I'm back....again!

This post is for Helen. :) I am sooooo bad about posting, which is more than obvious. I don't know why it is so hard for me to keep up with blogging...but it IS hard for me. Never-the-less, I'm giving it a shot again. Maybe I need to actually tell people about the blog instead of just Helen and my MIL. That's a start...

Here's the latest:

Gage is 14 months old and is a complete mess! He is so much fun and full of life. Daniel and I love watching the new things he learns and amazes us with his goofy personality. Just yesterday, he was following 2 step directions. I asked him to 1. "Go get your blanket and 2. bring it to me". He did it perfectly. We tried this several times with lots of different objects, and he did great each time. He has also shown us that he can find his shoes and try to put them on his feet. He can't quite get them on...so it's nice to know he still needs Mom to do some things! His new word of the day is "car". All we heard on the way home tonight was "car, car, car, car". It was adorable!!

Along with all the great things he is learning, Daniel and I are learning lots of things as parents, too. We learned this week, that Gage will copy anything we do. ANYTHING. We have gotten to where we will point at Gage to get his attention. Whether it is to say "No sir, we do not ______" or simply to point at him. Welllll.....Gage now points his little pointer finger at US when being scolded. Trying telling a cute baby NO when he is pointing at you and making you laugh. It's pretty hard to keep a straight face! I guess we are going to have to be a little more careful from now on.

Daniel and I have started going to the gym. We go on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and some Saturdays. We are beginning our third week of going and we have both seen results. I love going with him and feeling like we are taking care of ourselves while still getting to spend time together. Gage seems to LOVE the childcare. There is one girl, named Jessica, that says he is her FAVORITE. She always carries him around and his little face lights up when he sees her.

I am getting ready for a craft fair this weekend. I will be selling the clipboards I've been working on. I just heard about the fair yesterday, so I spent all day scrambling around trying to get as many made as possible. I was able to get 15 ready to sell. WOOHOO! But now...my hands are super sore and starting to get numb. I better cal it a night. I will try to post again soon!!
