6 weeks of baby fun!!

Just some pictures of little Gabers...here he is at about 6 weeks. He is almost outgrowing his 0-3 month clothes! He doesn't go back to the doctor until April, but I am guessing he now weighs over 10 pounds!! He is getting so big. He is so serious all the time. It makes me laugh. I rarely get smiles out of him, but when I do...oh his smile is SO big and I can't wait to get it on camera! He is still a good eater and sleeper and we just love having him around!!!

This picture cracks me up....JT looks so put upon since I wanted to take pictures and Gabe is just staring at him like hey big brother...:)

JT plays t-ball.....

I sometimes have to wonder where in the world time went! I can't believe that JT is old enough to start playing sports!! Last Saturday he had his first t-ball game. He was so excited. The only thing I don't understand is why every kid has to bat every inning and it doesn't matter how many outs you get?? I guess it also goes without saying that everyone is a "winner". Yah, I don't agree with that either, but what can you do???


JT look so big!!

His first hit off the tee...

Making it to first!

Waiting to advance...

Taking it home!!!!

Sliding into home! He was SO excited and played so well. The kids are 4-6 and JT really seems to enjoy himself. There are a bunch of kids on the team from his dad's neighborhood so I am sure that is what makes it fun as well!!!

Now I just need him to stop growing up!!!

Holy cow has it been a month already?

My how time flies when you are having fun!!! Gabe is already one month old! At his one month check up he weighed in at a high 9 lbs and 9 oz and was already 22 inches long. Considering he started this world at 7 lbs 6 oz and only 20 inches long I decided we must be doing something right! He is still such a sweet little guy. Sleeps a lot, eats a lot and stares at the wall a lot! :) Greggory is still the only one who wants to hold him and kiss him as much as possible.

His shirt says MY MOMMY ROCKS! Well duh! :)

This picture was taken before we left him with Grammie for the first time. I had a fundraiser at the preschool and so we had to leave him for a few hours. Grammie and Gabe had a blast and I must say it was nice for Matt and I to get out too.

Happy Birthday to Greggory and FINALLY a picture of ALL 4 boys!

****I posted twice this morning so keep scrolling on down******

We finally celebrated our LAST February birthday. With Gabe being born on February 5th, Matthew on the 11th, Bradley on the 12th it was nice to make it to the 27th and celebrate with Greggory! It amazes me that he has turned 9. His personality is so like mine sometimes he seems much older and sometimes I think I might go crazy! He loves to play lacrosse and soccer. Loves the X-box and playing World of Warcraft. Most importantly he LOVES his new baby brother. Every chance he can get he wants to hold him and love on him. I can always count on him to get me a pacifier or a hug to me! He is a GREAT big brother and we are so lucky he is part of our lives!!

He wanted an ice cream cake and as you can see we forgot to take it out ahead of time. We had to microwave it just to cut it!!

Greggory getting his blue whale webkinz. He was so excited!

Finally I was able to get a picture of the 4 boys together. Even Gabe seems to be smiling in this one. I am hoping to get more soon. I haven't even sent out announcements yet! I tell you life with 4 sure is pretty crazy. Especially with Bradley playing NON-stop sports!

Gosh I sure love this men!!!! I am one lucky momma!!!

More baby pictures and fun at bath time!

Gabriel is almost one month old. I know I can't believe tomorrow it will happen! Simply can't imagine my life without him in it! He is such a sweet baby. He loves to be snuggled, but mostly just likes to chill on his own. He is a GREAT eater and I can't wait to see how on Friday how much he weighs. Sad part though is that we have to do our first round of shots. :( Always makes me sad. I am pretty sure he is well over 9 pounds just based on how his clothes fit him now.



This picture was taken right before his first bath. This monkey outfit was the very first item of clothing I bought for him when I found out I was having a boy. Matt LOVES monkeys and it was just too cute to not pass up!

First bath. He LOVED it. Just sat there and "talked" the whole time. It was pretty funny. I wasn't sure what he was going to think, but he really seemed to enjoy it!

Just chilling in the bathtub!

Check out the curls. When I washed his hair I was surprised at how curly it is. I know I have curly hair and so does Greggory, but just seeing it made it more real. I really hope it stays curly. Something about curls on the boys! :)

Everyone else seems to be adjusting around here. Still seems like the other boys don't know too much he is here. I am happy to hear that because soon enough I am sure Gabriel will be making his mark on this family!!! :)

So in love.....

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a new daddy with his first baby....I love you guys and I am SO lucky!!!

Update on new baby life....

So far so good....that is how life has been since little Gabriel made his GRAND entrance. :) He has been a sweet baby and the boys seem to be doing ok with him. Greggory's favorite thing to do is hold him as much as possible. As you can see from the below picture! JT still isn't sure what to think of him, but I am sure in time he will get it all figured out!

Grammie with Gabriel. We realized we had NO pictures of the two of them together. I swear it is SO hard to remember to take pictures of your 4th!!!!

I was trying to get a good picture of Gabriel and JT said you should take one with ME in it. I totally agree!!! :)

Greggory had a Moments with Mom at school and this was the older boys. Gabriel was home with daddy who was able to take off the whole week and spend it with us. Boy was I sure sad he had to return to work. Sure wish he could stay home FOREVER! Bradley is all dressed up because he made the All-Star football team at his middle school and on game days they have to dress up. Too bad he lost his clothes. Yah, shoes, slacks, belt, shirt and oh the tie Matt wore to our wedding. Oh joy!

Little Gabers taking a rest in the bouncy chair. He prefers to lay down while sleeping. Don't think he stayed like this for long.

Again as you can see Greggory and Gabers. Any chance he can get to hold him. It's so sweet. He is SUCH a GREAT big brother!

This was his Happy Valentine's outfit. I was so excited when I bought it and even MORE excited that it fit! I bought the super small one and I was afraid it would be too small and then too late to buy another one! I bought it back in January.

Bradley holding Gabriel. I realized I didn't have any pictures of him holding the baby either. He isn't as interested in the baby as I thought he would be. I am sure once he starts doing things he will get more excited!

Look at those GIANT hands. Maybe he will be the one who plays basketball. Of all the sports the other guys play None of them have any luck with basketball. Heck they can't even get their clothes in the hamper let alone a ball in a hoop!!!

And last, but certainly NOT least a picture of the two birthday cakes. That is right. One week after Gabriel was born Matthew turned 33 and Bradley 13!!! Ohmigosh! I have a baby and a teenager. How did this happen again? :)

For the most part everything is going pretty well over here. I like to think it's too early to really tell how it will all go, but Gabriel is a very sweet little guy. We are really enjoying having him around and I know I am REALLY enjoying not having to the be the ONLY one carrying him around! :)
