Gabe has been talking about his birthday ever since Christmas. We explained that after Jesus’ birthday, it’s Gabe’s birthday…but I think he’s decided that the whole month of January is his birthday! “Two birthday, chocolate cake” is his favorite phrase. We hear it often. Like a broken record some days!

Gabe has become such a sweet man. We’re thrilled he’s talking so much - and I think he is, too. He asks for something like “Help lid please. Hard. Got it!” And smiles and goes on to something else. Like “Mama, juice please? On counter, too high. Shank you!” He loves to “call” people on the phone: “Hi, Shauna! Ya, no shanks, ya, what doin? OK. Bye!”

Gabriel, I have loved watching you learn and grow in leaps lately. You bring so much joy to my day - sweetly talking to Abigail and giving her toys, following Hannah everywhere, always looking for a moment to sit close to Mama or be held. You are a precious gift, my little man. You are gracious to me when you “pee pee froo” (pee through his diaper) because Mama forgot to change you amidst the craziness. Everything you do is with excitement - and volume! You love being on the go - being hauled around to stores and the library (”no home, new store”). It’s fun to see you gravitate toward boy stuff - tools, balls, whacking stuff, shooting dart guns, fixing things, cars, big fire boots, swords…but you’ll also let Hannah pretend you’re her lamb when she sings Mary had a Little Lamb, get into the doll house, push babies around in the stroller, and wear Hannah’s tiara.

But my favorite thing about you? Your million dollar smile. You melt my heart, handsome man. Mama loves you - sooooo much!

Happy Birthday, Month Buddy!
