the apple doesn't fall too far...

We're always told how much Gus looks like his papa - So much so, that I was beginning to wonder if he inherited any of my genes at all... ... until I discovered how much Gus likes to put silly things on his head and play dress-up. Call-off the maternity test, he's mine!

well, that didn't last long...

Okay, so maybe I should be fired, but I was kind enough to give myself a second chance and well, here I am (And with an all new format! - I kid, the format's not sticking around)

Developmental Update: Not only can Gus say words and label things when he's asked (that is, to point to a pony say, when we ask where the pony is - not literally label items with, like, a label-maker, that would just be too advanced!) but he volunteers all sorts of information all the time now. Tonight at bedtime he was perusing the bookshelf and pulled out one of our favorites, Awake to Nap, and without prompting he said, "Nap!" I am one proud mama.

Sappy Mama Update: Sometimes I wonder if, a few years down the road, I'll forget what our days are filled with right now. I hope I remember that Gus hums when he nurses, laughs when he burps (or worse!) and sings "Happyyyy, happyyyy, happyyyy!" all the live-long day...



I'm Fired!

I've really been lagging with getting new posts out, as some of you may have noticed. There's really no excuse - Gus keeps growing and doing wonderfully exciting things each and every day, so I should have more than enough to work with, I know!

So from now on, there will be someone else on the case...

p.s. I don't know how he does it, but Gus has some magical ways with the computer: the screen had been set to the home page before Gus somehow navigated over to the blog while I was getting the camera (really!)

p.s.2. For example (of Gus' computer magic) check out the below post's "labels" - He did that...
