Cereal!

Gabe had his first taste of "real" food today....cereal! I don't think he quite knew what to make of it.

"What is this stuff?"

Dribble, dribble


I love the face he's making!

Unsolved Mystery

This is what I discovered at 7:55 AM this morning....


This is definitely not what Gabe was wearing when I put him to sleep last night around 8! Why was he wearing shorts? Where are his socks?

Well apparently when David got up with him around 6 he had tee teed on his pj bottoms so David put on his shorts... too funny!

Wordless Wednesday

"I'm No Longer Doubtful of What I'm Living For"

Happy four month birthday my sweet little man! I know I say this every month but I can't believe how quickly time is passing! This morning Daddy said to you "well Gabe you're a third of a year today" and I nearly started crying!

You've had quite a month sweet boy....

• You've started rolling over. It cracks me up every time you do it because once you've rolled over you look at us like what the heck just happened!
• You are all hands. You are grabbing for everything...your crab, your duck and frog on your car seat, Mommy's hair- anything and everything!
• And speaking of hands they are your favorite toy right now. They are always in your mouth! And you've become quite the little drool monster!
• You like to stand on Mommy and Daddy's legs and look all around. You're so strong!
• I can sum you up in one word- Big! It's what everyone says when they see you! You are quite the growing boy. You are in the 95% percentile for height and weight. You may only be 4 months old but you're wearing 6 months sometimes 9 months clothes.
• I'm sad to say that you've lost most of your hair. Hopefully it'll start growning back soon!
• You're still sleeping through the night from about 8:30P- 6:30A and you now sleep unswaddled.
• You are doing so well at Ms. Tammy's. I think you love all the attention you get from her and the other kids.
• You spent your first weekend away from Mommy and Daddy! You had such a fun hanging out with Monie and Pappy and visiting with Uncle Marty, Honey and Cousin Olivia!

One exciting thing to look forward to this next month....football season! Mommy and Daddy can't wait to see you in all of your LSU gear cheering on the Tigers!

Happy birthday baby boy! Everyday with you is an adventure and we can't wait to see what comes next!

Love you bunches and bunches!
Mommy and Daddy

Here you are this morning showing off your rolling skills!

Nite Nite

Monie and Pappy gave Gabe some super cute jammies as part of his Baptism gift and really who doesn't love new jammies!

Nite Nite Monie! Nite Nite Pappy!

Whole Lotta Baby!

Gabe was scheduled to have his 4 month check-up with his pediatrician Monday but he's been battling diarrhea and a very bad diaper rash for the last two days so we moved up his appointment to today. The doctor said the diarrhea and rash should clear up in a few days and not to worry...easier said than done. Poor baby screams every time we change his diaper but once it's over he's back to being his happy self!

Anyway he was weighed and measured and boy oh boy is he getting big. He's now 18 lbs and 8 ounces and is 26 and 7/8 inches long! Ninety- fifth percentile on both! No wonder the first thing out of everyone's mouth when they see his is "He's so big!" Oh and just to put his size in perspective....my friend Lisa's ten month old Davis is weighing 18 pounds also!

The doctor said we can introduce rice cereal. I can only imagine the funny stories, pictures and videos that's going to bring!

This is a very common position for Gabe lately.... one hand in his mouth and the other grabbing his foot!

You can see the band aid from his shots.

Man Time

I took this video the other night. David and Gabe love to "talk" to each other when David gets home from work. They went on for much longer than the 30 seconds I filmed.... too cute!
