Big Boy Underwear!

Last night after Gabriel's bath, I showed him his "big boy underwear" that I have planned for him to wear next week while I'm off work with the kids. He was adamant that, NO, he wanted to wear his diaper. Tonight after his bath, I went to put on his diaper, and he insisted that he wear his big boy underwear. Yea! So . . . we put on underwear.
His big boy underwear have adorable little dinosaurs on the back.
Knowing that being dry all night has only happened once (last night!), we put on a pull-up overtop of the underwear to catch pee-pees. He liked the idea of wearing pull-ups too!
Potty training is just around the corner!

Daddy and Gabriel Playing Ball

Gabriel laid across Grandma's excerise ball last night. Daddy would bounce him up and down and then let him roll of the side of it. Gabriel had a blast!



Grace Reading Catalog

Grace laid on the couch at Grandma and Papa's house and read (ate) a catalog.
Grandma said that if she ate the catalog, then she wouldn't be able to buy from it.
We did take the catalog away and gave her a toy. The catalog may not be the best thing to teeth on.

Posing

Gabriel and Grace posed together for some pictures. It is so awesome that Grace is sitting up on her own now!

Graduation Party


We went to Cousin Gus's graduation party this afternoon. It was a great party! Gabriel played with Kiegan --- it is Kiegan's 2nd Birthday today! Grace was passed around and held by everyone.
Congratulations, Gus, now a St. X alumni!

The First Bridal Shower

These pictures were taken last Sunday at Stacey's Bridal Shower with the Holdaway side of the family. It was held at Adrienne and Company in Jeffersonville. The happy couple soon to be wed . . . they are so cute together.

Grandma and Mommy went to Michigan today for Future-Aunt Stacey's Bridal Shower given by her friends and family. It was a beautiful shower. We made lots of new friends, enjoyed some wonderful food, and enjoyed a girl's day together.

Hair Bow

I couldn't decide which picture I liked the most. They are all so adorable. Grace was just all smiles and showing off for the camera.






Sunday Morning Breakfast




Gabriel's favorite meal is pancakes, so Mommy made some for him on Sunday morning. Grace played blocks in her highchair while Mommy cooked.

Kosair Hat

Karney and Dodie stopped by this afternoon and brought goodies for the kids. One of the goodies was this Kosair Charities fez; each of the kids got one. It was so cute on Grace because it looked like a lampshade on her head, and it was the same color as her outfit.

Company for Dinner

Missy, Billy, and Abby came to visit tonight for dinner. We haven't really seen them since January. It was nice to spend some time together. Abby trying to hold hands with Grace.
Abby and Missy have some tummy time . . . Abby HATES to lay on her belly.
Grace tried to show Abby the benefits of laying on your belly and then rolling to the toys you want to play with.

Playing Cars

This afternoon Mommy and Grace were playing in the floor when Gabriel came over and plopped down between us with his cars. That was is not-so-subtle hint that he wanted us to play cars with him . . . and we did.
They are so cute when they play "together."

Playing with Uncle Ed at the Park

Uncle Ed has traveled South for the weekend. We are all happy to see him. Aunt Stacey will be here tomorrow evening. We are looking forward to seeing her --- and the ring --- too. We took the kids to the park because it was such a pretty evening. Hey, Grace, how's the view from waaaaaaaaay up there?
Gabe-O LOVES to slide!

Uncle Ed helps Grace get in on the sliding action too!

Mother's Day Pictures from Grandma and Papa's House

We had Mother's Day dinner at Grandma and Papa's house with Uncle Brian and Erin. Gabriel and Grace had fun playing. Uncle Brian and Erin lifted the kiddos up so that they could look at themselves in the mirror. The kids thought it was hilarious, but now Grandma has to clean her mirror.

Grace rolled all over the living room floor.
Gabriel and Uncle Brian played together.
Uncle Brian also taught Gabriel how to play Pac-Man on the TV. He enjoyed playing his first video games.
