One of our sweet boy's newest pictures!Oh, my goodness! My baby is officially into the double digits ... where has the time gone?!!! And, boy, oh, boy has he changed this past month. Gage has become mobile. The first week of crawling was pretty cute. He looked like a little robot going back and then realizing what it took to go forward. His actions were very thought out and slow. But, now, he is cruising! He has discovered every corner of the house and can make it from one end to the other in about 1 1/2 minutes. He is also standing up on things and starting to walk around them. Just crazy! Where did my baby go?! Our lives have changed drastically...constant watch, baby proofing, gates. Now that he has discovered mobility, he no longer sits contently to snuggle with mom. He is moving, looking for action, afraid to miss anything. Matter of fact, the other day I put him in his crib so I could put my contacts in my eyes without worrying about him and he fell asleep ...sitting up! He wouldn't give into laying down with his snuggly blankets. Now, he was sitting up, head bobbing and sleeping. It was hilarious and I caught it on film.
Gage just loves to crawl. He is so proud of himself! He can finally chase his sisters and brother around.
One of his favorite new toys is his sister's kitchen. He spends forever emptying every cupboard and drawer. Doesn't he look like a big boy!Teething was also a big issue this month. Gage got his bottom two teeth a few months ago. Then he got his top side tooth first, followed by his front tooth next to it. Even though they were a little off kilter in his mouth he still discovered how to grind them! He was quite lopsided until this last week when he got the other two top teeth to match.
Gage and his top two teeth.
Not only has he discovered mobility, but he is also eating mostly table foods, plays patty-cake, and so much more. He is all boy!!! And, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Our little rock star!
Gage has brought such joy to our lives. Each day we thank God for this gift. He is such a good natured little guy who makes us all smile and reminds us it is the little things that are important every day. What fun he has brought to our home and family!

Oh Stacy, I have to comment on your sweet little baby boy! Makes me smile seeing the picture of him standing up by his sisters kitchen, and hearing about him crawling into every corner of your house. Our little Gabe is starting to do the same things, which make life a little trickier but for me, it's so fun to watch him growing and learning as you are doing the same with little Gage. Life is so sweet, so special and goes so fast. Enjoy! He is an absolute little doll :) And P.S. Melody LOVED to read also, just like Gunnar. She still does. What a blessing for you!
