Daybook- Watching a Movie...

Watching a movie with two one-year olds is quite an adventure, but one that is warranted every now and then...

I am thinking... how long are they really going to sit on the couch with me and watch this movie??

I am thankful for... the first 20 minutes of the movie when I have a baby sitting on each side of my lap, a dog at my side, and another at my feet... what a great start to our day!

I am reading... Mady gets off the couch to go get a book... now we're going to watch a movie and read a book... Zoo Animals...

I am hoping... Gaby always loves to cuddle up and watch a movie, 30 minutes in and she hasn't moved a muscle...

On my mind... I know I have an imagination... but puppies flying a spaceship, really??

We're learning... the bear that Gaby was cuddling with is wanted by Mady, who has taken hers to the other side of the room... no Mady, that's not yours, Mady needs to learn to let Gaby have her toys too!

Noticing that... Gaby listens even when I don't think she is paying any attention to what is going on, great multi-tasking Gaby! Watching a movie, and pointing to Mady's bear...

Pondering these words... "Mama, lkjlk jwperio wperho bnvoiw yt dog..." Yes Mady, dogs in space...

A few plans for the week... it's a pajama/Movie day today, Friday maybe a date night with my hubby, and weekend craziness!

From the kitchen... egg salad, stuffed peppers, and who knows what else...

Around the house... toys, toys, dog toys, and more toys...

One of my favorite things... watching a movie with my girls!

Mady and Gaby's 15 Month Update

We're making Mommy step away from her Daybook Posts, so we can give everyone a 15 month update on how we are growing and changing everyday! Mommy is letting us do this blog entry... this is a new adventure for us! Just when we were getting e-mail figured out...

So anyways, since I am the technology girl, I get to start... yup you guessed it, it's Gabbers. And, quite the gabbers I am becoming Mommy says. I now have about 10 words/signs in my vocabulary, and love to use them whenever I can. My favorites and most used are Mama, Dada, dog, bear and Grandpa. I also know what a dog, lion, and fish say! And, I can sign more, please, all done, and drink. Mommy and Daddy love that I am starting to communicate more. And Mady, well we are developing our own secret language that only her and I can understand. It's sure to drive Mommy crazy!

Ok, my turn, oh-great-one-of-many-words... hey it's Mady. Don't let Gaby impress you all that much... I can say and sign everything she can... it's just she likes to use them more. I just like to babble on and on in my own language. I know someday everyone will understand. I am still the studious one, I know when something in the room is new or has moved, and whenever Mommy can't find something, she asks me to go find it, and usually I do! I'm very good at finding our bears, cups, and even the Theresa and Sammy's toys! I am also a big helper around the house, I make sure the gates at the top and bottom of the stairs are closed at all times, and that the door to the dog run is closed, so Gaby doesn't go outside by herself and get scared! Of course that means Theresa and Sammy can't go outside to potty... but Mommy keeps an eye on that one!

Ok, Mady I have one more thing to tell everyone... I'm back, it's Gaby. (Trumpet sound... duh duh duh...) I AM WALKING! I started walking when we were on our trip to Iowa in beginning of April, and now, Mommy has to almost run to catch us both. Mady and I can be very fast!! Not only can I walk, but I (fine Mady, we) also love to go up and down the stairs, throw the ball for the doggies, and climb in and out of cabinets and niches. Very fun stuff! Why we both crawled for so long we'll never understand... walking is so much better!

Well, Mommy says this is getting long enough, but one more thing. It's Miss Mady, closing our first blog entry. We also wanted to let you know, we know where our eyes, mouth, head, nose, ears, toes and belly buttons are... it's so much fun having a sister to point out body parts to! And doggies... Sammy loves it when I play with his ears!

Ok, well it is nap time, we have to go, but we will check back in with everyone another time! Enjoy the new pictures!
