Getting Inspired!

So I was Blog Stalking the other day and I came across something called Project Life. The concept of it is Amazing. I am not a scrapbooker AT ALL. First of all, I don't have the scrapbooking skills, the time or the money to invest in scrapbooking. In fact, I have at times thought about hiring a professional to do it for me. I can now say that I am inspired to scrapbook with Project Life. Check it out here at www.beckyhiggins.com. I ordered mine today and I cannot wait to get it. Yay!!!!!

 

He's 4 Months!!!

I know I say this every time but I CANT believe my baby boy is growing so fast! I mean 4 months... Already!!!! Being this little boy's Mommy has been amazing. I was just telling Dall the other day that I wish we would have had Gabe sooner. We just didnt know what we were missing out on. Oh the past month Gabe has grown so much. I'm taking him to the Doctor for his 4 month appointment tomorrow so I will have his Stats then. Some things I have notied about Gabe in the last month are:

*Loves to play Paticake

*Laughs at Momma when she plays Peek-a-Boo

*Fitting almost his whole fist into his mouth and sucking like crazy

*Loves to look at himself in the mirror

*Laughs when Mom or Grandma blows on his stomach (he is tickleish from our hair)

*Still likes to be rocked to sleep to Karen Carpenter

*Takes two long naps for momma in the day so she can get things done

*Has conversations with us all day long. He has to tell us all about it

*Puts his fingers in mom and dad's mouth

I also have noticed that he is growing a little more hair. It is still really light and he doesnt seem to have any weird cowlicks. He has a little red birthmark (raspberry) on his back that has not gone away yet. I dont know if it will either. He also gets a little scared if he is being held by someone he hasnt been around too much. He has a particular cry for that. Otherwise, his cry is just a little whine. It is so cute and it is hard for me to take him seriously. I am going to go a little picture crazy now.

 Arent those some gorgeous eyes?Notice his fists.

Blowing the bubbles.

Snuggling with Grams.

He is our Happy Baby Boy! Please let the next month go by slower!!!

Was this really me???

So now that it is almost four months since I had Gabe, I can look at the pictures of me at 38 weeks with a little laughter. I DID NOT want to post any of them when I was 38 weeks because.... well.... you can clearly see.  So just for fun, here are few pictures of me Large and in Charge.

This was actually the day my water broke.

So there ya have it. Ali, have a good laugh!

3 months for little man...

Well, my baby boy is 3 months!!! I cannot believe how the time has flown. He is getting the cutest personality. We just fall more in love with him every day. Here are a few things Gabe has started doing this month:
*Smiling a TON at mommy everytime he see's her.
*Grabing at his binki and pulling it out of his mouth, then putting it back in.
*Splashing in the tub when we give him baths because he is so excited.
*Watches the TV with daddy, especially sports.
*Is very unhappy when he is sitting in a poopy daiper.
*Throws little tantrums when he doesn't get food fast enough.
*Starting to drool and blow bubbles.
Let these pictures speak for themselves.

Christmas Was Fab!!!

This year, Christmas was wonderful!!! We spent a lot of time with our families and enjoyed every minute of it. My side of the family always has a Christmas Eve Eve party on the 23rd. We eat great food, exchange presents and play games all night long. This year, my brother-in-law Landon made a disc with lots of pictures my family took throughout the whole year. He put it to music and added some Jib Jab skits in there. It had us all in tears from laughing so hard. I had the worst stomach cramp by the end of it. We thought it was such a great idea that we are making that a yearly tradition as well. We spent Christmas Eve visiting with Dall's grandparents. Then we went out for Sushi with my family after they got done with the Nutcracker at Capitol Theater. We spent the night watching Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas... then it was off to bed.
 I would have to say that one HUGE reason why our Christmas was so great is because of our Gabers! He made everything so much more magical. Sounds cheesy but it is true. Here are a few random pictures from our Christmas Holiday.

And I got a sewing machine!!!!! I was so excited to get this. I had absolutely no idea!

Just Some Randomness..

So I dont really have anything specific to post about, other than my adorable baby boy who is growing and getting cuter every day. We have had a few Family Christmas Parties this month, which have been really fun. It has been nice to see and spend time with my family that I dont get to see enough throughout the year. I am getting really excited for Christmas!! Mainly because this is our first Christmas with our Gabers and although he has no idea what is going on, it is just so fun to have him here with us! He does love the lights on the Christmas Trees though. He will stare at them for hours... until his eye lids get to heavy to stay open. He is smiling a ton at us now and I have to say that he is going to be a lady killer with that smile!! I should be worried, very worried. So here are some pictures of the comings and goings of December.

Oh I Love this little crunch! He just melts my heart.Gabe has been doing Tummy Time for quite some time now. He is a pro at it. The very first time he did it, he rolled over! We were so excited to say the least.

Gabe in the process of rolling over... and might I say that Red is definately his color!!! Go Utes!

Dallas and I at one of our Christmas Parties.

I love this picture of Gabe. It is just one of the many silly faces he pulls. His crusty on his face matches mine.. Ha ha!

Me and my little man.

Allie was holding him and he gave her the biggest smiles. He loves his Aunt Allie.

Can we say Lady Killer!!! I love this little boys smile! It is obsessive!!!
