Gabe's Nurse

Jonathan saw this article in the Tennessean after Gabe was born. The lady that won it was Gabe's nurse...just one for the baby books.

8 Months Old and Mother's Day

Gabe was 8 months old on the 10th which was was also Mother's Day - lucky for me because we actually took a picture before we left for church. What is Gabe doing at 8 months? Well, he can crawl (very well), pull up on just about anything, climb a baby gate halfway (can't get back down or actually go over), eat just about everything (desserts excluded), have a "bad cough" and his very most favorite thing to do....hang off of my pant leg crying to be picked up then hang off my hip....all day please. I struggle between finding it very annoying and inconvenient to knowing that it is going to be soooo short lived and soon he will be running around not really caring if I am in the room or not. Don't get me wrong, he is a sweet, happy baby - as long as someone is holding him! Sorry to diss you on your own page, Gabe but the whole time I have been updating your blog you have been crying hanging onto my pant leg....

Happy Birthday Kingston

Gabe and Camden had fun "playing" together. Gabe spent most of his time admiring Camden's mouth (by putting his hands in it) and his hair.

Swimming

NO, the water is not really green even though it looks like it!

We went to Memphis for Kingston's 4th birthday party. The kids were thrilled to swim in the indoor pool and knowing how much Gabe loves baths, we thought for sure he would love to swim. He did like the water but it would have been better if it were a little warmer. He enjoyed putting his feet in the hot tub more.

Derby Day

Jockey Gabe

We celebrated the KY Derby by making some beautiful hats. I made Gabe's and the kids thought it was a little girly but he is, after all, wearing a Derby hat....
