 months but she's doing it more often now)
• Sleeps with Mommy most of the night
• Still makes mostly vowel sounds but have heard an occasional m and h sound (just not often)
• Definitely biased but I think she has the best smile and she definitely spends most of her day showing it to me
• Plays with Gabe more
  
• Not a picky eater so far!
  

Gabe is doing good as well, he is starting to eat more fruits and veggies (he loves all our fresh organic fruits and veggies!!!) but still loves his smoothies and it's a great way to get those veggies that he doesn't really care for in there such as kale. He is POTTY TRAINED!!! we still do a diaper at night which we probably could switch to underwear, he usually wakes up dry and has woke us in the middle of the night to go potty, but not ready to risk the chance of having to get up in the middle of the night to change bedding so we'll probably wait until Hannah is sleeping better. Gabe has started to say "I want" and has added a few more words to his vocab like me, hide, banana, and fast. It's been a slow progression but I feel like in 2 weeks he has made more progress than in the past 7 months!
