Sentences

Lately Gabe has really started to use sentences rather that just  a word or 2.

Here are some of Gabe's newest sentences:

(stops dead in his tracks, and puts hand behind ear) You hear that?
(waves me over) Come on Mommy I show you.
Mommy look what I got!

I just cant get over the fact that he uses sentences and the little hand gestures that go with them just tickle me :)

More stuff thats been going on

I went to see Harry Potter with my mom. I had already seen it but I always go see them with her. We needed a girls date :D

Gabe is 2-1/2 I truly can't believe its already here. My boy is getting so big.

Gabe knows his alphabet. He doesn't like to do it all in a row the other day in the car he was going from O-Z over and over again I thought it was really funny because he doesn't want to do the first half. He can count to 20 with a little bit of help some of the teens confuse him. and he can recognize 1-10 :)

Being Silly

I thought I would just post some pics of Gabe & I being Silly together on Thursday. He likes to play with the camera just as much as his mommy does.

Yea we are silly deal with it. :P

A little catching up to do

Lets jump right into things. On the second I had to go to the dentist and have a filling yes that's right I had a cavity but I will have you know that it was my FIRST ONE like ever, I was disappointed but I guess I did make it 22 years without one so I did pretty good. It is sad however to not be able to say I have never had one. Oh well I guess things change.

This week it dawned on Patrick that deer season is right around the corner. He has been trying to get ready like crazy I guess he thinks he has to get everything ready all at once. So the other day we went to bass pro and got him some new arrows and he got Shawn a new bow, the two of them have been having a great time practicing. Then Patrick decided it would be nice if he could have a new bow. I don't remember who gave him the idea but on to craigslist he goes...anybody out there have a Hoyt bow...yada yada yada, and sure enough he found someone. So last night Patrick, Gabe and I went to Jeff City, we took the Glock and the trade began, a little chit chat and a shoot of an arrow and we are good. So now he has a new toy. Of course the first thing he does is switch over his sights and all the important stuff. No time to waist lol. You would think deer season started tomorrow. Any way first thing this morning hes out shooting his bow. It's so funny how excited he gets but I'm glad hes having a good time.


Today I am at the apartments just like I am about every Tuesday this summer. Its a pretty slow day we just have one apartment that we have to get ready, no big deal.

So here I am sitting at the desk when I realized that school stars back in a week. I am so not ready to go back I have been enjoying my break. I guess I will just have to suck it up. I hope Marketing isn't a hard class I guess we will just have to see what happens the first day to get an idea but I really don't like waiting for things like that.


What is going on in the world of Gabe. Well I bought him some bat man toothbrushes which he seems to love I gave one to Sean and one stays at the house. He is learning how to brush, he isn't very good but he does what he sees me do but heaven forbid if I try to help him brush a different side of his tooth or something. Mr. Independent lives at my house.

I have switched him to pull-ups. I am hoping that being in pull-ups will make it clearer to him that he needs to poop in the potty. I am struggling trying to get him to switch over to the potty it would be nice to switch to Underwear soon. I want potty training to be done. Pretty Please.

I stayed home with Gabe on the 11th. Sean & Cristy went to the Doctor to find out if their baby is a boy or a girl, and let me tell you Gabe wouldn't be thrilled sitting at the hospital all day. Anyway we had a nice day together, just the two of us. Oh and I bought Gabe new shades :D


When Sean & Cristy were done Gabe went over to find out if he was going to have a brother or a sister. Which is still confusing to him I don't think he quite understands the concept of "or" so he tells me brother or sister all the time so now we have to teach him that it is...are your ready? A brother. So sometime around Christmas Gabe is going to have a brother little Logan Matthew. I am excited for Gabe he love babies it's so cute to see him help. He was really good with Lorelai so I am not worried in the slightest. Well except he does love his attention so hopefully it wont be a problem. He is so sweet when he tells me that "Baby in Cristy's belly". I think he is looking forward to it. It is hard to explain a baby just showing up all of the sudden to a two year old.

Oh and I had it pointed out to me that it is weird that I care about the baby, but the fact is that Logan is Gabe's brother and family is what matters and the baby is important to Gabe and that's all that matters to Mama. So there. :P

Oh and last but not least I got a new headboard this week. Well it's new to me anyway. This isn't the greatest picture but with the lighting I had in the office this is what you get.

Weight loss

I was just looking at some old pictures of me and realize how far I have really come since I had Gabe. When I was pregnant I was 180 lbs and happily got down to 150-160 very quickly I stayed floating in there until recently (about 6 months ago). I have been loosing weight like crazy and went from size 11/12 to size 7. I don't own a scale and haven't been to the doctor recently so I have no idea what I weigh now but I do know that what ever the number is I am very happy where I am now.

I decided to create a comparison picture. The one on the left is where Gabe was about 9 months so maybe November of 09 and the one on the right was May 2011.

 



Today

Well I am working at the apartments today and now that turnovers are done it has been a peaceful day. I really needed a day to relax. I have had a slow stream of tenants thru the office, but nothing to major is going on. I did have someone call who couldn't find their brother, that was interesting, I'm glad I could help with their mini crisis.


IT RAINED! Which if you cant tell I am very happy about, however I just don't think it is going to be enough to get us out of this awful dry spell. Hopefully it will keep coming, we need it so badly.

The wind blew away one of the pool umbrellas, lol. It is always fun tracking them down, but at least it wasn't in the pool this time.

As I said its been a pretty relaxing day no complaints here. :D
