Home with the Halls: 1/4 of a century + 1 day

http://gabrielanddorothy.blogspot.com/2010/01/14-of-century-1-day.html

January 16, 2010. 1/4 of a century 1 day. Yesterday was my 25th birthday. For my 23rd birthday, I was 7 months pregnant with Liam. Gabe and I had celebrated a few days before my actual day, so when the 15th rolled around, I was home alone feeling very pregnant, miserable, and just plain sorry for myself. Not so this year. My sister Molly, her husband Andres, and her circus partner, Rebecca, have all been here since Wednesday. We spent the day just hanging out around the house. Yes, she ate his poop.

Home with the Halls: potty training - day 4

http://gabrielanddorothy.blogspot.com/2010/01/potty-training-day-4.html

January 7, 2010. Potty training - day 4. Peed on the potty: once. Pooped on the potty: once. Times I had to dash to the bathroom with him already going: both times. Still, it's progress! Saturday, 09 January, 2010. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Friends, family, and favorites. A Scrapbook of Sorts. Adventures of a Peanut. And then there were 4. So much shouting, so much laughter. Still they were beautiful. The Adventures of Molly and Andres. The blossoms remind me. The walls fall, the story occurs.

Home with the Halls: a weekend visit and Liam on the swings

http://gabrielanddorothy.blogspot.com/2010/01/weekend-visit-and-liam-on-swings.html

January 27, 2010. A weekend visit and Liam on the swings. Our friends Rachael and Joseph flew out to visit us for the weekend. It was a pretty relaxed and low-key visit. Activities included grocery shopping and library perusing in Fayetteville, a chilly walk to the park, church Sunday morning, and making homemade pasta together. Liam wowed everyone with his potty training skills, all of which made for some nudity-induced funny moments. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Friends, family, and favorites.

Home with the Halls: mr. mechanic

January 10, 2010. Gabriel is good at many things, one of them being auto repair. Today he replaced a valve gasket on my mom's car with only the user manual as his guide. Way to go, Honey!

Home with the Halls: heat wave

http://gabrielanddorothy.blogspot.com/2010/01/heat-wave.html

January 18, 2010. Today warmed up to 63 degrees. After the last few week's near-zero temperatures, the weather today felt incredibly warm. Warm enough for a trip to the playground. Liam's coordination and courage are improving, especially when it comes to climbing. He went down the spiral slide, unassisted, a dozen times or so. Here is how it's done:. 1 Go up the stairs. 2 Run across the walkway. 4 Climb up the steps to the slide and sit down. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Scrapbook of Sorts.

Home with the Halls: Liam loves visitors

http://gabrielanddorothy.blogspot.com/2010/01/liam-loves-visitors.html

January 16, 2010. Molly, Andres, and Rebecca got to our house at 5 am Wednesday morning, after driving all 17 hours from Florida straight through. Liam was surprised to find Rebecca sleeping on the couch when he woke up. He kept pointing to her saying "What's that? When they woke up later in the morning, it didn't take Liam long at all to warm up to his Tia Molly, Tio Andres, and Rebecca. They brought him a very fun surprise. Fun times with Tia Molly.

Home with the Halls: a little show

http://gabrielanddorothy.blogspot.com/2010/01/little-show.html

January 18, 2010. On Friday, Molly, Rebecca, and Andres put on a little show for the kids at my mom and Linda's work. Molly and Rebecca did their body balancing act. And Andres did a shortened version of his chair act (the ceiling was low.). The kids really enjoyed the performance. Liam was the only one in the group who wouldn't sit still for the show. After it was over, the kids got to meet the performers. This little girl was especially thankful. She gave each of them big smooches on the cheek.

Home with the Halls: I think we're in business now

http://gabrielanddorothy.blogspot.com/2010/01/i-think-were-in-business-now.html

January 14, 2010. I think we're in business now. Liam went on the potty all by himself today. Update: by the time he went to bed tonight, he'd succesfully peed 2 more times and even pooped on the potty! All by himself. And NO ACCIDENTS on the floor! This is a huge step forward. We have spent the last week and a half making frequent runs to the potty with Liam shouting. He'd sit and try for long periods of time, but never could relax enough to go. And then. Clean up mess after mess later. I know the journ...
