It's been a busy couple weeks around the Booker household. It seems like I've been gone most of the past couple weekends. I'm looking forward to our anniversary on Friday (5 years!) being a little bit more relaxing. We're going out to dinner and then to see the last installment of Harry Potter! My parents gift to us is keeping the kids overnight so we can even sleep in the next morning! (Am I getting old or what?? This is my idea of a great anniversary!!)
Callie is going great guns. She's testing her limits and mothering Gabriel all the time. She's still making up songs. I really wish I could get it on video, but she stops when she sees the camera. She loves going to "MicaDonalds", but fortunately, just because she thinks it's a playground. She rarely asks to go there to eat. The past couple times we've gone out, she's actually asked to go to Chili's.
Gabriel is walking more confidently and adding to his vocabulary. If you say "Ready, set . . . " Gabriel says "Go!" I've been working with him to do more signing, but he's mainly just doing the "please" sign. He'll do more while he's watching the baby signs video, but he doesn't do them much outside of that.
Gabriel got really upset on Saturday - probably the most upset he's ever been - and woke up with little red pinpricks all over his face. I called the doctor, he said not to worry about it. Monday, I happened to have a doctor's appointment with my dermatologist so I took Gabriel with me. He said he would take Gabe to his pediatrician and get his blood tested. Tuesday, I called the doctor and got an appointment, and Dr. Fogo agreed and sent us to the hospital to get a blood draw and run a series of tests for platelet count, etc. So, we're waiting on the results of those tests and praying that nothing's wrong.
Other than that, everything's going very well. We're plugging along! Hope everything is going well with everyone!
We love and miss all our family that lives away from us. God bless you and yours this week!
