'Bert & Ernesto

One of Gil's favorite toys is Ernie. You've seen Ernie in many pics before as he is the steward of the changing table. I have to give Ernie credit for sticking with Gil. He's been showered numerous times by one of Gil's rainbow pees and Kristen fried his hair in the dryer after a wash. With Ernie's now-tight coiffure, we refer to him as Ernesto; the Spanish Ernie. If I was Ernie, I'd have bolted weeks ago!

This picture was taken by Kristen, Gil's nanny. Yep, Kristen. Saves me the hassle of having to remember a new name! But seriously, she's been awesome and Gil has warmed to her immediately.

Read the bib carefully. That has been a reality lately. Especially when he wakes up from naps. The morning wake up aside, Gilbert has been less than cordial to whoever has to handle him. He just seems to be waking up hard and let's you know it. I'm thinking about investing in earplugs! Usually after about five minutes he'll calm down, but sometimes he gets so worked up...
