7-months old!

Seven months!?!? Matty and I just can't believe it! We've had such an exciting last month, too! Gabriel now has 5 teeth and 2 more just starting to make their presence known. With the excitement of the new teeth, we've also had our share of illness over the last 30 days. We had our first 3 am phone call to the triage nurse on 10/17. Gabe picked up a stomach virus from daycare on Wednesday so we stayed home with him on Thursday and he appeared to be doing much better. Well, the virus stuck around and I ended up with it Friday morning, Matty ended up with it Friday afternoon and Gabe picked it up AGAIN Friday evening. So there we were, the three of us with fevers and a terrible stomach virus trying to decided if we should just throw in the towel and call 911...it's funny now but it wasn't at the time!!! However, we made it through the night by rocking the baby and getting bits of sleep. We took Gabe into the Dr's on Saturday morning and were told it had to run its course...oh and yah, it's a stomach virus with upper respiratory side effects! So, Gabe also had a runny nose and hacking cough...poor baby!! But, we're all recovered now so life is good!

We hope everyone is doing well and will check back often. With love from our family to yours!
