"Rest Your Head Close to My Heart Never to Part, Baby You're Mine"

Dear Gabriel,

Daddy and I can't believe that you are a half year old today! It was just about this time 6 months ago that the nurse brought you into my room and left you with me and Daddy. What an amazing time for the three of us! I was pretty tired but I remember Daddy walking you around the room and reading to you from the signs posted around the room... too sweet! That moment seems like yesterday and at the same time seems so long ago. We can hardly remember what the world was like before you made your way into it.

You are growing and changing so much....here's what you've been up to!
  • You can nearly sit up. You actually sit up for a few seconds before falling to your side.
  • You are still a great sleeper! You usually sleep from 7:45 to between 6:30 and 7.
  • We're introduced baby food to you. You've had green beans, squash and bananas so far and you seem to love them all.
  • You are getting very close to saying Dada! You are always babbling about something.
  • You cut two teeth and never once showed any signs of teething other than drooling!
  • You are such the social butterfly! You love to be out and about.
  • You now fall asleep on your own for naps and at bedtime. Such a big man but Mommy sure does miss holding you close!
  • You are the happiest little man I have ever met. You pretty much only cry when you're tired or hungry.
  • You are loving your jumper! You go to town in that thing!
  • You also are just a rolling machine...back and forth and back and forth.
You are without a doubt sweeter and more adorable than we could have ever imagined, and we love being your mama and dada!

Love you bunches and bunches, Mommy and Daddy

These next two pictures totally sum up your personality these days!
