Baby Boy

Frank and Edie Ziebell (Frank Ziebell-my step father's parents) sent Gabriel a box of cute clothes, toys, shoes, and more. We think this Baby Boy outfit is adorable AND it hast the added bonus of saving me from answering the question...boy or girl? He's a BOY people!...ha ha!!

Love the Peanut big and matching hat (not shown here) from Frank & Edie. We call him Peanut from time to time so it was a perfect fit for our little Peanut.

Baby Birds & Misc.

In the Lilac Tree in my parents yard there was a nest with 4 Robin Eggs and one by one they hatched and we got to witness the first hours of life for these little birds. I was totally excited!! I couldn't stop checking in on them. I think i'm ready to be a Doula;)

Seriously?! Aren't these teh cutest little things ever?!

Grandma, Gabriel, and Lucy getting ready for a bath. Well, just Gabriel was taking a bath but Lucy likes to be involved in just about everything so she's "helping" my mom run the water;)

After a family "swim" in the tub Gabriel falls asleep on Chet...he's just too pooped!

"Swimming" in Grandma's BIG bathtub!

Gabriel LOVES the water! Here he's practicing his kicking.

I think the big smile on his face says it all...this is my water baby:)

Aaaah, these are the moments that make being a mother so grand!

Walking with Great Aunt Chrissie

We went to visit Great Aunt Chrissie (my aunt) at her gorgeous condo in Cincinnati. We decided to take a walk over the bridge into Kentucky to have lunch. It was a long walk that the weather wasn't so good BUT the Black Bean Burgers we ate were sure delicious!

Gabriel with Great Aunt Chrissie

This was BEFORE our walk.

This was AFTER our walk. He was pooped although, i'm not sure quite why because I did ALL the walking and he just rode and slept in the Moby...ha ha!!

Lake House

Lake House, Kentucky

Gabriel and I left Chapel Hill at 9:30 AM on Friday, May 1st for Monticello, Kentucky to visit Grandma (my mom) at their beautiful new Lake House on Lake Cumberland (sp?). It was a looooong drive and not one of my best ideas:( I thought I could handle an 8 hour drive with a 3.5 month old it turned out to be somewhat of a disaster. Gabriel screamed in the backseat and I had to stop SIX times to calm him down. We even stopped at a hotel and checked in for the night but I really didn't want to stay in the "Quality" Inn for the night especially since it wasn't so quality so we got back on the road and after a long and stressful drive we arrived in Monticello around 11pm.

Happy to be with Grandma in her new Lake House!

I think the shirt says it all.

Laundry-Where's Baby?

This is what it looks like on laundry "day" around our house. Where's Gabriel?

Here he is, sitting on a pile of blankets.
