February Updates

Sophia Edith.

Sophia: Now that Sophie is 3 yrs old, she has really blossomed into such a little lady. She loves to have meaningful conversations, "read" books, color, cut with scissors, put together puzzles, and play with stickers. She loves to go to gymnastics class (her and I are finishing our 2nd session of Parent & Me class-next session she will be on her own!) and is constantly saying, "watch me!" and showing off her latest new move! She is doing very well at gymnastics and would go everyday for hours and hours if she could! Soph also loves to dance, sing her own made up songs along with the ABCs, play dress up and ride her bike arond the house. Her favorite cartoons are Max & Ruby, Ping Gu and Dora. She has also taken a liking to American Idol and tells us if the people are good singers or not. Sophie really likes to have her back pack full of her favorite stuffed animals and lipglosses wherever she goes. She is a great big sister but also gets very upset when her little brother comes anywhere near her things. Needless to say, Sophia is very busy, independant, opinionated, a perfectionist and such a little sweetheart.

















Happy Gavin.


Sad Gavin.



Gavin: Gavin will be 17 months here in a couple of days and this little guy is just go, go, go all day long! He is a lover, funny guy and such a sweet, sweet baby all in one. Gavin loves to roam around the whole house all day long, just exploring and making messes as he goes. He is a very good listener though and will put things back if we tell him to. Gavin's favorite thing in this world is his passy (pacifier)....it will be a miracle if we can ever get him to get rid of it!! He loves to cuddle with Mama before his nap and rough house with Daddy. Gavin also loves to dance (we have many dance parties at our house!), eat and do whatever his sister is doing. Gav is such a smiley little man but we have started to see the beginning of the terrible 2's already. Gavin almost has all of his 2 yr. molars too...I was sure shocked to discover that one day! Oh my little guy with his big green eyes...he sure makes my heart melt!


Sophia has become sooo good at coloring! This is one of her favorite things to do lately!





Daddy and Gav playing some pool...
