A great birthday weekend :)
This weekend I turned 29. A little reminder that Brian and I met our "goal" of having both of our children before we turn 30. (He turns 30 next month!) We were very fortunate not only to celebrate as a family of 4, but that Grandma Cherlyn, Grandpa Greg, and my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew were able to celebrate with us as well! Matt and family were in town for a wedding which worked out perfectly. So glad we were able to visit with them and that they were able to meet their new niece/cousin. :)
Also, I am working on keeping Gabriel entertained while tending to Lorelai. Not always an easy task. Gabriel's personality is one of needing to have someone participate (or enjoy) in his play with him. He is not big on playing alone. It's funny, I was reading about baby astrology (I'm not into astrology, I was just killing time mostly) and it is spot on! He is a pisces:
Seeming like a bit of a lost soul, the Pisces baby will get emotional and start crying for no apparent reason. It's part of this timid baby's personality, along with a tendency to carry things inward and not push them out. Expect a whimper rather than a shriek. Along these lines, the Pisces baby will pick up on the family's vibe, sensing arguments and other familial disruptions, and being profoundly affected by them. This fits in with this child's very caring, almost selfless persona, a quality which manifests itself in things like giving away toys. For this reason, Mom and Dad need to see to it that their Pisces tot doesn't get pushed around in the play group. Extra-sensitive by nature, this child also benefits from an added dose of attention, whether it comes from parents or sibs. With a wandering mind (this is the sign of the dreamer, after all!), the Pisces baby will find it easy to get lost in thoughts, almost blocking out the real world. Safe to say that this kid shouldn't be entrusted with many details -- they will simply forget them! That dream state is one which should be monitored at night, as the Pisces baby will be greatly distressed by bad dreams. To sum up, the Pisces baby would rather give than receive, is dreamy by nature, and possesses the fluidity attached to a Water sign. Let this sweet river flow!
Lorelai is a Virgo like her mommy. :) She's also my little model. She sleeps in the cutest positions. Like she's posing.
