The Kiddos

Cecily Grace Gough 
2.5 Months

  • This little girl is such a blessing to our family.
  • What a chatterbox!  These aren't just gurgles, I almost half expect her to speak in fully formed words.  She is especially chatty in the morning and right before falling asleep.
  • Such a smiley baby.  Always happy to see her Mommy - what a confidence booster.
  • Was born at 8.3 lbs. and fell down to 7.6 lbs. before leaving the hospital.  A month later she jumped up to an awesome 12 lbs.!
  • For the past two evenings she has been sleeping for 8 hours! Whoa, right?  I can't expect perfection from her all the time, can I?
  • She's a mover for sure.  No wonder I felt those kicks so early on.
  • She loves the sound of the piano.  We realized this as she was crying in the RS room and I began to play and she stopped immediately to listen.

  • He is one happy little man and I love him for his naturally kind and sweet heart. 
  • Any boo-boo requires a kiss until it no longer hurts.
  • This awesome dude loves his itsy bitsy spider and twinkle twinkle little star. 
  • He's into this youtube song by Super Simple Learning.  The format goes as such: "Do you like broccoli? Yes I do, Yes I do. Do you like ice cream? Yes I do, Yes I do.  Do you like broccoli ice cream?  No I don't. Yucky!" It's hilarious to see him crack up.
  • This kid loves Trotro in French.  I'm not quite sure of how much he actually understands.
  • He's using all sorts of words now and of course only repeating words only when he feels like it.
  • He enjoys hopping, jumping, and has even done a skip once while playing with Dad.  Mom was impressed to say the least.
  • He loves his sister and says "hello" to her multiple times a day, brings her toys, gives her suffocating kisses, and is her protector and body guard.  When friends and strangers alike have come over to her car seat he'll stand his ground in front of her and clearly announce a "No!".
