Gus

Gus has been sleeping in his bed for over 2 weeks now!!! We kept telling him he would "get" to when he turned 3!! When I mentioned it to him the first night he was suprisingly very willing. He is cooperative most nights. I think I have fallen asleep in there only once. Other than that he watches a movie and falls asleep on his own. Sometime in the middle of the night he crawls back into bed with us. (Which is fine with me!!)

Bo - Updates

Bo is almost 14 months old and I just wanted to make a note for myself of some of the things he can do and say.

He can "run" really good.
He gurgles alot.
He fake laughs to get you to laugh.
He can shake his head yes and no, but doesn't quite know the full meaning.
He fake cries to get Gus in trouble.
Laughs like crazy when Gus blows on his belly.
He has numerous cuts, scrapes, scabs and bruises from Gus. Maybe those aren't really fake cries...
He can ride his battery powered 4wheeler and is getting better with the self powered one.
He wears a size 4 diaper. I tried Luvs a couple of weeks ago -- ALLERGIC REACTION -- so after suffering for a few days I went back to Huggies. All is well. Manhood intact.
He eats ANYTHING. Food or not.
Takes a bottle with cold whole milk 90% of the time. Loves all kinds of juices. Playing with a sippy cup...
Goes to bed about 8:30 and sleeps all night. Occassionally he will wake up, but a bottle is all he wants.
Wears size 12-18 month pants and 18-24 month shirts. Size 6 shoe.
LOVES TO BE OUTSIDE. LOVES IT.
Hates shoes and socks.
His entire body is a tickle spot. But especially the bends of his legs and his chest.
Takes a 2-3 hour nap after lunch. Another one about 5:00 for 30 min-1 hr.
Loves to take a bath and throw things out of the tub for Gus to throw back in.
Words he can speak - byebye, Bubba, DaDa, Momma, nite-nite, uh-oh, and "engh" (you know that sound you make instead of saying no-no ten thousand times in a day...)
He's starting to "sing" with Gus. And Gus does not like this. He screams "I can't hear me, Bo!"

Bo is a super sweet, super content baby! I still have not gotten his hair cut. It's not that it needs it too bad, but with Gus I wouldn't have dared let the 1st birthday roll around without at least cutting a twig. I'm going to make him stay a baby for as long as I can! I love you more everyday, Bodee Bear!!! Love, Momma
