Walking!!

Gideon has been cruising for sometime now, and has been walking short distances for about 2 months now. In the past week he has really taken off, so you could say he 'started walking' around 14 months. I'm so proud of our little guy :) Yesterday I removed the baby gate from his bedroom door so he now has full access to his room and the middle room which he is thoroughly enjoying!


Here he is, thats the sound he makes when he is really excited about something, like walking all the way to mommy :)

Snow Day

Although it has been winter for quite sometime I realized I had not taken Gideon out to play in the snow at all. This is mainly due to the fact that I just really don't like snow. I knew I had to take him out in it at some point to explore and see what the white stuff was all about & since we got plenty of it last night, I figured today might as well be the day! He wasn't exactly thrilled, which is probably due to the fact that he buried his face in it the second I set him free and realized it is very cold! Thankfully the dogs made the experience a little more enjoyable and he giggled as he watched them play. All in all our 5 minute snow adventure
was a success!

So little..

I found a few short clips of video from when Gideon was younger :)






Jelly & Jam

On days where I have a lot of chores to get done I have to get creative with ways to keep Gideon busy. I have noticed the older he is getting the less I can get done around the house while he plays quietly in his bedroom or munches on Cheerios with me in the kitchen. So this morning we painted with red raspberry jam! What a mess! But he sure enjoyed it :)


Checking it out




This is fun!

Catch Up


I love the thought of having a 'baby blog', as I call it. Our friend Natalie blogs about their son Courben and I thought it was a wonderful idea. What a great way to note little memories and share with friends and family. Thanks Natalie!

I figured I would start this with a 'Catch Up' of Gideon Jude - Our cool little dude!!
