* I kept trying to rush Gabriella to finish eating (she was picking at her food and taking forever...stalling I think). She pulled her plate back, and with a smirk, said to me, "Leave it alone." Rascal!!
* We had just driven home and were parked, about to get out. G's new fav song by Justin Bieber (I know, right?!) was on, so she didn't want to get out and wanted me to leave the car on so she could hear the rest of the song. I was looking back at her from the driver seat, telling her let's go, when she said to me, "Turn your face around. Like this." (as she pushed her own cheek) WHAT?!
* Earlier today she stretched herself out...feet on the coffee table (not allowed, never done before) and back on the sofa, suspended in air. I was like "What are you doing?!" She said, "Just like Mommy." I looked down, and sure enough, I was leaning back on the couch w/ feet on the table. Hilarious.
* Today, Gabriella was acting a little jealous of Mommy's attn on Kruz (see below). I decided she and I needed an impromptu date night tonight! Yes! We went out for a quick bite, a walk, and some ice cream...it was great! She and I both loved it. :) I asked her when we got home, "Who did you go on a date with tonight?" She said, "Ice cream."
* Earlier today, the kids and I were playing on the floor. G saw a glimpse of my tummy, and said (b/c she's fascinated w/ boo boos!!!), "What's that?" pointing. I said, "Marks" (Trying to avoid her knowing...and publically using...the words "Stretch marks"! I thought she'd ooh and aah and say 'yucky' or 'boo boo' or something of the sort. No. She smiled and sweetly said, "I LOVE them, Mommy!" and kissed them. I was in shock. I mean, huh?
This girl never ceases to surprise me. Every day is a new adventure. I love it.
* I also can't get over how she has such 'grown up' conversations (often w/o a breath in between! : / ) The past couple of days, I realized that she was using "because" correctly. Probably not a big deal...it just surprised me.
* Poor sweet girl. She is so much like Mommy in some ways (Opposite in others, such as loving the spotlight. No thanks.). Unfortunately, one of the ways we're similar is b/c although I'd consider both of us 'coordinated' individuals, she has inherited my clumsy gene. I mean, she is forever running into stuff, bumping her head, cutting corners too short, falling, you name it. Sorry baby girl. Unlike me, who acted as though this sort of thing was no big deal when it would happen to me as a kid (shake it off, don't cry...), she cries, droops, and needs ice... and talks about each boo boo for weeks. Yes, she remembers them all. I mean, really?
As for little man...
* Kruz is 6 1/2 months old...and as of yesterday, CRAWLING! I mean, he's not even super great at sitting up, but he is all over the place! Go, go, go. He wants to be put down and left to explore. Sliding, crawling, scooting, and inching his way all over the room...getting into everything. He's so adorable when he does this, I can't even explain. (Note to self: take video! Note to self again: charge video camera!) It's really been a fun couple of days. I'm pretty sure he's just warming up...breaking Mom in easy. ;) Thanks, Kruzy.
* On the same note, yesterday he barely began little crawl movements, today I think it's safe to say he's 'crawling.' However, by this evening, he was getting around, not on hands and knees, but on hands and FEET! So strong. Seriously doing like a 'downward dog' move...on the go. It was really funny. He kept doing it. Must video that one too. ;)
* Don't remember if I mentioned, but Kruz is seriously and consistantly sleeping THRU the night!! Night bottle around 7:15-8:00ish, and morning one around 6;00-7:30 am. Supremely awesome. Also, he takes btwn 2-4 naps (short) throughout the day. Lately, just taking him in his room makes him start to cry. Poor guy has way too much movin' and groovin' around the house to pause for a nap.
Love my sweet babies. Just thought I'd share some new thoughts and observations. Oh, and today was my official LAST day of work. I'm now a stay at home mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
