Grins and Giggles

Captain Underpants

Owen is now in underwear all during the day and we have not had any accidents in several days. The first day or two, we only had poopy accidents. He is not ready to poop in the potty(What is it with pooping? Gavin was the same way.)so he puts on a pull-up when he has to poop. He is so proud of his new big-boy underwear and loves them all so much that he changes them several times a day just to wear all the cool characters. It is funny because he often puts them on backwards and then his bottom hangs out. He is just so proud and so cute with his underoos. Way to go big boy. (Now, if you would stop growing up so darned fast!)

Spike

It is so funny to watch Gavin when his hair is styled. He will take both of his hands and lightly "smooth" his hair every couple of minutes to make sure that it still looks awesome. TeeHee

My Cool Dude

Emma Kate's Room

Two Months...Highlights

Then



I can't believe two months has passed by.
Gavin summed it up great today when I mentioned that it was Emma Kate's two month old birthday. They both hollared, "Yay!". I then asked them if they remembered her not being here. Gavin spoke up, "I don't want to, she is at her home now and she likes it!". I feel the same way, Gavin.
Eddie mentioned this weekend how he loves having the three of them. I can't imagine our lives without her. I always felt like we were missing something in our lives before she got here and now it just feels like she completes our little family.
Right now Emma Kate is cooing and talking, pulling up on her chest, and still sleeping a LOT. However, it is simply her presence that brightens our lives.

Now

No More Tangle Fairies

Before

Since last summer, Gavin has wanted to have long hair. I personally don't like buzz cuts on boys and prefer long hair myself so I agreed to let him grow it out. He wanted it to look like Prince Charming from Shrek

so that he could shake his head and it would fall from side to side. However, Gavin's hair is VERY thick and we have been battling the tangle fairy, plus it takes forever to dry. The no tangle spray works great, but I have been wanting to try a shorter hairstyle on him. Gavin finally begrudgingly agreed so I cut his hair this weekend. I took about 2-3 inches off of the top. I think we both almost shed some tears at the final result but after two days, we both love it. Eddie immediately loved it. I bought some hair gel this weekend which we are going to try out for church tomorrow. Gavin likes it spikey but it may need to be shorter to hold the style. It is still very heavy now and wants to lay flat.
