All laughs

Here is a video only grandparents can enjoy. It is a little long - I will remember that for next time....and as usual, disregard the baby talk!

5 months and woozle hair

Donald Trump hair or as Brooke calls it a frullett (front mullett) - whatever you want to call it, Gabe has it. It might be cute on a girl with a bow but it looks pretty silly on him. I have already trimmed the hair over his ears but the comb over is next. Here is a last look AND he is 5 months old today. Some highlights are he can modified "crawl". He will stick his head into the ground then lift his torso off the ground and push with his legs. It is very effective for him. It only happens if he is set down on the ground long enough to get mad. This has not happened in the past two days as Nana and Pepaw have been here! Everyday we notice more similarities between Gabe and Ella - that will be a post for another day...right now the woozle is calling.

What a day...

Gabe had a great day yesterday. He had cereal for the first time AND he attended his first circus!

Now I know!

Jude was playing with Gabe tonight and he said "Mama, I do love my brother" (great news to hear) "We were poor before we had Goobey Gabe and now we are not". I said we were poor in what? and Jude said "love - now we are not". How sweet! I guess that makes up for stepping on his head on Monday with his cowboy boots on?

Just found it

I was going through old pictures and just found this one from the hospital. Unfortunately I can't get it to post to an older post so out of date, here it is.

Four month visit

All started off well. I got Gabe in for his 4 month "well" visit the same day Ella had her 6 year old "well" visit. It was uneventful - you know, coloring in the lobby (Ella, not Gabe), Ella was weighed, had her eyes checked, ears checked - then the wheels fell off. Ella started crying, Gabe started crying and Dr. Keith came in. A flashlight and about 5 minutes revealed Gabe had an ear infection and Ella had strep throat! So much for being well. The stats for 4 months are: weight 13lbs 3 ounces (15%); height 25 3/4 inches (77%); head circumference 16 (12%). The magic paper says we can start him on cereal and DO NOT leave baby unattended on a bed, couch or around water...too late, he fell off the bed on Tuesday.

The self proclaimed

baby hoggers came to town!! Lindsay, Ronnie, Megan and Katie came to visit us while they were on Christmas break! Gabe was so excited to meet everyone and as you can see, didn't mind the baby hogging one bit!

Gabe's new buddy

Here he is - we didn't have to wait as long as we had thought to meet Baby Heath! Congrats Casey, Marilyn, Audie and Jenna!!!
