WOW! What a past couple of months it has been..so hectic i haven't even had a chance to update since his two month birthday :0( Well then it just means there is so much to catch up on!!
Gabe is just growing everyday in leaps and bounds that it continues to amaze me how fast his body and mind grows. It has been on more than one occasion that i am puttin him to bed only to look at his 20 pound body and just cry because it's gettin harder to remember him being so 7lbs. I know, it's all apart of life, but you just want to keep them so small so you can protect them and hug and cuddle without any objections..lol ::sigh:: God sure knows how to pace it though and gives us just enough time to enjoy our children in their most vulnerable stages of life. Just when i think i couldn't love him anymore, he gives me a smile or laugh and i just melt all over again. So what has my lil guy been up to you may ask...well lets give you the quick run down!
He is Laughing, smiling, coo, "holding conversations", giving kisses, i mean ...just leaps and bounds!..lol..His four month Birthday was today, and just looking at how he's sitting up better on his own and holding his bottle..i'm just so impressed at how fast he's learning. But out of everything that has come the most rewarding thing in the world to me now is that he recognizes me and Jerard. We were at my uncles house for the four of July and in the midst of everyone holding him and playing with him, when he saw me his world stop and he gave me the biggest smile. With Jerard, i love that when he comes home from work he will not lay down for his nap until he has grabbed the hair on his beard and they have done a lap around the house with Gabe as an airplane. It's just so rewarding, that no matter what is going on out here in the "real world" that it phases him none and he can still just be happy.
At month four not only am i proud of him, i am proud of us and i have no problem patting ourselves on the back. Since Gabriel has graced this planet, it has been just me and Jerard tackling and figuring this stuff out. No babysitter, no in town family coming to help...basically i should have never let the show baby story get my hopes up as to what support after a baby looks like..But we tackled it on our own nonetheless! And though we desperately need a vacation and I esp a unlimited refilled margarita; our son has helped us grow in ways that we couldn't have done on our own. Never would you catch me up at 6 am folding laundry; but now with that being my only "me time" , 6 am it is ..lol.So i embrace this part of my life help or not sometimes some of the best lessons are the ones that you learn on your own.
So as i close out the night, i would like to wish my beautiful baby boy a happy 4 month birthday...Mommy and Daddy just love you so much :0)
