I think these chair pics are going to continue to get harder and harder. He cooperated for the first few, but quickly got sick of it. (Hence the pics at the end.)
This past Saturday I met Jessica, Keri, and Amanda down in Dallas for a little girls night while Daniel stayed with Gage. We stayed Saturday night at the Hotel ZaZa and went out to dinner at Hibiscus restaurant, which was amazing. We spent several hours catching up over dinner and drinks and it was so nice to have a little mommy time. I missed Gage like crazy that night but knew that he was having fun with his Daddy! I can't wait to plan our next girls night.
On Friday Gage and I met our friends Melanie and Meacham at the zoo! The weather was beautiful and it was such a nice day to go visit the animals. I have wanted to take Gage for a while but wanted to wait till the cooler weather arrived. The animals were out and Gage loved looking at them. (He also liked to bang on the glass, which you are not suppose to do.) I think he had two favorite exhibits; The bears, and the fish aquarium. They seem to really catch his attention. He also was quite obsessed with the water fall at the zoo. He loves water and could stand there and watch it for hours. I can't wait to go back again as Gage gets older, because he really loves animals. Here are a few pics from our trip.
Daniel was reading to Gage last night and I couldn't help but take a few pictures. It was such a precious moment. Gage was all cuddled up with Daddy and they were enjoying a few books together. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband, and father to Gage. He is the best!
Gage is getting around so well these days and climbing and pulling up on everything. When we were at Gymboree Monday, he learned to climb up the padded stairs they have. Here is a video and a few pics!
Sunday was so pretty here in Oklahoma, which was a needed break from the week of constant rain, so we decided to pack a lunch and head to the park! Gage loved swinging on the swings and playing on the little "bouncy spring thing." (sorry, don't know what to call it) We also went on a little walk after our picnic lunch, and he was absolutely obsessed with the sunflowers that were all around, so we thought that was a good photo opportunity. (Hence the new pic on the blog.) Gage has grown up so much and is like a little boy now. He has such a personality, and is so much fun. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful healthy family! God is Good!
Gage started MDO on Tuesday. It was so hard dropping him off and then getting in the car with an empty car seat, but I know it was good for both of us. He did great according to his teachers and was excited to see me when I picked him up. We can't wait for next Tuesday!
Gage is starting to stand on his own without holding on to anything! I happened to catch one of his "no hands" standing performances on video tonight. He is growing up so fast and is doing so good with his little walkers. I give it another month and I bet he will be walking on his own.
We recently got Gage a sit-in walker and a push behind walker so he could be a little more independent in his walking and not have to hold on to our hands to travel around. (That is so back breaking.) Here are a few pictures from his first couple days with the walkers. He is doing so good walking around and I don't think it will be to long before he will be doing it on his own.
Daniel and I have been married since June 10, 2006. We moved from Houston to Oklahoma right after we were married. We welcomed our first child, Gage, on December 29,2008 and our second child, Stella, on February 10th 2011. I have the privilege of being a stay at home mom and Daniel works for Devon Energy! Life is crazy right now, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
