In love

He loves to jam his hand into his mouth. He is now 2 mths!

Gabriel has been such an immense blessing in our lives. I cannot begin to express how in love I am with him. Him and his dad are my absolute angels. Everything he does is just so cute...from spitting up, to pooping, to smiling and giggling. It's funny how babies can do no wrong. I love taking care of him. I feel like he is growing up too fast. I love holding him, and talking to him. Watching his face light up to a smile, and then a bigger smile just melts my heart. He loves to giggle and talk and talk. We think he might be a chatterbox. So far the verdict in our home is that he has most of my personality. My parents say that I loved to talk when I was a baby. So far it's looking like Gabriel might be the same way. He also has my frown. It's so funny. He just seems to have a go- getter type personality. While he is such an angel, he is also full of mischief in his face! I always know when he's going to try to pee when I'm changing him. He gets this smirk... like "i'm getting back at you for this or that", and sure enough you see his huge stream in the air. It lands everywhere. It just cracks us up. He's got all sorts of sides to him, he is stubborn, mildly dramatic, happy, sweet, mischievous, but most of all he is just so sweet and loving. He loves to cuddle with you and to infect you with all the love he came to this earth with. It's so strange that as a mother, you have a feeling as to how they are going to turn out in life. I'm so interested to see if he really will turn out the way I think. After all, something I've learned is that a person's personality is constant all through life. Characteristics can change here and there, but their personality is set from the time they are a baby.

I just love Gabriel so much. When I look into his eyes I can see so much of life in him. It's like I can see all that he will go through. I see so much vulnerability in his stare, it makes me both happy and sad. It makes me happy because I know he is in a state of perfect innocence. However, his vulnerability makes me sad because I know that he can be so easily harmed, without any defense. Luckily though, he is surrounded by so much love! It comforts me and brings a big smile to both Gabriel and I. He knows he is immensely loved.

On another note...he already tries to walk! He has been doing it for the longest time. If you just hold some of his weight, he will take steps and it's incredible how he has the coordination to do that. He started doing that like 3-4 weeks ago. He constantly kicks his legs and tries to move like there is somewhere he needs to be! It so funny. I walked when I was 8 months, and maybe he will too! It's amazing how babies are a reflection of their parents. To know that David and I created this perfect little thing just blows my mind. We love him so much and he certainly makes our life fun. I feel so privileged that Gabriel picked us to be his parents, all the way from heaven. He must have known that I needed a little ball of love like him! He is definitely heaven sent.

Below are some pictures of what we've been up to:

I love this picture of David and Gabriel.


David blessed Gabriel at our church this past Sunday. He did a good job. :) Gabriel wore a white collared shirt with a black tie, a gray vest and black pants. He looked so handsome. For some reason, all he wanted to do the first half of that day was sleep! So we didn't get any pics of him awake. But check out his belly hanging out above! So funny.


I love cuddling with him. I could do it all day.

See his eyes! So vulnerable.

Mischievous!

My sweet angel!
