Angels

I have a story I HAVE to share from today... I was leaving Talbots today, pushing my stroller, with Gabe sitting in his carrier positioned in the stroller.. it's one of those car to stroller carrier systems... headed to my car parked over by TJ MAxx... due to pick up Jayce in 15 minutes from mother's morning out, so I was definitely briskly walking... probably too briskly... Gabe's carrier flipped out of the stroller backwards and he tumbled onto the cement in his carrier... upside down... I freaked out, started crying and fell down to the ground to pick him up... he was screaming and I just held him and started rocking back and forth and COULD NOT stand up... i was so scared that he was going to be SO hurt... 4 people in the parking lot jumped out of their cars and came to help me put up my stroller, hold my bags, speed dial my pediatrician, and even hold Gabe while I talked to them... it was so nice of them b/c i really did lose it for a little while... Gabe is ok, slight bruise on his forehead from where he barely hit the ground... he has acted himself all day and his pupils are fine... but man, that was scary... I truly believe that little fella has got some angels watching over him... I am so thankful to God for keeping him safe and this made me realize once again how much I take the safety and health of my boys for granted...
If anyone ever does this with your carriers... be careful, and make sure it's locked in all the way... And,don't forget to thank God for watching over your children! I cannot thank him enough!

ALSO, on a lighter note... Gabe and Jayce got to stay with mimi and papa last weekend for Jay and I to go to our marriage retreat... we came back after a long weekend to a much bigger Gabe it seemed! Mimi had really gotten him into his solids and he went from spitting them out to reaching for them and opening his mouth like a little bird! He LOVES them! I am giving him fruit usually for breakfast and lunch and then a veggie for dinner, along with me feeding him still 5 times a day usually... he is sleeping super, 2 2-2 1/2 hr naps and 8-7:30 usually at night... LOVE this schedule!

Jayce now has gotten his big boy bunkbeds and is doing great on those! Of course we removed the ladder and he did ask the first time he saw them if he could climb up there, but after we said no, he's kind of ignored them now, so that's good... I will post pictures of his big boy room which is FINALLY complete once I get a new cable to replace my old one that decided to quit working...
