I wrote Gabe's whole name in the post title, because I think that I have written it only a handful of times and quite frankly, we forget that we named him that! I don't think I ever shared why we named him that so......when we were deciding Sam's name, I loved Sam for quite some time. Jarrett like Gabriel and for a while his name was going to be Gabriel Reed but I just wasn't feeling it. Then we read a scripture that totally answered that we should name him Samuel. So then with Gabe we had a few simple boy names. Luke has always been a favorite but our last name kinda ruins that bc of the celeb named Luke Wilson....I digress....so with Gabe, we wanted something meaningful, but more than that something we both loved. John Henry was Jarrett's great grandpa and he was a God fearing man, who loved God and showed that to others. So, we thought John was a strong name and then paired it with Gabriel bc I felt that Jarrett should have a say in his son's name too! We had more names that we feel if we ever have another boy we would love to use. Lucas and Ben were next on the list, but with time I am sure that will change and who knows what our next child will be (if there is one)- but the thought of 3 boys makes me very tired and warms my heart at the same time.
Onward! Gabe is 9 months and he is changing so quickly- love this little guy!
Dear Gabe,
9 months already? You are ready to start moving. Scooting all around is your favorite thing to do. You got your first tooth at the beach and I think that more will come in soon. You can almost get on your knees and crawl, but not yet- and I am ok with that. You are a fan of eating food but we haven't tried table food yet- you still choke on puffs! You finally give us belly laughs, but your brother is your favorite person and you will laugh for him in a second. I am getting ideas for your first birthday party, but we aren't gonna talk about that yet...it makes your mama sad.
I love you little buddy!
