We had a rough, late (early?) night last night. Gabriel woke up about 11:30 PM (right around his usual time) and cried so hard and long that he actually woke Chloe – who is normally a very sound sleeper. And then they both went back and forth taking turns waking each other up until about 2am. That was fun. We ended up taking Chloe into bed with us to remove one half of the equation. At that point, they both slept soundly until it was time for their morning feeding. So, I’m dragging this AM.

Speaking of the babies, Gabriel spoke his first word the other day. Of course, it was a non-sense word, but it was [b]SO[/b] clear and he repeated it [b]so[/b] many times that I’m calling it his [i]unofficial[/i] first word. The word was “naduck”.

Actually getting out of the house the other day, I went for a good bike ride with John on Monday morning. We hit the [url=http://www.njskylands.com/pkkitt.htm]Sussex Branch Trail[/url] again in an attempt to ride all the way up to Newton. I didn’t think I would be able to go the whole way since this was the first real ride this season and we had a limited amount of time that morning. I was right, we only made it up to Andover. But I feel like I could have done the whole thing if we had more time. Although the day began sort of gray and cloudy, it cleared up and was a perfect May morning.
