Ethan slept in his BIG BOY BED through the whole night for the 1st time last night! We tried 2 days ago and he slept in it until 4 a.m. and then got scared and came in to sleep with us because he wouldn't even sleep in his crib. Last night however, he slept in his toddler bed ALL night. He slept from 8:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m....YEAH! We will continue to try to have him sleep there and hopefully soon we can transfer Gabi into the crib. Ethan is getting to be such a big boy. He now waves at Gabi in her face and says hi dabs (Gabi) and then he will take her hand and try to wave it at him. Then Greg will tell him it's time to get your sister in the car seat and he will run over to Gabi with both hands out like he wants to pick her up and put her in her car seat. He also picks up her diapers and wants to put them in the trash. We bought him the cute fisher price toilet that has the happy dace on the back and has an actual flusher and part to put toilet paper on. He loves it...he just plays with it right now and just sits on it while we are going to the bathroom. We haven't tried potty training him yet, just getting him use to the idea of it and the idea of a toilet. He still waves bye bye to the poop and flushes the big toilet with help when we throw his poop from his diaper down the toilet. So he is in the starting process of potty training right now. No need to push him and rush him. He will be smart enough to figure it out when he wants too with a little guided help (haha!)

Gabriela is soooo cute. Greg and I love to just watch her every day. She has the cutest face and now SMILES all the time at us. She has been smiling for a while now. She even does the BIG smile where she will open her mouth with a big smile while sticking out her tongue. She is still feeding really well! She has the cutest facial expressions. She is very alert these days and looking at us as well as looking at her brother when he tries to talk and mess with her. Ethan has lately also tried to hit her with his toys and throw things at her...I think he thinks he is playing with her and wants Gabi to play with him too. Gabi is super long and we go to her 2 month check-up this week. My mom just sent us a cute outfit for Gabi for Halloween...she bought her a little pink onesie that looks like a skeleton. Then she made her a tutu to match. It is super cute. I found out after my mom came up that I somehow lost all the pics I took of her and the kids. I was very MAD because I had great shots of her and the 2 kiddos. Hopefully I can find them somewhere on my computer. I uploaded them, deleted them from my camera and then went back to find them later and they were gone. So if anyone knows how to pull them up on the SD card after I already deleted them from it...let me know! My dad also came up with his girl friend Sherri a week ago and they had a great time hanging out with the kids for a couple days. We met up with my cousins Katie, Ted and Thomas and we all ate at the Cheesecake Factory. Greg and my dad had never been so that was a lot of fun! Well, gotta go for now! More will come later.
