Baby Boy!

Baby Gabe has had 3 great accomplishments in the last 24 hours!

1) Last night, he was up on all fours and crawled forward twice... not very far, but did actually do tnat crawling motion... it won't be long before he's off... I'd better start pulling out the safety locks!

2) This morning, he said MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have been working on this one for a LONG time! I was feeding him his bananas and oatmeal this morning when he shouted it out! I nearly dropped the bowl! I was SO excited! Then, I began to question myself... did he really say that or did I just THINK he said it when he was really saying something else... but over the course of the day he has said it about 5 more times and Jay and Jayce heard it tonight, so yea!!! It's about time I get some credit around here right?!

3) He REACHED for me! I have been trying to get him to do this forever too and he finally did today! That is the best feeling in the world!

We had a super mother's day Sunday out at the McLaughlin clubhouse... I will post a pic! Jayce, Gabe and daddy gave me a picture with palm trees that I wanted for my den,which I picked out for them, to save them all the headaches of shopping... Jayce also made me a card in Sunday School and Gabe gave me a small plant.. some type of pink lilly that is so cute! What thoughtful teachers they both have! I love mother's day and I LOVE my boys!
