Some pictures before the haircut :)

These are the pictures of Gabriel before he had his hair cut :) My little angel :)





Gabi's 2nd haircut

Gabe's 14 months and 8 days old today. Yesterday I decided to give him another haircut. I had to give him something to eat for him to sit still for me and there were only 3 pieces of cookies left and I had to be 'super' quick. Didn't do a bad job after all, I think.

Gabe's a very touchy person. He loves cuddling and kissing. He's learning to feed himself and is learning to draw. It's been a lot easier to communicate with him as he's learned to say more words and able to express more emotions. One thing I find very interesting is that I thought he was always left handed, but recently we've seen him using both hands- often he'd draw with his left hand and eat with the right. He loves his music and sometimes I'm surprised to hear him humming a tune. It is amazing to watch a 14 month old child to be able to do so many things. Anyway, hope y'all enjoy his pictures and would appreciate it if you could pray for him. :)

One thing I learned from women's church 2 weeks ago was that you never stop praying for the children. I've spent more time praying with Gabriel. I pray that God provides for him good friends, good teachers, good leaders. I pray that he'll grow up knowing Jesus and understanding his love and forgiveness. I pray that he'll be a loving person and that he'll put others first. I also pray that God will give him wisdom and strength when he goes through trials and hardship. It is amazing just to see how God's answering my prayers. Gabe loves it when I pray, he'll just put his face on my shoulder and stays quiet until I finish praying, and often it's about 10 minutes plus. I want to encourage everyone to pray for their children and other kids as well, not just once a day but as often as they can. Gabi loves the bible, even the adults' one that has no pictures or anything. He would flip through it as if he's reading it, it's just too cute to watch him doing that.
