New Zoo

Emme and I went to an Easter egg hunt at the New Zoo today. It was pretty cold and very windy, but we still managed to have a great time just us girls. 

Capture the Throne

Dustin always sits on the right side of the couch. Any time Dustin gets up all three kids scramble to take his seat. They always look so proud of themselves when they claim it. Until Dustin comes back and makes them move over. The older two always beat Gideon, and Elijah almost always wins over Emme. The other day Gideon climbed up on the couch all by himself and "claimed" the throne. He even got the remote! Watch out Dustin, the kids are trying to overthrow you! 

Short Sleeves

This morning I attempted to have the kids wear short sleeves for the first time this year. Emme and Gideon were all for it. Elijah insisted on wearing a long sleeved undershirt underneath his t-shirt. But hey, I think we may finally be one step closer to Spring. At least we can pretend it is Springtime in our house, as long as we keep the heat on.

Happy 11 Months Gideon

Gideon turned eleven months old on Saturday. He has always been and continues to be a happy little ray of sunshine. He loves his brother and his sister and always wants to be involved in what they are doing. He says "Mama, Elijah and Dada." He can stand for a few seconds by himself and he is a pro at walking around using furniture and his puppy walker for balance. We love our little Giddy Man and we are so grateful to have him as a part of our family. 

Families Can Be Together Forever

Gideon the Climber

Gideon's new favorite thing to do is to climb onto the puppy, then the chair and then crawl over to the couch. He is a fearless little booger, and he has not gotten detoured by falling off of the chair or the couch. Gideon is my first climber, and I have to say I am a little bit intimidated be him. He keeps me on my toes at all times.

Baby Beds

Emme and Gideon LOVE babies and Elijah LOVES his Tuggle Bear. Emme and Elijah decided to make their babies beds. Gideon was thrilled! He sang and talked/screamed at the babies.

 Gideon kept reaching into the box/bed and petting the Baby's hair and face

 He was very excited that Emme was letting him play with her and her Baby

And Emme was happy to let him play with her and Baby, until he decided that he needed to be the baby in the bed. Things turned a little ugly after that! lol
