My Baby is One!

Well, it finally happened. He turned one and no matter what I did, I couldn't stop him!! That's ok though. There's just so much of him to love and as he grows, I'm sure there will be more and more!!

On Friday he had his one year well baby visit which included TWO shots!! Ouch! He did cry a little, but was pretty quickly calmed in Daddy's arms. He weighed in at 20 lbs, 8 ounces and 29.5 inches long. He got an A-OK from the doctor who said he was growing and developing perfectly!

We celebrated the big birthday this weekend. We had a little get together at the pool and Gabe had a blast being the center of attention. His favorite part was eating the cake! He LOVES to eat and he especially loves cake!! Here are some shots of him eating cake and otherwise having a great birthday party.


We also took Gabe to have his one year picture made. Here are some of the shots from that.

And then... this is a biggie! This is something I have been working on for months and I really want to share it with all of my Land of Gabe readers. It's a video montage that I have made of Gabe's first year. Just a few warnings before you open it...

It's kind of long - there are three songs (so turn on your sound!) and it takes about 10 minutes to see the whole thing so watch it when you have some spare time (and make sure you make it though to the end! That's the best part!!)

If you have dial up, sorry it may not work for you! I tried to watch it on dial up and it stayed stuck on the first slide. Sorry!

And last, have some Kleenex handy!! It's a bit of a tear jerker!

Enjoy!

Dear Aunt Mary,
Here are the pictures mama took of Jamie.

You will probably have to copy (control c) and then paste (control V) into your web browser to see them b/c she can't make the link clickable here. After you paste it, you'll have to finish typing in "html" (without the ") at the end - some of it got cut off here for some reason. Good luck! Let me know if it works!

I had fun playing with Jamie and JB this weekend. Hope you like these pictures!

Love, Gabe
