Here we are 2 years later. Gabe just turned four. Since the last post, he has been potty trained, and so many more things. He had to have a wide brimmed hat to ride the tractor-mower with Dad so I bought him this cowboy hat. He loves to ride the tractor with me. He always asks if we can go mow. He's now wearing a 4T in clothes and a size 12 shoe. He likes to trace letters in his dry erase book, loves to hear me read Bible stories off my cell phone - or loves to be read to from just about any book around.<br />
<br />
I've been telling myself I need to write in my blog because he has several "Gabe-isms" that are uniquely his creations. <br />
<br />
He loves his Mama's ganana (banana) bread. He also loves a nice "gaprise" (surprise)! <br />
<br />
We started a little game a few weeks ago - I will say "I love you Gabriel" and he responds "I love you too Daddy", then I say "I love you more" and he used to say "I love you most" but I got to say it once and he said "I love you most-est" then he started saying "most-ester". Yes, he has quite an imagination. He has an imaginary brother named Ronny.<br />
<br />
His Mama has posted plenty of pics on her Facebook account over the last two years. <br />

He went to visit Dr. Newnam last Wednesday for his 2 year old check up. He measured 36 inches and 31 pounds. He's in the upper ninetieth percentile for his height and upper eighties percentile for his weight. He has grown soooooo fast and just keeps going.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, we gave Gabe's high chair to Grandpa and Grandma Jean Swanson before they left our house to go visit Grandma Jean's granddaughter in Arkansas. Gabe really hadn't climbed into the high chair for a couple of weeks or so. He's been using his "booster" chair on one of our dining room chairs. We call it his "big boy" chair. After they left, I realized that we just crossed another threshold and phase in Gabe's life. He's moving out of the baby stage and into "toddlerhood". We've already talked about moving his diaper changing table out of his room and giving it to the church. He's getting so big, it's becoming a real challenge to lift him up to the top of the changing table.<br />
<br />
I can't believe it has been two years already. Two years ago he would lay in the palm of my hand and his head reached by elbow. Now he is half as tall as me! Two years ago, it was tiny little bottles of formula every couple of hours. Now he devours green beans, broccoli, milk, pork sausage and a lot of Cheerios!<br />
<br />
Enjoy the party!<br />

It is what it is! So Grampie and me made the executive decision to go ahead and bring Mommy down here permanently the weekend of the Feb. 17th. It just so happened that Mommy and Daddy started their respective jobs on the exact same day, March 19th. Mommy went to work as a housekeeper at Oklahoma Methodist Manor and Daddy went to work as a dispatcher for Coca-Cola Refreshments. They also found a house to buy on 3 acres just north of Rogers State University in Claremore, OK. It's really a beautiful place. We close on Friday April 27th and can't wait to move in.<br />
<br />
We took Gabriel to his six month check up a couple weeks past his six month date because of the move and all; but both Mommy and Daddy were able to go. We went to Dr. Michael Newnam and he passed with flying colors. He measured 27" and 15lbs 14oz. which was a gain of 1/2 inch and 4 oz. I asked Doc about only a 4oz weight gain and he explained that Gabe is a lot more active now and burning more calories. I had to agree with that statement. He's in a constant state of motion it seems. Doc said he's in the 25th percentile for his weight yet still in the normal range.<br />
<br />
He started eating solid foods at six months and has been steadily increasing. At six months 5.5 oz and now he's downing 7oz. He likes green beans, peas, carrots, squash, mac & cheese, and all the fruits. So he's NOT a picky eater. It's funny to watch him because he "lunges" at the spoon with food on it. If you're not feeding quite fast enough he lets you know about by hollering out loud.<br />
<br />
Today, Easter Sunday, he's really made great progress in sitting up by himself. He can sit up and when he begins to teeter he can correct himself. He has also got to the point where he can turn himself over really easy when laying on his tummy onto his back and of course he can flip over from his back to his tummy. When you lay him in the crib just after you rock him to sleep he usually rolls over onto his right side.<br />
<br />
Gabe started drooling pretty heavily when he turned four months. People told us that is a sign that the teething process is beginning. The first tooth broke through on March 24th and the second one was April 3rd; both on the bottom in the front.<br />
<br />
So I know you're all ready for pics. Here you go-<br />

There has indeed a number of things that transpired and we need to get caught up.<br />
<br />
Gabe took his first long multi-stop "road trip" Christmas weekend. We first stopped at Grammie and Grampie's house on Friday night the 23rd, then got up Saturday and proceeded to go on down to Uncle Jay & Auntie Tammy's house along with Madison, Leah, Jameson & Noah. Christmas was great and so good to spend time with family. I just discovered that all my pics must be back in KC because they're not on this laptop.<br />
<br />
We came back from Christmas and our movers showed up two days later on Tuesday morning to move us from our Lenexa apartment to a 3 bedroom house in Kansas City, KS. I told Tamala that I NEVER want to move during the holidays again! That move cost us $900 and some change! <br />
<br />
Thursday, January 5th I took Gabe for his 4 month check up (which was late because the Dr.'s office had to re-schedule the original appmnt to a later date). Gabe weighed in at 15lbs. and 10.5 onces and 26.5 inches long!! When the Kelly, the Physicans Assistant asked me what formula Gabe was on and I replied rahter matter-of-factly "Goats milk"; you should've seen the look on her face when she did a double take and asked me "did you say goat's milk?" "Yes, goat's milk" I replied. She wasn't exactly pleased but I assured her that Gabe had probably a 95% or better improvement on his spitting up issue, he was gaining weight and growing longer so I was pleased with that. She said they just don't know a lot about goat's milk so they don't have any frame of reference to go from when considering it but "I'll check with Dr. Kahler and see what he says and call you." Which she did and called me a couple days later and said again they don't really know a lot about goats milk and we need to be careful feeding Gabe non-homogenized and pasturized milk. She said that Dr. Kahler had mentioned that back when he was an intern, his chief of staff said something about "Formula is for babies and goats milk is for kids". I SO wanted to retort with "and cows milk is for calves" but I didn't feel that I would really accomplish anything by doing that so I didn't. I took Gabe to day care and dropped him off after the appointment and went to work. Later that evening I got a call from Pat Orscheln, who hired me, and he said he had bad news. He told me that Bill Grojean, owner of the company was making cut-backs and "they were letting me go." I certainly didn't see that one coming. <br />
<br />
Since I was out of a job, I contacted Gabriel's daycare provider and asked what her policy is for stopping the day care service. She normally receives two weeks notice but was willing to let us get by on one week's notice. So Gabe was taken to daycare when Mommy went to work and I would look for employment during the day.<br />
<br />
By Thursday, it finally hit me. Kansas City had cast it's ballot for the third time in eight months by terminating my employment so I was beginning to get the idea that I wasn't supposed to stay in KC any longer. I wondered how I would tell Tamala. Well Tamala took it just all in stride and was ready, willing and able to make a move to another place. We decided Tulsa, OK would be the place to go. So I picked up the phone and called Grammie & Grampie and said "Well, you're finally going to get your way. We'ved decided to move to Tulsa." <br />
<br />
"Praise God!!!" came the exclamation from Grammie and Grampy had a similar response. <br />
<br />
Gabe and I stayed the remainder of the weekend to spend time with Mommie but Monday morning at 7am he and I had packed up the van and headed to Tulsa. Grammie had said she would be more than willing to keep watch over Gabe while I looked for work. We arrived just befor that Monday morning and unloaded what we had brought down.<br />

</tbody></table>This past Sunday morning Mommie fed Gabe his first spoonfuls of cereal while Grammie snapped a few pics.<br />
<br />
Later that week, when Daddy wasn't up yet because Gabe woke up several times during the night. Grammie sneeks in the room and gets baby Gabe out of bed and takes him to eat breakfast with her and Grampie. This is what happens when there are grandparents around without an adult to supervise them:<br />

I've been trying to catch it on video but as soon as he sees the camera he stops and just looks at the camera. I'll have to go into "stealth" mode; but I WILL get him doing it. It's PRICELESS!<br />

Thanksgiving 2011 had an entirely different meaning for us. Looking back, it all began back in February when we "got the call" asking if we would consider adopting an unborn baby. This was a call we'd been waiting on for nearly four years! <br />
<br />
Then there was the "change up" thrown at me in mid-April when I lost my job. But Jehovah Jirah, our Provider, showed up more times than we could count over the next several months. We never missed a bill, always had gas money, never went without! All of our needs were met, on time, every time! I sold my pickup truck within 15 minutes of listing it on Craigslist and got the full asking price out of the buyer. He never tried to haggle with me - he really liked the truck and paid in CASH! Even during a time when the money was even close to what we were used to making, the adoption expenses started coming in and every expense was met, on time every time! God supplied me a temporary job at exactly the right time for the income to be listed on paperwork that was being submitted to the Judge who would be the one to grant the adoption.<br />
<br />
<br />
Albeit we lost our Shirley Lou in early August, I am still thankful that God gave her as my second "Mama". She was a stalwart in the faith! I am thankful that she leaves behind a legacy of faith!<br />
<br />
Then baby Gabriel made his entrance into the world and right into our hearts the night of August 26th. He finally arrived and was BEAUTIFUL! He's here, healthy and perfect in every way. It was like the circle of life was starting over again after putting Aunt Shirley to rest and then welcoming this new little life into our hearts.<br />
<br />
There has been intermittent sleep, spit ups, wet diapers, dirty diapers, lots of dirty clothes, baby toys, baby furniture, baby this and baby that; ALL for which I am MOST thankful!<br />
<br />
October 11th is a special day in our family now. It is officially "GOTCHA" day! The day that we went before the Judge and he made everything official by signing the Order and declaring that this baby boy would now be known as GABRIEL JUDAH PALMER. As he was making this declaration, I held my breath and time stood absolutely still. Finally, I could truly breathe again because he was ours, wholly, completely and legally.<br />
We have a son and his name means: Strong man of God, full of Praise, and a Palm bearing Christian.<br />
<br />
This past Sunday during our time of worship, I simply had to scoop Gabe up from Mommy's arms and take him down to the alter. There I knelt down to give God "thanks" for the gift that He has given to Tamala and I. There simply wasn't a word that I could utter that could sufficiently render proper thanks to the Father. It came in the form of groaning and weeping and offering this baby back to Him who has entrusted this little one to us. It was caught on film by our church photographer -<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Fifty years! It has been fifty years of waiting. Fifty years of hearing people tell me what a great Daddy I would be. Fifity years of wondering if and when it will happen. To this day, some three and a half months after Gabriel came to us I look at him and am in absolute amazement! Please don't anyone pinch me because if I were to wake up and find out I'd been dreaming this, I don't think I would be able to go on. I am so completely in love with this baby boy that life will never be the same.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I offered a prayer of Thanksgiving over our Thanksgiving meal with our family, I was overcome with emotion because of ALL the wonderous miracles we'd experienced this past year. I was also begging God to have mercy on our nation because of all the tens of millions of babies who have been aborted over the last four decades, of the rampant sin and lawlessness. The recent earthquakes in Oklahoma, ravaging tornadoes earlier in the spring and summer and devasting hurricanes all point to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. I ask God to have mercy on our arrogant nation who snubs their nose at Him and takes His name in vain that He will withhold His wrath and judgement from us. I know the stench of wickedness in our nation is something He abhors.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The Worship Center of Kansas City, my home church, had their 1st "Cardboard Testimony" service last year and it was a powerful presentation. This past Sunday, we had our 2nd one and due to the huge support it's recieved they've decided to make it an annual event.<br />
<br />
Watch closely, you may see someone you know. Turn on your speakers and try to maximize to the full screen option to watch the video if you can for better effect -<br />

<a href="http://youtu.be/yRZzPzhrXYQ"></a><br />
<br />
Never underestimate the powerful effect your personal testimony may have upon another individual. I've received numerous comments from folks throughout our fellowship of how powerfully impacted they were to learn of my testimony. Remember God can turn your "test" in a "Testimony" for His glory if you only allow Him to work through you.<br />

Mommy texted me after his appointment to let me know that Gabe weighed in at 11 lbs 10 oz and measured a whole 24 inches in length. My text back to Mommy was "Holy cow! He'll be 6ft before we know it!" So if you do some mathmatics, Gabe is 159% of his birth weight and is 114% of his length. He's gone from eating 15 to 20 milli-liters when he was born to eating 5 onces of formula with some cereal in it too!

Thursday, he slept quite a bit during the morning, afternoon and evening. Yesterday, Friday, I don't think he was awake for more than a total of 4 hours out of the 24 hour time period. His appetite is increasing too. Yesterday afternoon, once he woke up about 1:30pm I gave him five onces and dropped him off with our "blessed" babysitter. I had to run to a job interview at 2pm and I was finished and picked him back up from the sitter by about 3:15. He ate another three onces when we arrived home; so, he ate about 8 onces in about 2 hours. Somebody please tell me where this tiny body is puttin' all this formula. God help me when he becomes a teenager! It's a good thing that the jobs I'm interviewing for will pay near the six figures or just above. I think I may need to start a food fund for his teenager years.<br /><br />Hey, here's an idea: does anyone know where I might be able to buy a silo? I figure if I begin stockpiling now I just might, just might have enough to last me through his teenage years. Or here's another one: maybe we should move close to a restaurant that has a buffet bar and all you can eat for $8.99 so at least he'll be able to feed "the pit" once per day!<br /><br />Shalom!man2followJESUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990737447011001742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538255358769942649.post-14138646825774965622011-10-14T07:18:00.000-07:002011-10-14T08:40:20.131-07:00Gabriel Judah Palmer - "Born for This" an anthem<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr78vtLPMTo&feature=player_detailpage">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jr78vtLPMTo&feature=player_detailpage</a> "Born for This" an anthem written by BeBe Winans, sung as a duet with Margaret Bell and presented along with the movie "One Night with the King" which is based on the premise that Ester was "Born for This" purpose of becoming Queen and standing in the gap for her people, the entire nation of Israel before the King.<br /><br />So consider his name: Gabriel - ancient Hebrew meaning "strong man of God" and Judah - again ancient Hebrew meaning "Praise". As High Priest of our home I decree over his life that as Gabriel spends not just one night with the King, but an entire lifetime, he will draw ALL of his strength and be a beacon to his generation due his "strength in God" and that his entire life will be a "Praise" to God, giving Him His due honor and glory!<br /><br />It is no secret that God has a divine purpose for this little man and that is why He has entrusted his Mommie and I to his care and up-bringing.<br /><br />Gabriel is blessed beyond measure and he will do mighty exploits!<br /><br />Shalom!man2followJESUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990737447011001742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538255358769942649.post-75134256582055532172011-10-13T13:21:00.000-07:002011-10-13T14:09:18.957-07:00Reflections on God's goodness-Today I've been blessed to have the opportunity to spend time with my newborn son, as I have for the last two weeks now. Truth be told, I wouldn't trade any moment of it for anything in the world! Right now he is sleeping in his carseat after polishing off 6.5oz in less than 45 minutes! We started with 5oz (his last record)and after he guzzled that right down and still acted fussy and wouldn't go to sleep, I tried a little trick a certain Indian woman taught me: I stuck my finger in his little mouth and when he commenced to suck on that, well I knew he was still hunger. So, Daddy jumped up and went into the kitchen to make another 2oz. of formula all the while asking this little guy - "And just where do you think you're going to put this, little man?" He just wailed a little louder (translation- "I want my bottle NOW!")<br /><br />So we nestled in the rocking chair Grammie & Grampie gave us a few years ago (in faith- believing for grand babies) and we began bottle no. 2! Well wouldn't you know it after about an once and a half, those eyelids just got so unbelievably heavy, they simply wouldn't stay open. The sucking commotion stopped and the "sleepy song" began. For those of you who don't know what his "sleepy song" is, well it is a symphony coos, moans, groans and general squeaks that are completely unique to Gabriel.<br /><br />He is in his carseat because we have to go pickup Mommie in a little bit as she gets off of work; and we're a "one car" family right now.<br /><br />I've also been patiently awaiting a phone call from a prospective new employer that I interviewed with yesterday in Kansas City, KS. I've worked with two individuals over there in times past and they wanted me to come over and talk with them about the opportunities they have at their company. I met the owner of the company and we talked for about an hour. He said that he would be calling today with an offer! I was a bit surprised when he said that because I generally don't expect to get an offer on the spot like that. I guess my reputation precedes me and he'd already been doing some investigation on me.<br /><br />So, I must say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the quality time I've spent with Gabriel these last two weeks but I believe that there will be some good changes happening in the very near future. He'll be going to day care for awhile until Mommie and I can get our financial feet completely planted beneath us again. Six months of unemployment (and under employment)hasn't been the easiest of times. But this presents the transition to talk about the goodness of God.<br /><br />It would be quite a lengthy post if I were recount all the times that God has moved miraculously and provided for us during this time. I mean, I lost my job in mid-April, blew through our savings, Gabriel's birth mother re-appeared in mid-July asking if we still wanted to adopt her baby after vanishing in April, we had to pay money to an adoption agency, adoption attorney, all this and still pay rent, utilities, gasoline, groceries, etc., etc. and we NEVER missed a bill, NEVER went without food, kept all our utilities on. I'm telling you, God was making a statement and when HE makes a statement, HE really makes it like only HE can! I am still in absolute "wonder" how all this has come about and really happened. Ten years ago, I probably would have lost my mind. But I've never had a doubt that God would take care of us, and that he still will continue to take care of us.<br /><br />This period of time (some may call it a storm) has been a learning time for me. I've learned how to let God...be.....GOD. He's always been.....right on time! There is an old "spiritual" that says "cain't nobody, do me like Jesus; he's my friend" He sho' nuf showed up....and showed OUT! Uh-oh, you better watch out now, I'm feelin' a preachin' comin' on!<br /><br />Lemme break it down for ya, I mean after baby Gabriel shows up, Mommie takes some well deserved time off work for bonding time and being a full time Mommie. When she takes off work, there's no income. I've been without work for quite sometime already and was working a little job in a neighboring town, but, watch what God does....in a time when we as a family are basically making $50,000 a year LESS than what we normally make, God keeps a roof over our head, keeps our lights on, keeps groceries in our cupboard and gas in our car!<br /><br />CAIN'T NOBODY.....DO ME LIKE JESUS!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQykqnqUeP1Ev7GsSzPDNtk9I4ugFKNgdQGyoD-O9WozGRUBDwgzabeWOXqfT6Ax4UZGqPuHoSheNCsgNTHIMpgq-OBN-GJvbBa360qHv6eEJRnrGx83FZKLB6LpvezbodVmzhwe_rgFt/s1600/015.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEQykqnqUeP1Ev7GsSzPDNtk9I4ugFKNgdQGyoD-O9WozGRUBDwgzabeWOXqfT6Ax4UZGqPuHoSheNCsgNTHIMpgq-OBN-GJvbBa360qHv6eEJRnrGx83FZKLB6LpvezbodVmzhwe_rgFt/s320/015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5663086207764691042" /></a> I simply couldn't resist.

He is now OURS!<br />Our attorney, Kevin W. Kenney, made this adoption process a wonderful experience.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkILseNjj_dZqtigk3ti6qlivoP5viD7KdS_nbJmbvWto_8o9lLQTzvlT1xnzqvdF2m19b6woL-IAYUkf2MLqVdexDP1R4jumg4HPW7dUTc6j3egK9ouT6lPx5I9m6djfe3EJQWXg0hs3s/s1600/Gotcha+Day%2521+011.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkILseNjj_dZqtigk3ti6qlivoP5viD7KdS_nbJmbvWto_8o9lLQTzvlT1xnzqvdF2m19b6woL-IAYUkf2MLqVdexDP1R4jumg4HPW7dUTc6j3egK9ouT6lPx5I9m6djfe3EJQWXg0hs3s/s320/Gotcha+Day%2521+011.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662417565957607522" /></a> The Judge was kind enough to snap this photo for us. Our attorney said they're "old hands" at this part of the deal. He also said that Gabriel was "exemplary in his behavior!" Gabe nursed on a bottle during the whole proceedings with all his typical squeaks and "Gabe sounds" for which he is so famous. <br /><br />Afterward, we went down to the Court Clerks office and we received an certified copy of the Order of the Court which will go in our safe. A lot of the ladies in the Court Clerks office were "oogling" and making over Gabe all the while he just looked at them.<br /><br />Our attorney told us that we'll be receiving a new birth certificate in the mail in the next few weeks and we'll be able to request a Social Security number for Gabriel at that point. He also encouraged us to seek the services of an accountant due to the tax credits we'll receive due to all our adoption expenses!<br /><br />I took Gabe to the Dr. at 3:20 pm because he's been dealing with a cold for about 11 days now. I was really anticipating them weighing him and I certainly wasn't disappointed. He tipped the scales at 10lbs and 4.5 onces! I think I made some kind of the exclamation like "Dude, you are really packing 'em on aren't you!" I did some calculating later and he's 150% of his birth weight. He's going back in two weeks for his two month old check up and they'll re-weigh him and re-measure him then.<br /><br />Today, was a MOMENTOUS day in the history of our little family. Today, it was fulfilled by what the Prophet Eric Cobbins decreed months ago that this would happen and be fulfilled! Today was a blessed day!man2followJESUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990737447011001742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538255358769942649.post-44761063873738402522011-10-10T11:05:00.000-07:002011-10-11T05:56:53.069-07:00it's been six weeksWell, six weeks ago last Friday night, our little man embarked on his life's journey.<br />We brought him home that Sunday evening and he's been a constant joy every since.<br /><br />One of his favorite places to go to sleep is lying on his Daddy's chest and right up under my chin. He's usually out in a few minutes. I've told his Mommy I don"t want to put him down because I know he's not going to stay this tiny for long. <br /><br />He spent three days in day care week before last.He had caught a cold by Friday; so we've been dealing with the cold for 10 days now. Daddy caught his cold too. We're goona see the Doc tomorrow afternoon.<br /><br />Speaking of tomorrow - we're going to court tomorrow to see the judge so he can sign the documents that makes us officially a family!<br /><br />You can count on there begin a post tomorrow!man2followJESUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990737447011001742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538255358769942649.post-63781387487805614212011-09-15T17:05:00.000-07:002011-09-15T17:30:05.377-07:00Guess what I did today!Daddy came home from work today and the first thing Mommy said to him was, "Guess what Gabe just did?"<br /><br />Here you can see for yourself - keep in mind that I'm only 20 days old<br /><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-B1EZHVRmzs?hl=en&fs=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>man2followJESUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990737447011001742noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538255358769942649.post-16402609047037748812011-09-13T19:26:00.000-07:002011-09-13T19:47:23.149-07:00My 2 week old check up today at Doc's place<div>Mommy took me to the Dr. today for my two week old check up.

I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. I find myself wanting to hold him so much because I know that he's not going to be this tiny for very long. Gabe was lying face down on my chest last Tuesday evening when all of the sudden he straightened both arms and did a full push up and then he lifted his head up and tilted it back as far as he could. Since then he's trying out more & more of his motor skills and it's all still very new to him. Earlier today I had fed him a bottle and after our burping ritual, etc. he was lying in my arms and he was just looking up at me - I'm sure I'm still "burry" but he knew who I am and where I was because it was like he was looking right into my face and saying "I know who you are!" Okay for all you wanting just pics - I aim to please: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgysakow5TAU46Gg5uRnSrZSM0R2reTa3jq-D74ziygu-k1z1eDD4FDik7ERUytvUD-Kt2LNg4uZwnXEuUmjtpIvayqOhPKrOsq5hMske2egkKCZXGccs6_L1RkEfoYD8fAdgiLj7KUbzjj/s1600/006.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650932272830293058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgysakow5TAU46Gg5uRnSrZSM0R2reTa3jq-D74ziygu-k1z1eDD4FDik7ERUytvUD-Kt2LNg4uZwnXEuUmjtpIvayqOhPKrOsq5hMske2egkKCZXGccs6_L1RkEfoYD8fAdgiLj7KUbzjj/s320/006.JPG" /></a> I am showing you one of my newest outfits! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhrdoOhNUVfOWCbg-EfmioB6RyvCkZgOkfYIMYvz4OEc15KuA6xMhwEQGp0SeU6K7oEgzEEZZru9bIXwNasA9U6lA5Sl_C-mUNbOs0h6u3yPaUPRP4agI79_IBltHehOOZFZ1eJUE1FUN/s1600/015.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650932728563266946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZhrdoOhNUVfOWCbg-EfmioB6RyvCkZgOkfYIMYvz4OEc15KuA6xMhwEQGp0SeU6K7oEgzEEZZru9bIXwNasA9U6lA5Sl_C-mUNbOs0h6u3yPaUPRP4agI79_IBltHehOOZFZ1eJUE1FUN/s320/015.JPG" /></a> This is where angels sleep - on their Daddy's chest right over his heart!man2followJESUShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990737447011001742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538255358769942649.post-88341593143430001432011-09-01T18:45:00.001-07:002011-09-01T19:21:56.947-07:00for all you out there saying....."more pics please"okay all you friends and family members wanting more pics - I am to please.

<br />I asked Mommy to take my picture and then I send it to Daddy's phone yesterday while he was working and I dictated this message to Mommy to text to Daddy..."Hi Daddy! Hope you're having a great morning!

<br />Mommy was changing my diaper this morning when she noticed that my scabbed over navel was missing! I have a pretty pink navel now. She had to look all around in my jammies to find it and she finally did.
<br />
<br />I was sleeping my Daddy on the couch last night and woke up and after a couple of minutes I almost rolled over to the right onto my tummy!

<br />I got home from work today just in time to feed Gabe. He ate almost 40mls. Then he stayed awake for about the next two hours; that's a new record for him. He usually would go back to sleep within ten minutes after eating.
<br />
<br />Here's a few more pics!
