Me and my boy!

FOOTLOOSE part 2

I heard myself yelling "don't touch her, Arwen - don't touch her!" at the end of the last video - Bad mama! So you won't think I am horrible I will tell you why - Cousin Caroline has just started walking - GO CAROLINE!!! Arwen wanted to dance with Caroline but of course, I didn't want her to knock the poor kid over!

Here is one with Arwen dancing in it - just so you won't think I didn't want her to dance! I think I was just so excited about Gabe shaking his hips like ELVIS I got a bit caught up in the moment.

Gabe is still center focus in the video, but you can definitely see Arwen shakin' it too!

Gabe Dancing

Footloose

Gabe LOVES the song Footloose. We noticed it a few months back when we were watching the movie. When the song came on he stopped everything and started shaking it. How lucky was I today when it came on the radio at cousin Caroline's birthday party! Here is a little sample of the 5 or 6 videos mama took:

Gabe Footloose

One more thing...

Also, Gabe is talking up a storm now! He is saying hi, bye, Yaya (Arwen), mama, dadee, more (signs it too), eat eat, hot, cheese (just said that the first time tonight - I had the camera and I told him to say "cheese" and he DID!), bubbles, bath, night night, papa, nana, hemaw, car, juice, ball. I think those are the majority of them, but I really feel I am leaving something else out.

His back two teeth are also coming in on top. He has two knots on the bottom so hopefully they will come in soon.

That is about it. I have a video of him saying cheese that I will try and post tomorrow.

Rest in Peace...

I had to throw away Arwen's last pink and purple "bink." Perry told me he smelled something "foul" and we could not figure out what in the world it was. When I went to put her in her bed and kiss her goodnight....OH.MY.GOODNESS. The smell, or funk I should say, was HORRIBLE.

Please bow your head for a moment of silence.

Cue Taps...

Vasoline

I woke up late yesterday morning after a horrible night with Gabe and Arwen. In fact, Arwen never went back to sleep after about 3:00am. When my alarm went off I told her, "Do not get out of bed." When I got out of the shower, I looked in the bed and of course she was not there. I heard laughing, so I knew she was in Gabe's room. What I didn't know is that she was smearing herself and the poor kid in VASOLINE. When I made my way in there, this is what I found...




What makes Gabe's picture priceless is the green boogie hanging ever so slightly out of his nose. heh.


I am still trying to wash it out - the vasoline, not the boogie.

SUPERSTAR!

My children LOVE LOVE LOVE the movie Superstar (and yes, I know it is not highly appropriate for children but there are AWESOME dance scenes.) Below is a clip of my children BREAKING IT DOWN to one of the dance scenes. If you look closely at the tv, you will see the people dancing. If you look at Arwen, she is attempting to do the same movements. I laughed until I practically PEED on myself. Be sure to watch Gabe too - he danced until he fell!
