Gabriel Is 1 Month Old Already!

Mr. Gabriel is officially 1 month old! I really am amazed! The pregnancy flew so now, of course, his LIFE is starting to proceed quickly! Life with 6 is a constant and busy beehive of activity, thus I can't just sit and stare at his handsome little self very often! At two weeks he had gained a pound over his birth weight. Now as I weigh him with me on the scale he is up 2 1/2 pounds! He has been attentive to his little lion toy that you can see in the bassinet picture. He has reached for it several times which is pretty early for a baby. Today he smiled while WIDE awake and being held by Jacob. He wasn't looking at anyone in particular, but it was adorable, of course!

They Say the Darndest Things

Dan: "Mom, Is your milk like the milk with the red lid?"

Dan again: "I just want to get a look at Gabriel's adorable face" (He knows the baby is said to look like him)

Dan again: "Mom! The fish is on the floor!" When our Betta fish, Cotton Candy, decided to leap out of the bowl and I had to pick it up and rescue it!

Jacob: "On Wednesday, we decorate, please?" (For Christmas, mind you!) (Everything is Wednesday with him!)

Leah: "whant hold babyol" (She calls Gabriel "Babyol" and climbs up on the couch and puts the Boppy pillow around her waist)
