3 Months Young

This week Gabe turned 3 months young on the 25Th. I did my best to "re-create" some pictures from when Carson turned 3 months young, using the same outfits. They definitely have their own looks. Carson's head is much rounder than Gabe's.

Enjoy looking at the pics!

ALOHA!

3 OUNCES

Today I took Gabe up to the hospital again for a weigh in. I thought since he will be 3 months young TOMORROW (already!?) that we should see what he was at. 15.1# and 25". He gained 3 ounces in the last week and apparently grew 1/2". My goodness! I am so amazed that these last 3 months have flown by so fast! I remember after I had Carson and was talking to Sandra, getting her much needed advice that she said, "after 3 months things get easier." It felt like 3 months was so long (I was looking to the future and wondering when it would be here)and now with Carson being 2 1/2, Gabe at 3 months, it seems like those 3 months are now, oohh, about a day! Amazing how time does fly!

We had a couple rough days last week. Carson with some attitude and us trying to deal with it and get past it. But I had a great talk with an experienced mom who has two girls ages 7 1/2 and 5 1/2. Some much needed advice and input on how to handle the attitude. Reminded me on how to get to the heart of the matter and not just keep everything superficial. Getting God in there and learning from Him and the Bible.

All of our moods have gotten a lot better this week. Carson is just so cute. Yesterday after his nap, he was eating some almonds that I had in a baggy and he said, "here, let me bite it for you" and gave me the other half. Wonder where he learned that?! :) His little comments (usually) bring a smile to my face. He also is saying "sanks" for everything! Opening the door, getting him lunch, his water, a spoon...everything! It's really sweet.

Anywho, just wanted to update a little. Until next time...

ALOHA!

Track Meet

Last night we went to the last track meet of the year. Carson participated in the 50m, 100m 200m (which I ran with him), long jump, the javelin, and the baseball throw (he threw it 20 feet). He did a great job for being 2 1/2 and doing these types of events for the first time. He even got his arms pumping during the runs a couple of times.

After we got to the car he said, "Thanks for going to meet." He had a great time and slept in until after 7am this morning! YEAH! :)

CONVERSATION

This dialog happened between Trever and Carson when Trev went to get Carson out of his room this morning.

C: Did you just wake up?
T: No, I took the car to Pop's office and rode my bike home.
C: Did you crash?
T: No.
C: Did you hit deer?
T: No, the deer are night-night resting.
C: Do the deer have piddows (pillows)?

Just wanted to share a little of what we hear often. Our wonderful 2 1/2 year olds little brain working hard.

ALOHA!

Last Year

In July we had a Family Reunion with the Coster's, the Crowe's and the Parish's. On the 28Th we went to some event in the park and had a big picnic and listened to a band. The Parish's had to leave, that is why they aren't in any of these pics.



While everyone was together, Trever, myself, and Carson...


...had something to tell everyone. We were having ANOTHER BABY!

Some months later, Gabe is here. Last night we went to the first city band concert in the park where we made the announcement last year. Pretty amazing that little Gabe is here with us, blessing us each and every day.

New Trick

This is Gabe trying to look behind him at the TV. UGH! What is with our boys and TV??? :)


This is us hanging out while Carson was riding his bike. He got the bike from Kai a couple weeks ago and when he sees anyone, he tell them he got a new bike. The training wheels came from Gramma this week. YEAH!! 6.14.09

Kristin was nice enough to let us borrow the "Oh, Oh, Bunny" and "So Mad, Bunny" books to try to help us realize that when we are mad we need to pray and not rip our books apart. After us reading them a couple times together this morning, Carson was looking at them by himself.

Gabe's new thing this week is his tongue.


All smiles.
