It's You & Me Kid: Put your reading glasses on.........Long Post...........

Gabe is becoming more active each and every day which leaves me no time to blog.

One of my coworkers/friends found me an exercauser on Craiglist and brought it to my apt on Saturday. Gabe loves it! I don't know how I have gone without this. Now that Gabe is mobile, it is getting very hard to do things for myself- take a shower, laundry, etc... I have to keep tabs on him at all times or who knows what he will get into to. So this contraption has helped a ton. I am so thankful for my friend finding one, they are around 100 dollars new, and are only used for maybe 4 months or so- so I just didn't see the point in buying a brand new one.

My friend has 2 daughters, a 4 year old and a baby girl born 2 days before Gabe. She is sooo tiny! She weighs 12lbs and Gabe weighs 17lbs. I am so nervous holding her, she is so delicate. Here are some pics- Her name is Taylor :)

I realize the angle probably makes Gabe's arm bigger than it is, but still....you can tell there is a big difference.

Saturday I went to Old Time Pottery. It was my first visit and I think I was there for 2 hours! I found a mirror to hang above my couch for 29.99- such a good deal. I also got a center piece for my dining room table that I am a little bit obessed with. See below. I also bought some Christmas ornaments and now cannot wait to put up my tree. I have decided to decorate the tree in shades of gold, bronze, and brown with hints of a deep purple. I can see how I want it to look in my head, but we will see how it turns out.

I hope to take Gabe to Portrait Innovations this weekend to get Christmas Pictures made. Be expecting a Christmas Card!

Here are some pics of Gabe that Mom and I took at the BJCC a few weekends ago. He loved the grass- of course he wanted to eat it.
