Life Lately

Things have been different the last 2 weeks.  And that is because Scott is in Australia for work.  Gabe and I have been home, alone while Scott is on the other side of the world exploring and having fun working very hard. 

Since Scott left Gabe decided it would be fun to start crawling.  He started with scooting backwards and then after a lot of frustration, he is very mobile and following everyone.  I'm pretty sure he desire to be mobile at 6 months is to chase Reily and explore the house.

Look Dad!  No hands!



 

 

Reily has been very good with his grabbing and pulling on her.  This was a huge fear of mine.  I didn't know how my 10 year old, only fur baby, would do with a baby grabbing, pulling, chasing, climbing on her.  You can tell she is thrilled that she has a follower, but that boy just loves his pup.

Another wonderful new trick that Gabe has started is to pull himself up.  He wants to see what is going on at all times.  He is so curious and it's fun watching him explore table tops and Reily's food bowls and the kitchen rug.

 

So, while I've taken over the role of single working mom for 2 weeks, Scott has explored Sydney. 

We can't wait to have Scott back home with us.  But that will have to wait a few more days.  Scott is meeting me in Las Vegas for a bachelor/bachelorette party weekend.  I cannot wait to have a couple days of vacation and fun.  It will be even more fun seeing Scott and enjoying a weekend, even though I know he will be jet lagged and exhausted from the 2 weeks of crazy work.
