This is awesome! Its just like the ones at school! except i don't have to share! (not one of my favorite things to do right now)

I woke up at 5 am, so mommy and daddy let me go back to sleep with them. This is me coming down the stairs. What the duck is going on here? When i went to sleep none of this was here! This is very weird!

Sorry its sideways! this is christmas before Gabriel woke up!

Dont worry, there are tons of presents hiding behind the Santa Gifts!

End of 2009

I know its been way too long for me to update Gabriel blog, I am very sorry. This Year has been one of the craziest, busiest, faster years I think i have ever had, but it has been great! We moved to California, I got out of the navy, we bought a house, Gabriel and i both started school, and Gabriel turned two! He is now 32 pounds and three feet tall! He is a giant among his friends at Daycare! We are all doing really well here and loving California! Gabriel is talking so much and learning new things so fast! Sometimes think he is smarter than Steve and I! He plays games on my Iphone! I couldn't have asked for a better family! We love and miss you all! Happy New Year!

June 17th Dr appt

Hi everyone! Well the Doctor here sure isn't DR McCray( if you're reading this we miss you) but she'll have to do. She is amazed at how big I am. 36 1/2 inches and 27 pounds! She says i am the average size of a two year old and growing fast! I am talking more and more everyday,my favorite words and woof and mo! (more) and of course mama and dada! I am no longer using the pacifier at all and moma seems to think that is helping me talk but i just think its time! well I love you all and hope to see you all soon!

18 months and comfy in my new home

Hi everyone! Well I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone who helped us get settled in our new home! and to let you know how much i love it here. I have free reign of the whole house and thanks to the gates the outside too! I have to so much fun climbing up and down the stairs and in and out of the doors! So much to explore! The weather is great, about 70 degrees everyday so far and sunny! I love being outside and if i cant be outside I am at the window calling dada!I am glad to be home from my vacation, me and mommy are having so much fun! We cook and we clean and chase each other around the house all day. Momma is going to miss me when she starts school and work again. I am growing so fast i started wearing toddler clothes recently. Yep,2T! I am growing so fast momma can hardly believe it! Well Back to playing with my toys! i love you all!

1 Year!

Wow! I cant believe its been a whole year! He went from a helpless newborn to a real person, a little man. Right in front of my eyes! Gabriel has been nothing but a joy in my life and i cant imagine a day without him! He amazes me everyday and I wish everyone could be here to share the joy and excitement with me. To see him walk, hear him talk, feel his kisses. All simple things that bring a smile to my face just thinking about. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who was at the party or helped make it such a great day. I am sorry you couldn't be there. I love you all and hope to see you all soon.

love,

Genea

P.S. Gabriel loves you too!

7 months old

I had a Dr.'s appointment today..just a check up..i am a very healthy baby, I have two teeth and am strong enough to be crawling everywhere and trying to stand. I also got a shot. I am such a big boy i didnt even cry, i might have given mom some "i will get even" looks , but i smiled at the nurse and was other wise a perfect little boy. I weight 18 lbs! I am getting so big mom had to raise up the exersaucer to the last level! Daddy jokes that by the time he gets home I will be as tall as mommy. I think he might be right!

6 Month Check up

Hi everyone!

As you all know i turned 6 months on the 7th. I had my appointment with Dr. Mrcray then too. I had some awful shots and then she told me how big and strong i was! I am 16.3 pounds and I am 28 and a half inches long! That puts me in the 40th percentile for my weight( same as always) and the 93rd for my height! I am taking after my daddy, super tall. Dr. McCray was amazed that i am crawling and sitting up on my own. I dont usually crawl, just scoot but i had to show off for her! Well I love you all and wish I could be there with everyone of you but it hink my mommy would miss me too much!

Love,

Gabriel
