Online shopping

Anyone else pretty addicted?  I have cut back a lot... I guess I was never crazy, but it's been a horrible temptation for me!  So to help everyone else out-- Target.com is having a "Black Friday" sale today.  Nothing has been horribly tempting except for one cute shirt.

In other news, my husband wins for doing this for me...

I Love You

Guess who started a peek-a-boo game with me, yesterday, as we were walking around Cub (grocery store)?  That, I think, is a milestone.  :)

And this?

That is a milestone.

Other than that, not much is new around here.  We will be taking Gabriel for 6 month pictures by the same guy who took our wedding photos.  Greg Thorne does an excellent job.  That is an understatement for sure.  We're especially touched by how much he and his wife cared about us and our family and how much they remember about that day, even though they do so many weddings!!!

Wow, speaking of that day... we're coming up on 2 years on 8/2!  Time has gone quickly.  We can already see that in terms of our 6 month old darling.  I often ask Gabriel, "Where did my baby go?"  I only see a big boy now.

That big boy has to into the doctor today to see if his ears are okay.  He has been struggling with a horrible cold for the past 10 days.  Now he isn't eating quite like he used to and he seems in general discomfort.  Ear infection?  Teething?  Attitude at 6 mos?  I don't know.  We shall see!  If he is found to be okay, maybe they will give him the 6 month shots we had to pass on during his 6 month "well-child" appointment... because he was... sick.  Poor kid.

Other than that, Barry and I are doing well.  Barry is working and then doing Army stuff this week.  I am enjoying being a SAHM.   Barry is an excellent father.  It's fun to see him in this role.  Some of Gabriel's activities where DADDY is the desirable playmate:  Tonka Truck fun, "driving" Gabriel's car, going to local little league/up to legion baseball games, playing with most other toys and checking out Daddy's whiskers.  :)

And actually... Gabriel most clearly said "I love you" to his daddy FIRST.  Sooo precious!
