Hey Baby, Let's Go to Vegas

Gage got to take his first official trip to Las Vegas. We went down and stayed with Ray's brother and his family in St. George, then we all took a day trip to Las Vegas so Gage could see the M&M Factory and Coke Factory and lots of other fun and amazing things! He loved it a lot and was very worn out by the end of the day, but he got to see great sights and have fun with his cousins for the weekend.

Halloween Fun

Gage is at a great age this Halloween and is able to really see what it's all about. He has fun going to all the Corn Mazes and Pumpkin patces, seeing the Jack-o-lanterns everywhere, and all the fun decorations and candy.
He wasn't too crazy about painting his pumpkin-which is odd because he'll spread food all over himself, but fingerpaint...creeped him out. I'm somewhat happy about it because he doesn't like getting all dirty, but every now and then may be okay.
But he did enjoy dressing up in his Cop Uniform and going to a Halloween Party for his dad's work. He loved seeing the decorations, seeing all the people, and playing all the fun games.

What a Week!

We had an eventful week with Gage and him being hurt. He loves climbing on the bed and running around and I try and catch him if it looks like he gets too close to the edge or posts, but this time I didn't get their quite fast enough and he banged his teeth right into the end post and left some teeth marks to prove it.
Gage also loves to play by the windows and look out, unfortunately one window he can look out is right by the dog dishes. Gage has played around the dogs eating before and Buddy has growled a time or two, but has never reacted any other way and we make Gage leave while they eat. This instance, Gage's foot slipped into Buddy's bowl and Buddy reacted on instinct rather than thought and bit Gage's foot quite badly. He can only imagine how lucky he is to be alive, but he does feel very, very sorry about hurting Gage. It wasn't a fun trip to the doctor to get the three very deep cuts cleaned and stitched up, I had to leave the room because it was too much for me to handle with seeing him cry and hearing him scream. You could hear him scream throughout the entire doctor's office.
Fortunately, Gage didn't even realize it was Buddy that hurt him because he laughed when the dogs came running inside to see him and didn't flinch when Buddy came up to him that night or the next morning while Gage was eating breakfast.
He wobbles around for now because of the bandages, but he is a brave little guy and doesn't scream or cry when he gets his bandages changed or anything.
I'm hoping this is the only time or at least one of the very few times we'll have stitches and there will be no casts for the future because I'm not sur how much more I can handle! His doctor shots are bad enough for me!!

SO TIRED

Gage doesn't want to go down for naps on the weekends as much as he used to, so I just turn on Baby Einstein Mozart, he crawls into his lazy boy and....



M&M Fun

Gage loves to eat M&M's and needs to savor every last bit of it...so...it ends up all over him and he is colored from head to toe!
