Gabe through July

I'm going to switch now from weekly posts about Gabe to monthly ones.  He changes less week to week than he did when he was a newborn.  And since I'm struggling so much with keeping up with this blog, I decided it would be easier to recap a whole month instead.  So, here is Gabe through July.

July 2nd

July 3rd.

 

July 6th.

July 7th.  Gabe and his buddy Easton.  Easton is one month older and a LOT chubbier.

July 9th.

 July 12th.

 

July 13th. Sara was such a huge help to me with Gabe through the moving process.  She would take care of him while I packed up boxes.  I don't know how I would have done it without her help.

July 15th

July 16th

 

July 16th.  Josh also turned out to be a huge help.  He discovered that Gabe loved the hammock just as much as Josh did, and the two of them took quite a few naps together out there.

July 19th.  This is what happens when you have a 3 year old sister.

July 20th.

July 23rd.  Poor Gabe, for two weeks leading up to this had a bad cough. He coughed and coughed until he would throw up. It was so exhausting (for both of us).  Keep in mind, this was while I was trying to pack up our house and move.  It was a rough month.

But he still managed to be happy most of the time.

July 24th.  We moved into our rental the night before.  Here he is catching a nap on our new living room floor.

July 25th.  We tried rice cereal.  It didn't go so well.  He couldn't figure out how to swallow it without gagging on it.  (We still have that problem at 8 months!)

July 29th.

July 31st.
