March & April 2012

by admin ~ June 28, 2012

We’re late in posting the last two months of pictures so we have two months March and April below:

The kids turned 2 in March and we celebrated with a big birthday party at Gymboree with a bunch of friends. The kids all had fun and the birthday cake was a big hit.
The kids go to Gymboree every week with Ciara. They love going to Gymboree so they can run and jump. Gabe learned how to jump and was hopping like a frog all over the house. Zara didn’t pick up on jumping as quickly as Gabe. She would proudly stomp one foot on the ground when we told her to jump. For whatever reason they started putting a book on the floor and jumping off of it. This provided hours of entertainment.

We took the kids to swim lessons at our gym. They love being in the pool and especially love jumping off the side into the water. They are pretty fearless and going under the water does not seem to bother them.

The kids started saying “I love you” back when we said it to them (really it sounded like “ri-rove-ru” but it still made my heart melt) and I started saying “I love you more.” We soon started having a banter back and forth when we said said I love you and “un-un, I love you more.” It is pretty cute!

April.
I bought the kids a harmonica and they love playing it. It’s so much fun to watch them learn how to play it!

Z was out of town for a few days and I dropped some applesauce I was feeding to Gabe. As I dropped it I said “Oh Crap” (it could have been worse!) and Gabe quickly repeated it….five hundred times! When Z returned home Gabe dropped his fork when eating dinner and said “oh Crap.” A few hours after the kids went to bed, Z and I were laughing about how Gabe said “oh Crap” and out of nowhere in his high pitched little boy voice Gabe yells “oh crap!”. Guess we are going to have to watch what we say even when we think they’re asleep!
