We did a lot of fun and fantastic things this year and, of course, added a baby to the mix.  Take a look at our 2010 “Christmas letter” — a personalized memory game that I made on Match The Memory.  Have fun playing it!

Tonight when we were coming home from Grandma Gibby’s house, we were playing games made up by a 5-year-old. (Audrey said, “Let’s play a game called, ‘Let’s see if you can sing a song that you know’. How you play is, you sing a song that you know.”) When we got to the game called […]

The set-up When Sarah was about 20 weeks along with this baby, she began to lobby for us to not find out what the gender was until the baby was actually born.  After all, she figured, we could be surprised by learning if it was a boy or a girl at 20 weeks, or at […]

Nathan has gotten the hang of several words recently.   He’s had “uh-oh” down pat for quite some time, but now he’s branching out: “Wa-wa” (water), “Na-na” (banana, his most-requested food), “Apo” (apple), “Da-da”, “Hi”, “Up”, “Anen” (at the end of prayers, with arms crossed nonetheless), and my favorite — “E-I-E-I-O”. He also really likes […]

Here’s an impersonal Christmas letter from the Gibby family: http://www.curtisgibby.com/christmas2008 I tried my best to make it interesting and somewhat interactive — have fun reading it!

At ten months, Nathan has been learning to stand on his own. At first, he didn’t trust himself on his feet.   As soon as he realized he was up alone, he’d immediately sit down — but it was a controlled sit.   So we would distract/bribe him with a treat or toy and he’d […]

Based on real events of the morning of Nov. 1, 2008 What’s this? I’m awake all of a sudden.   Judging by how dark it still is, probably about 4:30 in the morning.   So long as I’m up, the rest of the family might as well be.   Let’s start wailing to see if […]

My family’s always had an affinity for the film Young Frankenstein — we’d always get a laugh by saying “What knockers!   Oh, thank you!” or “Frau Blucher {horse whinny}”.   I even caught myself mentally referring to a kid dressed up like Frankenstein’s Monster as a “little zipper-neck” at our ward party the other […]

You’ve all been asking yourselves, “Where’s our 7 and a half month old update on Nathan Gibby?”   Right here, that’s where. Nathan has become a very busy baby.   He got into the commando scoot about a month ago, but now he’s full-on into crawling, and he’ll go anywhere in the room if you […]

Since Audrey was a very young baby, she has sucked her thumb.   It was great for us when she was tiny, because it meant she could comfort herself and stay asleep all night.   No 2 a.m. feeding for that 7-month-old!   (You hear me, Nathan?!) But for the last year or so, it […]
