Little Guy


Gabe had his 9 month well check-up today. He is a little guy. 17.7 lbs (10th percentile). 27.5 height (25th percentile). The dr. said she is not worried about his weight because he is at an active phase in his babyhood (did I just made up that word?). We only feed him pureed baby foods in situations where there is no high chair to feed him in. Otherwise, he eats our table food, or mac and cheese, peas, carrots, diced apples, pears, bananas, turkey sticks, potatoes, cheese, etc... He is working on cutting his top teeth. Speed crawls everywhere. Discovered the steps. Waves and says "bye bye". Pulls up on anything and walks around hanging on to those items. Sleeping great...goes down at 8:30 and wakes at 7:00. Takes 2 naps a day; 10:00 - 12:00 and 2:30-4:30. Gabe is still the most content and happy baby. He constantly smiles and loves playing and exploring on his own. He is doing GREAT and we are loving every minute of him! Stephen and I keep saying how we wish he could stay this age forever. He is such a joy and we couldn't love him more!

Hi Bethany, my name is Sonya Lasseter and I work at Gadsden Regional Medical Center and your dad is one of our vendors. First of all let me say thank you for your website and allowing me to watch your children grow up. Not having children of my own, it has been such a pleasure watching yours. I can see them growing with each picture you post and every time you ask for prayer for something, I stop and say a little prayer for your request. If you are in Gadsden anytime with your dad, stop in and let me see your beautiful children. Again let me say thank you for sharing your family with me.
