Laughing with Daddy

Talking, Talking, Talking

Gabriella and Isabella both are talking up a storm.  It is so funny when I go pick them up most babies would say "Mommy" but no Gabriella says "Hey Baby!".  Thanks to her Dad.  It is hilarious.  This is what he always says when he comes home.  Also Gabriella has started to say "Bless you"  when you sneeze it is the cutest.  Isabella is still not talking as much but she is working on it.  They both have such big hearts you can already tell.  When I give one child a sippy cup she waits until I give her another one so that she can take it to "sissy".  They will do the same thing with blankets if Isabella gets a blanket she will look around until she finds another one to take to "sissy".  It is precious they are just growing up way too fast!

So little Time

I cannot believe that my girls are about to be 15 months old.  Where does all the time go?  Gabriella and Isabella continue to light up my world every day.  They are talking up a storm now.  Gabriella more than Isabella but I think Isabella's stopped up ears are to blame for this.  Gabriella will call her sister.."Issee"  it is the cutest thing you have ever heard.  They also both affectionately call Odell "Bubba" (for those of you that don't know Odell is our 5 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier).  It has not gotten any easier taking them to daycare every morning.  I could just snuggle up and play all day with them!  Plus they have started walking themselves into day care.  They want me to put them down and they go strutting down the hall like "Yea look at me, I'm walking, I'm walking!"  They both love to sing and seem to want to be female wrestlers.  Isabella is all the time tackling Gabriella and putting her in the choke hold.  Look out Bremen High School...no one will mess with the Labbe/Pruitt girls!  I have a feeling they will rule the school when Macie is a Senior, Ella a Junior and Gabby & Izzy Sophmores!

Funny Story

So this week has been amazing at the Labbe house. Eric has been home all week and we have been sending the girls to day care for part of the day so we have really have got a lot done around the house. This morning Eric was getting the girls ready to go and I was helping him. He gave the girls their brand new toothbrushes from Grammies and he started to sing the "Brushy, Brushy" song from Grease. I was watching as Eric and my precious daughters were brushing their teeth...not uncommon something they do every morning before I go to work. Then I hear Eric say, "Isabella you have toothpaste all over your mouth." I think to myself that is funny because their toothpaste is clear. I say to Eric, "Did you give them adult toothpaste??" He says no whatever is in this tube right here. Well turns out Dad likes to brush the girls teeth with hand lotion!! HA HA HA Eric and I laughed so hard we almost died. The girls were even giggling too!

Christmas Time

The girls are growing so fast! I cannot believe we are about to celebrate our 2nd Christmas together it is totally unbelievable. They continue to amaze me everyday. They are both walking all over the place and it is adorable to see. Both girls are bow legged just like their Daddy. Eric has been out of town working for a month in a half or so and he has been back for about two weeks now and it is such a blessing to have him home! Gabby and Izzy both talk up a storm. Gabby talks more than Izzy but we think that is because Isabella had so much fluid on her ears until just recently and she finally got tubes. She seems to be a whole new baby. They say Mama, Dada, Pops a ru, Bubba, uh oh, juice, ahola, hello, bye, bu bye, toot toot, and my personal favorite do do! They have many other words that they attempt to say. They are so funny together. They have gotten to where they will chase each other around the house and Isabella will tackle Gabriella it is hilarious. They play well together most of the time. Isabella does seem to be our little fireball. She is a head butter and a slapper. She can also pitch some pretty dramatic fits...I have no idea where she gets the drama. Also Isabella has the best toothy grin ever it just melts your heart. Gabriella does not pitch too many fits but when she gets mad enough she will make herself pass out. Because of this we recently had to take her to Scottish-rite (Children's hospital in Atlanta) to have an EEG and make sure she is o.k. We do not have the results yet though but are expecting them tomorrow or Wednesday. So keep us in your prayers. I am pretty confident she is just holding her breath but we will see. There are so many new things to tell about the girls I do not know where to go next...I will end the post by saying that the girls new fun game is to get into Odell's kennel and hide. They love it and just totally crack up when you find them.

My babies are growing up

I know I am getting really bad at this. The girls are growing up so fast it is crazy. Gabriella has begain to take some steps but she still prefers to crawl. Isabella has not really taken any steps yet but I am sure it will be any day now. They continue to bless Eric and I day in and day out. They have mastered saying "Da Da" which they seem to perfer over "Ma Ma". They also like to say "Uh oh" and "bu Bye". They enjoy waving to everyone as well. They seem to be the little Labbe welcoming committee every time we go some where. We took them to the homecoming parade and they waved to everyone in the parade the entire time it was adorable. They continue to very mischevious. Gabriella will empty out a kitchen cabinet and then Isabella will get into the cabinet.

It has been a while

These are some pictures we had taken of the girls in July! They are both getting so big now it is crazy. They both have been teething like crazy. Gabriella has 6 teeth and Isabella has 6 too! They are still crawling all over the place and are fast as lightning. They seem to be trying to walk but I am not helping them in anyway. Both girls will wave and say bye now as well as mama, dada and uh oh. They just might be the two cutest girls in the world. They make Eric and I laugh everyday and I still cannot believe how much God has blessed us. Both of the girls are now in daycare and they seem to be loving it! They usually go right to the people in the morning and wave bye to me. No crying for these girls. They are going to be very mischievous too. Gabriella loves to open and close doors and Isabella is very curious. It is quite the combination. Gabriella opened the kitchen cabinet the other day and Isabella climbed right in...so Gabriella shut her in the cabinet. I opened the door and she was just sitting there grinning. Gabriella also does this crazy spin move that totally cracks Eric and I up. She will be sitting on her booty and she will do a full 360. It is hilarious...who knows maybe she will be a break dancer. She has also started making the most awful face thanks to Grammies Pruitt. Both girls love to go to church they totally rock out during praise and worship it just makes you want to bust into tears. Last Sunday Gabriella danced and held up her hands the entire praise and worship I have to imagine that such pure innocent worship melts Jesus' heart. I have to think that that is exactly how he would like us all to worship. It is crazy that our own children are strengthening our walk with Christ. I pray everyday that I can give these girls all they need spiritually and physically because they have already given Eric and I more than we could ever imagine. What a true blessing from above!
