little monkey

My babe is such a determined little monkey some days. See, we always put Gabriel's toys in a box and the other day I cleaned the apartment so I put the box in a little cubby hole in the side table. Well Gabriel loves to sit in the box with all his toys surrounding him so what does he do? He pulls the box out just enough to somehow manage to climb in it without falling over and sits there trying not to fall out because the box is slanted downward. He couldn't even reach half his toys in the box because half of it was still in the hole. I had to laugh when I saw him trying to keep his balance while holding his toys:) Sorry the pictures aren't that great, he wouldn't stop moving:)

Yummmmm!!!!

We had chocolate chips for the first time in 6 months the other day. I was able to track down all of the ingredients thanks to some friends and my mom and I made lots and lots of cookies! This was Gabriel's first taste of the goodness and he loved it! Now, I may or may not have given him this cookie about an hour before bed time because he was very crabby and I wanted to keep him quiet to preserve my sanity... you know, maybe, I might have... but you will never know!

peace

For your steadfast love is before my eyes, 

and I walk in your faithfulness.

Psalm 26:3

Josh and I are in the middle of making some very big decisions and this verse has been very helpful to me lately. Even though there is so many things that can cause stress in life, God is always there, right before our eyes just loving us and when we put our faith in him we have peace, we have faith, we know that he is taking care of us. 

Gabriel, say 'Cheese!'

... or not...

Have you ever noticed that if you plan on getting a cute picture of your child, it usually doesn't happen? Then, you get cute picture when you're not planning it at all? Happens to me all the time! I wanted a cute picture with Gabriel, so I got both of us looking descent and outside we went... but we ended up with these instead =D Oh well!

Jammin'

My baby Boo knows how to rock it!
