Little Bruder

Giles has just turned 8 months old. He is so fun! He army crawls, loves to sit up, but his favorite thing to do is be held by Mom. He is my only baby that has a favorite blankie at such a young age. When Giles sees his blanket when it is nap time he lunges for it and smiles really big.

He is adored by Gavin and Grace. Every morning, Grace wakes up and says "Giles awake yet?" All Giles has to do is make a peep and she runs in his room and climbs in the crib.
This is a common scene at our house: Grace smothering Giles with kisses. Notice how she lays right on top of him! She constantly calls him "MY Bruder!"
Grace loves being a big sister! She has tried to undress Giles (totally scary!!) and constantly grabs his head to give him kisses. She is still learning how to be soft and Giles is a good sport.
This picture is so cute! Giles is looking up to his big bro and Gavin is content to play with the baby. Gavin is a really big helper! He can help feed Giles, play with him, and "babysit" while I take a shower. Both kids give Giles a hug and a kiss every night before bed. It is so sweet! All I can say is: Giles is one lucky baby!

Sunrise Super Star!!

The classic picture in front of the sun. Go Sunrise!!!
1st day of school. Gavin was so excited he woke up and had his bed made by 6am! Then he was bummed when I told him school didn't start for 3 more hours!
At back to school night sitting in his new desk. Kindergartners don't get desks so this was BIG TIME that as a first grader he has a desk with his name on it!
Brent and Gavin on their way to school. Grace had dance class today so Brent walked Gavin to school. What a great Dad!
Grace is all ready for her first day of dance. It was nice that she had something to do while Gavin is gone all day.
