Hi again! It's been a while. Does anyone even read this anymore? :) I'm so not a good blogger. Oh well, one day I'm going to print this all out and put it in a binder as my "journal" so I'll try to keep it up. This past month and a half has flown by. We wanted to have everything done on the outside of our house by Caleb's birthday - June 6. That's in about 2 weeks. Are we done? Um... no. We've done a lot though. The siding is almost done, the deck is done, some landscaping is done, but there's still stuff to do, including finishing Gabe's playground thing, new front steps, and painting the garage. I'm sure we'll have a busy summer.

Gabe is getting so grown up it seems. Here's a story that melts a mom's heart. He said he wanted cookies one day after watching cookie monster on tv. So I said, "We don't have any, we'll have to make some." So we go into the kitchen and Caleb was napping so I was letting Gabe take his time adding ingredients and stirring. Then as we put them in little balls on the pan he looks at me and says, "You a good-" (and I thought he was going to say cookie-maker) but he says, "You a good mommy." I was like, "Aww! Thanks Gabe!" I really like this age. :) Finally, some pay back for all those sleepless nights.

Caleb is my busy boy. He is way more into things than Gabe. My friend (who got married a year ago and is not sure she's ready for kids) was picking my brain one day and asking, "Who's the easier kid?" I was like, "Well, Gabe has always been moody. So when he's happy he's sooo much fun, but he has a bad temper and can freak out really bad sometimes. Caleb is overall more easygoing, but he's into everything! You can't leave him alone for a second!" Then she's like, "So they're both hard." Yup! All kids are! :) But Caleb is a good baby as far as sleeping when we put him down and he'll eat ANYTHING (as you can tell from his size!) He's just never been one to sit next to you and cuddle. I think that not counting his newborn stage when he slept all the time, he's only fallen asleep while Josh held him ONCE. And it was when he was sick. So that's kind of sad, I loved it when Gabe did that. He's just the life of the party! He's almost walking. I can't believe he isn't already. He's been so close for like, 2 months. I'll have to post after his one year checkup with his weight and height but I bet he weighs at least 30 lbs. He wears 24 month and 2T and it's almost too small!

So those are the boys. Oh, and Josh is good too. :)
