DOUBLE DIGITS!!

Let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we? You get to ooh and aahh over my little boy blue, Gable Patrick, who is the big 1-0 today! When Gable was born, the doc said, "Now this is how every baby should look when they are born." He was beautiful and perfect and my biggest baby at 6 lbs. 5 ozs.
Little round, bald head that eventually grew in white hair. Snuggliest, happiest baby, ain't he a cutie patootie? Aww, and Jonah looks so happy to have Gable here in this picture. He was. Jonah was crazy about him. Jonah was, however, disappointed that we didn't name him 'Concrete'.
Don't hold back your laugh, Gable. We can tell by your dimple that you are up to something...
He actually won't be 10 until 11:32 tonight, but he woke us up at the crack of dawn to tell us he was ready to open presents. His smile was a mile wide, so how could we keep on sleeping with that face? It was tough, but we managed to do a few more minutes. Oh, and Gable managed to check something off of his 'life list' yesterday: a backflip off of the diving board! Yeah, Gabe! (It's hard being the middle child when your show-off younger brother does a massive backflip DURING your thunderous applause from the crowd, daggone it)

I don't know if you know Gable. He kind of sneaks up on ya' and gets all wrapped around your heartstrings very quietly and mysteriously. I don't know how he does it, but he does. And no one is the same after they spend a day with Gable. He just makes you feel good. And smile.

A lot.
