Easter

Pics from our Easter Day visit with Gabriella after church on Sunday. Due to the gas prices, we are forced to visit only every other day for the time being-we aren't too happy about it, as she is more alert now that she is 2 months old. But it doesn't seem to be going to get any better-maybe $4 per gallon by Memorial day!

Gabriella had her 2 month shots last Thursday and has been running a fever off and on since, so she has been not feeling well and a bit cranky. They ran all kinds of blood tests, but all came back normal.

Gabriella's baptism

Photos from Baby Gabriella's baptism/dedication to our God on March 15th, 2008 at CHKD childrens hospital with Pastor Brian Forrester. Gabriella wore her button front Christening Dress with adorable pink socks/shoes.

While Pastor was praying for her, she opened her eyes several times to look at him. Close to the end of his prayer, she raised her hand straight up in a "praise God" position and left it like that for several minutes. It was a beautiful sight!

The pastor asked that we all sing Jesus Loves Me together for her and when we did, she opened her eyes and smiled really big, as if to say "yes, I know". Pastor gave us a word from God/scripture that he had never given at any other baby dedication he said. It was from the chapter of John saying, you do not know why this is happening in your life (and Gabriella's) now, but soon you will know. We praise God for this special word from God.

Cute and cuddly

Bath time with Grandma

Gabriella's feeding tube came out of place (as she gags sometimes causing it to jar out of place) so they are replacing it tomorrow via xray help, so for now she is back to an IV.

Josh bathed her for the first time today and they all held her yesterday - I wasn't there, I had to "puppy-sit" for Josh. (boo).

She was sleeping peacefully when I visited her later today, held her little hand, said a prayer, and sang "Jesus loves me.' She stirred a bit trying to see who was holding her hand, but she was sedated.
