I don't know how we ended up with about 6 months between posts...I guess between buying a new house (yea!), dealing with car accidents (boo!), painting and moving into the new house (yea!), and dealing with Max getting ALL of his stinkin' baby teeth in at once (double BOO!!!), it's been a liiiitttle crazy round here. Quick recap: Bought a house in Tigard with super duper help from awesome sister Heidi. Moved in at the end of April. Painted every single room. Many pics of that process on face book. You're not on Facebook?! Join us...we'll get you a farm! It won't hurt a bit!
Took Gabe out of preschool before the end of the school year because it would be too far a drive from the new house. Started doing the GAPS diet with him, and that requires a lot of cooking everything from scratch. I'd say (BOO!) only it's made a huge impact in his social skills. He seems a lot calmer, and he even talks to people and (gasp!) makes eye contact with people now. So now we're a low carb, gluten free family....most of the time.
Ben is growing into the funniest little 3 year old. He asks me the silliest questions all the time. "Was that fabulous, Mom?" "Am I hilarious, Mom?" "Was that cool trick AWESOOOOME, Mom?" "I'm cross at you now, Mom." He constantly cracks me up...except he can't tell a joke to save his life.
"Knock Knock."
"Who's There."
"Tree-ee" (because adding an ee sound to the end of any word is apparently super funny.)
Max has gone from baby to boy in a blink of an eye. Kid teethed 20 teeth since November - count em! No, don't count em - he'll totally bite you if you try. He went from crawling to walking to climbing everything in sight in no time. Now he won't even sit in a high chair anymore. He's got to be in a big boy chair, even though he falls out close to the end of most meals. Maybe that's a compliment to the chef?Here's a few new pics they took a couple days ago with Grandma at Portrait Innovations. More regular blog post to come...or so I hope!
