What a great big sister

I have to share a wonderful story. Yesterday Gabe had to go to the doctor's to get a shot. He had four the previous day. This trip to the doctor's Lauren had to go with us. Before we left Brian asked Lauren if she was going to hold Gabe's hand and sing to him when he got his shot. Lauren of course said yes. Well we got there and settled in the waiting area outside the room where Gabe was to get his shot and on the TV was the movie "The Princess and the Frog." Well Lauren was so excited. When we got called to go get Gabe his shot I let Lauren stay in the waiting area so she could watch the movie. I didn't think she would leave the movie to come help comfort Gabe...BUT I was wrong. Not two seconds after I sat down with Gabe in front of the nurse Lauren came in and held Gabe's hand. After he got the shot and was crying Lauren started to sing "rock a bye Gabe in the tree top". It was incredibly sweet!


One other thing to note. Check out Gabe's head control!! For some reason I always think that my kids do not have very good head control at an early age...but Gabe proved me wrong. He did great today with his tummy time! Good job Gabe!

Amazing and beautiful Lauren


Today we went to Lewis Ginter and I was able to get the most beautiful picture of Lauren. The setting was perfect.
The second picture is of the word Mom. Lauren was playing with sidewalk chalk and said Mom I'm going to write your name. This is what she wrote. I didn't help her at all. Who knew she could write and spell!! What a smart little girl!

Gabe with Great Grandparents




This past weekend we went to Williamsburg and Gabe was able to meet his Great Granddaddy and Great Grammy. It was a great visit.
