Day 52

Dear Daddy,

Today was just another boring day. Mommy worked so I had to stay with Grandma and Julia. They took me for a walk and I had fun seeing the animals like the squirrels and birds. 

After we picked Mommy up, we came home and had lunch and then Mommy and I took a nap. As I said, boring. When we woke up we played for awhile with all my toys and Mommy kept trying to help me walk but I'm being stubborn and not wanting to walk. Julia says that I will walk when I feel like it, which is true. I'm the prince, so I will decide when and where I will start walking. Right?

Love, 

Gabriel

Day 51

Dear Daddy,

Today I woke up a little better so Mommy thought I was up for the playdate we had planned. I refused to nap so by the time it was time for the playdate I was starting to get fussy. It only got worse, I didn't want to share my toys and I wasn't having fun so we went for a walk and I took a nap. I napped for almost an hour and a half but woke up even crankier than before. Brandon and Adrienne left when they saw that I just wanted to be with Mommy and then we went to nurse. She was hoping that I would fall asleep again but I didn't. So I was cranky for the rest of the day and Mommy was not having a good day so we were both having a bad day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Love,

Gabriel

Day 50

Dear Daddy,

I'm writing a day late since yesterday after Mommy got off work she had to take me to the after hour doctor because I was not feeling well at all. So we got home pretty late and couldn't update. 

The doctor said I was fine, but I don't feel fine and have been giving everyone a hard time and being very fussy.

Love,

Gabriel

Day 49

Dear Daddy,

Today was a very special day. Mommy, Grandma Koko, Julia and I went to the pumpkin patch! There was a ton of traffic on the way there but as soon as we pulled into the parking lot I started getting excited because I could see the pumpkins and scarecrows and the train. I had such a great time! I was on a mission to find the perfect pumpkin and along the way I went on the train, saw the animals and of course, Mommy was there armed with her camera so here are some pictures of today!

Finally, I found my pumpkin! It's small and round, just like me!

We really missed you today and we really wished you were with us but next year for sure you will be and we will have so much fun choosing our pumpkins and playing at the pumpkin patch!

Love,

Gabriel

Day 48

Dear Daddy,

Today was a very long day. Grandma and I went to run a whole lot of errands today and then we went to pick Mommy up from work. We came home and ate lunch and played awhile while we got ready to go pick up Grandma from the hospital. When we got there almost at two, Tia Brenda said that the doctors said that Grandma could not go home until they gave her another dose of the antibiotics in her IV but that took forever to do. So since I started getting fussy, Mommy took me to the Children's Hospital to see the train. I just loved the train!

 It was so cool! 

We also went up to the window of the nursery and we saw a bunch of little babies including a set of twin girls. They were so cute that I was blowing kisses at them. After that Mommy took me down to the gift shop and bought me an Elmo book. 

We went back to Grandma's room and Tia Brenda said she was hungry so we went down to the cafeteria and got some food. When we went back up to the room the nurse told Grandma it was time to go home so we finally went home around 5:30. We dropped Grandma and Tia Brenda off and then came home to eat dinner and play.

I was so happy because I got to talk to you today! I love seeing you on the computer and hearing your voice! 

Love you,

Gabriel

Day 47

Dear Daddy,

Well, today was like any other day, I woke up bright and early, ate breakfast, played, pooped, napped. After I woke up from my nap Mommy was home so we played and then we all had lunch. We decided to play some more and then Mommy put me in the wagon and we headed for a walk. Mommy got the most awesome idea on our walk and took me to the park. When we got there I was so excited I was pointing at everything and I was excited to get on the swing. After that, I played on the little train and then tried to climb on the slide. I made some friends and played with them, I even stole one of the kid's pepe and put it in my mouth.

It was really sunny and we were dressed too warm so we headed home. When we got home I played it the wagon and I learned to climb in and out of it. Now I'm a pro!

We were so tired so we took a little nap and when I woke up, Mommy fed me dinner and changed my diaper so we could go see Grandma at the hospital. When Grandma Koko got home we went to see her. While we were there, you called and Grandma was very happy to hear your voice. So was Tia Brenda and of course, Mommy was too. We kept Grandma company until it was time to go home. I was so tired that I fussed the whole car ride home. Mommy gave me a super quick bath, read me a book and fed me. I was out within five minutes. 

Love you,

Gabriel

Day 46

Dear Daddy,

I am writing a day late because as you know now, Grandma had to get her surgery so we went to visit her yesterday. She was so happy to see me, she say's I give her energy. She is such a strong woman, Mommy says it's very admirable. Mommy says her surgery wasn't like last time so that's why she doesn't look bad. A  little tired but really close to her normal self. She's sad because the doctors said she can't lift anything heavy, including me. Excuse me? Who are they calling "heavy"?

Well, we got home close to 9 and Mommy put me to bed and then ate dinner because she was starving. And then she went to bed because she was very tired. 

Miss you so much Daddy and I know we all wish you were here and I'm sure you wish the same. I know you wish you could be with your Mommy but don't worry, I'm big and strong and will take care of her.

Love,

Gabriel
