A New Tooth

I was driving to Plymouth today on the way to my friend Amy's baby shower and thought to myself, "Amy's shower is on the 29th and that is today. Hey! That means that the 26th was Thursday. Gabriel turned 7 months old with out me even realizing it!" I don't know how that happened, but time is just flying by. 

Our little man is now sitting up and playing with his toys for as much as an hour at a time. He also can get just about anywhere he wants because he has started scooting across the floor along with all the rolling and turning. And yesterday I noticed that he has a brand new tooth! I have been waiting for one of his top front teeth to pop out but he tricked us and sprouted the one next in line on the top left side. I think the right side will be out soon and I bet the top front will not be long. 

I was able to get a picture of it yesterday but I can't find the camera cord to put my pictures onto the computer so I will have to do that soon. 

Another trip to Maryland

Last week Mia, Gabriel, and I went to Maryland with Grandma Teresa to visit Aunt Cori. On the way the laptop decided to die so when we got home Mike and I made a trip to the Apple store and bought a new iMac. So now I can update you on our trip.

Monday we loaded up the ol' Chevy Venture and headed out at 9:30 am. We planned on driving about 8 hours or so and staying the night about an hour and 30 minutes "drive time" from Cori's apartment. It took 11 hours, 2 stops at Target (one for baby food and one for the formula I left sitting on the counter at home), 1 stop for lunch, and who knows how many bathroom breaks to get to our hotel. When we finally got there the computers where down and the person working at the front desk that day didn't write who was in what room so the first two rooms we got where occupied.  By the time we got in our room and headed over to Cracker Barrel for dinner it was 9:30 pm.

After a good nights sleep we headed to Cori's apartment. When we got there we ate lunch and took the Metro to D.C. to go to the Air and Space museum and the American Indian museum. When we got back we played on Cori & Paul's new Wii and had lots of fun making Miis for everyone, including Gabriel.

On Wednesday morning we took Cori with us to Williamsburg, VA and stayed at a resort for 2 nights. Mia LOVES everything that has to do with the "olden days" so this was the perfect place to take her. We walked around Historical Williamsburg and also visited Jamestown where we got to see how the Indians lived and we got to do some of the everyday chores they did.

By Friday I was ready to get home, so at 7:00 we started by taking Cori home. At 11:15 we stared the long journey home. My mom was a little worried about driving all the way home but I told her that we didn't have to stop at Target 2 times and this time lunch would be a drive-through. We made it home in 9 1/2 hours!!!
