Bowl of Fun

Matt usually gives the kids breakfast in the morning. For the boys it is more of an early morning snack to keep them occupied while Leah gets ready for school. Today it was sugary cereal with marshmallows. This means Louis picks out all the marshmallows and leaves the cereal in the bowl. Gabriel helped himself to it.

Bros Forever

Louis loves to pick out clothes for Gabriel to wear and he especially loves to go all matchy match with their outfits. His favorite outfit to match are pajamas. The boys ready for bed.

Perfect Lil Baby Legs

Since Leah was a baby I have absolutely loved baby legwarmers. I was given my first pair by a customer at Starbucks and at first thought "Huh?" but all it took was using them one time to realize what a perfect everyday accessory they are-especially when cloth diapering or with potty learning and ECing (elimination communication-diaper free). None of our kids have ever been big on wearing clothing while at home and I've never cared either way as long as they are warm/cool enough. Now that Gabriel has started to crawl though his knees need the extra protection from rubbing against our carpeting all day. Louis has gone back to wanting to use the potty so the legwarmers make that easier as well, the lack of pants to pull down is great. Leah's warmers have been used by both the boys AND she still uses her own for dance or as arm warmers. Love the versatility.

Happy Boys

Best Boys

Louis picked out matching outfits.

Never Gets Old

It's almost a month since Gabriel joined our family. I was sure that by this point Leah and Louis would be bored with him but I was wrong. Every morning Louis comes downstairs looking for the baby and Leah does the same.

Big Sisters Rock!

Leah rocks the big sister role. The boys are lucky to have her. She absolutely relishes every moment.

Big Brother Louis

Louis is absolutely in love with his little brother. I didn't really have a clue of how Louis would handle having another baby in the house. It has been one of my biggest worries, throughout my pregnancy and until his birth. Since I quit my job to stay home it has been just the two of us. From the first moment Louis saw Gabriel he has been completely in love with his baby brother. He wants to hug him and kiss him all day long.

His favorite thing is to ask if he can hold him. He says "Hold it! Hold it! Please hold it!"

Leah loves Louis, Louis loves Leah, they both love Gabriel. Without fail Gabriel will love them back.


Gabriel is one lucky boy.
