Our week in photos

 I don't know where this week went. It was as normal of a week as they come but it has just flown by. Gabby had a playdate here at our house yesterday and it was the cutest thing ever. We had 3 of her friends from school over, two boys and a girl and the four of them play so well together. They are all similar in personalities; a little reserved at first but once they open up, they are giggly and funny. They were dancing around the house in costumes and there were cookies and popcorn everywhere but it was worth the clean up to see them having so much fun. 3 1/2 is worlds different than 3; it was the first time that as moms we felt like they didn't need constant supervision and interaction; they were beyond happy to be off playing together and doing their thing. At 3 they still were very independent in their playing; they would parallel play but each with their own toys. Now they interact, make up games and silly voices, and truly play with each other. It was going to be a short playdate because of snow but we all lost track of time and 3 hours later we had 4 very tired kids!

Elliot is in to everything now. I mean every. single. thing. he can get his little hands on. Now that he pulls himself up to stand, nothing is safe. If it can be pulled down, knocked over, pushed, grabbed, or opened, this kid is on it. Gabriella was never like that, maybe it was her prematurity, maybe just personality, but Elliot can not be left alone for a minute with out him getting into something. He gets so proud of himself when he discovers something new. It's really adorable but my goodness he can move fast!

When Reese was born last week, Gabriella became so excited that there is another little girl in the family. She asked  told :), my mom that Reese needed an Anna dress and she needed an Elsa dress so they can play together (she definitely is in denial that Reese is a 6lb newborn!). My parents found an Elsa dress for her and she wears it every possible minute that she can. She's in Elsa costume at the store, for play, while jumping, basically everywhere but school.

 She also loves playing hospital and has just discovered that Elliot makes a perfect patient for her. She listens to his lungs, his heart, and  her favorite, gives shots. She honestly loves everything medical so it will be interesting to see if that's where her life leads her!

Have a happy Thursday!
