3 Years Ago Today....

I gave birth to this precious boy...


And here he is today!


To our Sweet Little Man,

Your Daddy and I can not believe you are 3 today! It seems like just yesterday when I surprised Daddy with the news that we were expecting, we were overcome with such excitement and although we had some struggles and bumps in the road prior, we knew God was in control. Every day I am amazed by you, from the moment you entered my life you have made me better. From the sporadic hugs and kisses that you sprinkle throughout every day to the excitement you show in the little things, I am charmed by you! You are such a great big brother to Hannah, you've already taken on the role of her little protector. It just melts my heart watching the relationship between the two of you blossom. Although it's hard for me to admit you are a Daddy's boy, the two of you have such a great time together, you have a wonderful Daddy! God has truly blessed us with you as our son and words cannot express how much we love you!!

Gabe at 3:
  • Is starting to try and imitate more words..he had his verbal evaluation with Mrs Rachel (his speech therapist) where he had to repeat 75 words or so (I can't remember the exact amount just know it was a lot) he completely shut down but then in the weeks to follow it seems like he has attempted to copy words we say more!!!
  • Tested high in receptive (he finished off at the 6/7 yr old level)
  • Sometimes Hannah does not like to ride in the car so she'll cry/scream and Gabe says Boo (his nickname for her) top (aka stop) and covers his ears
  • Loves cuddling up with Mommy or Daddy for his bedtime story
  • Rambunctious high energy boy who apparently doesn't need much sleep (Very rarely naps..which started shortly after turning 2)
  • Loves to be Mommy/Daddy's little helper
  • Likes cars, trucks, Curious George, Pooh, trains and is all into "fixing things" even if that means he has to take it apart first
