Gabe's 2 Month/ Dr. Visit

Well Gabe is 2 Months now!! I cant believe my baby boy is 2 months!!! The time goes by so fast. Gabe has started to learn new things in this last month.
*He has started to smile big for mom and dad.
*He smiles for a few other people too, like Grandma and Aunt Allie.
*He is getting to be such a little talker too.
*He loves it when you blow kisses on his belly.
*Now he only falls asleep when he is being rocked to Karen Carpenter.(Something my Dad did to all of us when we were babies.)
*He loves to stare at the Christmas lights on the tree. He will stare until he falls asleep.
*He knows the difference between sitting down and standing up when you are holding him. He Only likes it when you are standing up!
Oh we LOVE our baby boy Gabers!






Gabe went into his 2 month Doctor visit on Monday, November 30th. He was such a good boy. They weighed him and took all his measurements and he was a little angel through all of it. He weighs 10 ibs 2 oz, and is now 21 inches long (which I believe is a little off, I think he is longer than that!)He is in the 75% of his weight, which is great. His daddy is very proud that he is putting on some "Meat." Gabe was happy and talking the whole appointment, until I put him on the table for the dredded shots. Oh boy he was not a happy camper when the nurse poked him 3 times in the leg. He flinched for the first shot, then he held his breath for about 10 seconds for the second and third shots. His face went bright red and he let out the saddest cry I have ever heard. Poor little guy! He was not too happy with mommy for a little while. Here he is, tuckered out from a long day of pain!


Oh, and here are two cute pictures of Grandma Leslie with Gabe and Grandma Dawn and uncle Kellan when they were down here visiting! We love you guys!

Thanksgiving!!

Our Thanksgiving this year was fabulous! We had it at my parents house and everyone was there... except for Nate and April who were missed to say the least! We had Grandpa Burr there and the food was sooo Amazing! We snacked on Pickle Rolls and Veggie Trays until we were able to start our Feast! We played a very competitive game of Chinese Checkers... that I dominated! That is always our game of choice whenever we all get together and if you dont know how to play, I suggest you learn because it is so fun! Now onto the mushy stuff. I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who has put up with me for literally 10 years. I am so grateful for our baby boy! I do not know how we lived without him for so long! He is such a miracle and I am so lucky to be his mommy! I am grateful for my parents who raised me in the church and taught me right from wrong. They were and will always be wonderful examples on the way I want to treat my spouse and raise my children. Thanks Mom & Dad. I am so grateful for my Grandparents and the knowledge and wisdom they have shared with me. I am grateful for my siblings! They are my best friends and I feel so fortunate to have all of them in my life. I am also very grateful for Dallas' family. I love them so much and I am grateful that they love me and accept me into their family.
Ok, so here are a few pictures from our day. We got a little hyper in the later hours of the night so I decided to NOT post any of those pictures for the safety of all the readers. Enjoy!

Gabe's Blessing and Halloween

Dallas blessed Gabriel in my parents ward on November 1st. It was such a wonderful day. We had so much family come and support Gabe on his special day. Dallas gave a wonderful blessing, promising wonderful things. I am so grateful for him and I love him so much. It is a day we will both never forget. After the meeting, we invited our close family members to the house for a nice brunch. The food was delicious and the company was even better. I feel like the luckiest mommy in the entire world. I have the Best husband and Best baby boy!!!

Some cute pictures of Gabe on his blessing day.





We are so proud to be Gabe's parents.



Four generations of Lundquist's. This was a pretty neat moment for Dallas.


The proud parents, Gabers and Grandpa Burr. We were so glad he was able to come up from Antimony for Gabe's blessing. We don't get to see him enough and we love him SO much. he stayed with us while he was up here so he got to bond with Gabe. It is so cute seeing my baby boy in my Grandpa's arms! A moment I will never forget.


Gabe was not a happy boy when we took these pictures. He just got woken up from a nap in Grandpa's arms and he was very hungry. We tried very hard to console him but he was not having it. Cutest skeleton I have ever seen though!!

Gabe's Newborn Pictures

I finally am posting Gabe's newborn pictures! My good friend Natalie Bennion took these when Gabe was just one week old. She did such an amazing job!! She was so patient with us. First of all, Gabe had a little disaster in the hat box.. all over her cotton that she brought. Oh it was a mess. Then, we were losing lighting in the room we were shooting in because I was trying to get Gabe to fall asleep. That took quite a while. We found better lighting in another room which was wonderful news but Gabe didnt like the shots where he had to be on his tummy. Thanks to my mom, the miracle worker... she got him sound asleep and he then let us do whatever we wanted with him. Oh I LOVE my baby boy!! Thanks Nat for the awesome pictures!!

Gabe is 1 Month Today!

I am comparing Gabe to an egg carton every month to see just how big he is getting. So cute.


Well, it has been one month since Gabriel David came into our lives and he has been the biggest blessing to us! He is such a miracle. He makes his mom and dad so happy. So far in Gabe's first month he:
*Loves his Binki and will not go to sleep without it.
*Loves to sleep on mommy's chest in the morning.
*Stares at the person who is holding him so intently. I swear he can see into our souls.
*Loves to float in the bathtub but hates it when mommy gets down to business and washes him.
*Only goes to sleep if mommy sings to him. He really loves the song "Merry Christmas Darling."
*Has an appetite like his dad, which means he eats a lot!
*Makes grunting noises when he eats.
*Holds his breath until his face goes bright red when he either needs to poop or toot. It is so cute I must say but I have to tickle him to take a breath.
*Giggles in his sleep.
*Is always doing things with his hands. (Clasping them like he is praying, scratches his face, falls asleep with his hands in the air.)
*Always pees on mommy and daddy when they change his diaper. He just loves it when its off!

Here are a few pictures starting from Gabe's first day on this earth to now. I thought i would post them because they are so precious.

Some Recent Events

A few things have been happening around here lately. Dall's dad Dave came into town from Idaho a few weeks ago to meet his new new Grandson. He fell in love instantly! We named Gabe after him so this was an exciting meeting. I can see a lot of Gabe in Dallas and Dave. Three generations, how precious!!



A few Saturdays ago, my best friend Ali came home for a visit. She is pregnant and due in April and I am so excited for her!!! We decided that the girls needed to get together for a breakfast while she was here. Kristen made us delicious sausage and egg casserole, it was soooo good. Kristen's baby girl Olivia is about one week older than Gabe and she is a doll. We have decided that we are going to set them up when they get older. He he. I love those girls!



I have also been in the mood to craft. I have had quite a bit of spare time on my hands so I got right to work on Gabe's block letters for his future nursery and my mom was gracious enough to help me make his car seat cover. I LOVE the fabric I picked out for it. For my next project, I think I will go buy a cute shelf at Wood Connection and paint it for his room... oh I love to craft!
