Over the flu

Gavin enjoyed Tracy's bridal shower last weekend along with his Great-Grandma.

The boys like helping their dad work on stuff in the garage. Vincent was working the drill, Daniel was gathering things and keeping them in order.
I came into the living room last week to find Daniel sitting on the couch turning the pages of my Bible. He told me he was doing his Bible Study. George got him this picture Bible the next day and he has been loving it. He sits next to me and does his "Bible Study". He loves reading the stories to people, or having them read to him. His favorite part seems to be the Angels. It's his favorite book.
We got hit pretty hard with the flu a couple weeks ago. We are just now recovering and getting back to normal. Daniel and Vincent both had ear infections which are still hanging on, pink eye abounded as did fevers. It rained the whole week so we couldn't go outside or anywhere else with our bugs. George took good care of us.
I spent most of yesterday cleaning. I'm out of the habit of cleaning after being pregnant and good for nothing for the last year. So things are finally starting to get wiped off. Windows, cupboards, furniture, walls, floors... the dirt and germs, uhk. I may have a clean house again, someday, maybe in 18 years. Ha! Things stay clean for about 30 minutes in this house. Vincent even had his mouth all over the glass door like a puppy after I clean it.
Gavin is 3 months old, 13.5 lbs. He's been watching his hands this week and grabbing at everything he can. He's pretty good at holding his head up. Gavin is a happy baby, sleeping well at night, usually waking up at 4 or 5 am to eat and then going back to bed for a few more hours. I can't figure out how to get him to sleep until 6 or 7am. He gets lots of kisses from both of his brothers, they both adore him. Gavin gets especially smiley on the changing table after he eats, his smiles are huge and are accompanied by the most beautiful coos. He likes talking.
Gavin's little cousin Dominic is 2 months old now. He's growing fast and getting cuter every time we see him.

Snuggling

Gavin and Daniel like to snuggle in bed sometimes. They were both so happy here, adorable.
On a less adorable note... At the top of the picture you'll notice the wall next to Daniel's bed, this has a few dark spots, apparently boogers take off paint. Not wanting to get out of bed for kleenex during his naps or at night, Daniel wipes the treasures he's dug out onto the wall. Mom comes along and cleans this off periodically, but once it's wiped clean, the paint is gone. So by the time we're done with this lovely habit we'll be able to see exactly how many boogers Daniel has put on there.
Vincent wasn't much in the mood for snuggling, he wanted to play with his bakabakas. (read motorcycles). Notice Gavin is content letting the motorcycle ride across his forehead. Vincent does this gently to all of us with some good moto sound effects- "bah, bahh, baaahhh". I think he learned this from Uncle Ryan.
