Ivan is really getting around these days, there is no more sitting still or staying in one room for more than 10 minutes. He is on the go! I expect him to be walking soon, he's getting all the practice in that he needs. Oops, did I say walking? I meant running!



Lil' StinkPot!



Juliana has finally achieved the goal of riding without training wheels! I had to force her to go outside & practice with me 4 different days, she would whine & cry that she didn't want to learn & she didn't care. On the 4th day of practicing a little girl from down the street, named Julia, came riding her 2 wheel bike over to us. That was it, Juliana had competition & she wasn't going to let Julia know she is afraid of riding without mom holding on. Julia began to ride off & Juliana told me to let go, we haven't had to "practice" since. She did it & there is no turning back. Juliana has rode her bike every day consecutively for about 2 weeks now!

Because of Juliana's excitement of riding her bike, Ivan is getting to ride his push car farther than he knew he could. He goes as fast as his legs allow & lets me know that my assistance is not needed.

I caught Juliana dancing to Hannah Montana DVD, in 3-D, at bedtime. The bedtime rule is that her head must be touching the pillow, TV gets turned off if I catch her doing differently. Well, she stuck to the rule alright, but that didn't stop her from practicing her dance moves.

Christmas Time

Christmas with the WHOLE Gibbs Family!

It was sooooo nice to have everyone together at the same time! I loved it, almost felt like the "old days" but in a better, different way.
