Lets start with Lorelai because we haven't had too many great pictures of her on the blog recently. She seems to be in the carrier or too little to partake in the fun fully. We just scheduled Lorelai's Baptism for the 23rd of January. Very exciting! :) I was trying to get a good picture for her invitation and didn't get any fabulous smiles. She seems surprised by the camera...as she's normally VERY smiley. Gabriel was the opposite.

| Oh, hi camera! |
 |
| What are you doing, Mommy? |
 |
| Please stop taking my picture! |
 |
| Oh, fine. Just finish, but I will look at you only with disgust. |
Her big thing right now is working on rolling back to front. She can get on her side, but that bottom arm is getting in her way of making it all of the way over. Those pesky arms...never doing what you want them to. It's funny to watch her as she tries over and over and over again (she's a persistent little thing) and as she does she slowly turns in a circle. She's even kicking her legs while on her belly as though she wants to move forward. Early crawler? I don't know. I guess we shall see. She also has the uncanny ability to make Gabriel giggle like crazy. She likes to "sing" to him, starting with her voice low and making it go really high. This makes Gabriel laugh, which then makes her laugh. LOVE them!
Now for Gabriel. I am learning that my son is quite the womanizer. Seriously. The girls flock to this kid. He gives his little girl-friends kisses, holds their hand, and hugs them. In Kindermusik, as the teacher was reading to the kids, he put his hand on another little girls back as they sat beside each other. And just yesterday he and his little friend from the play date were laying in his new big boy bed under the covers! OH MY!!! lol And I can see why the girls would flock to him. He's well versed in children's literature, enjoys a good movie, can carry on a good conversation with anyone that speaks "Gabriel," shares his toys and food, and has a shy/sensitive side. But, he knows how to whoop it up when the occasion calls for it (most of the time). Not to mention he is just plan
adorable handsome (Handsome gets you more "chicks."). All in all he's quite a catch. Wouldn't you agree?
