The Cutest Baby Ever (like anyone can even know that)
If you do your homework on infant shoes
before you invest in whatever kind of
baby shoes you are looking for you'll find out if
soft soled baby shoes
are appropriate or if you should find another style.
As a birthday present for my mom (and myself), we flew Jessica (the other one) and my beautiful little nephew Gabriel up from Kentucky. He's getting so big, I hardly recognized him--those huge eyes haven't changed though! For my birthday they bought me a precious t-shirt with Gabe's picture and "I Love Uncle Jesse" on the front, by far the best present I've gotten so far.
And in true keeping with the Gardner form, he's a nerd. Upon first arriving at the house, he buried his head in mom's shoulder. I broke the ice by handing him a cell phone, which he immediately snatched from me, opened and began scrolling through my phone book (he's eighteen months). At Christmas he even stole Deannie's phone and dialed one of her college friends. I tried handing him my old stuffed bear; he went for the laptop. The only thing more exciting than his cell phone was my camcorder.
He's talking now, barely. His intonation is that of a charismatic preacher, but I can only understand one in one hundred words. He babbles on and on, with sweeping gestures and earnest facial expressions, and every now and again I hear my name. Either that or the word 'disease', can't quite tell.
Anyway, on to the good stuff. For all of my lazy readers who come only for the pictures, songs and videos, I put together a fun little snippet of this, the cutest baby ever. Enjoy!

What I love about kids that age is that they are are so passionate about what they have to say, but they really aren't saying actual words. It's so great! He is a cutie patootie.

aw, he looks like a sweetie! HAPPY B-Day Mr. G! (28 right?)
5 April 20057. Mr.G:
:-) Thanks all for the birthday wishes. My greatest wish will be granted July 8, 2005, but "until then my heart will go on singing."
For lunch today the ladies in the office bought me a bacon pizza instead of a cake. Hurrah for bacon pizza! I can't imagine why anyone would choose cake over that.
YourThoughts?

5 April 20051. Mr. & Mrs. B.:
Thanks for the joy at seeing y'all. We both enjoyed the comic routine and the music. It did sound more like disease than Jesse, but we still liked the T-shirt idea. Happy Birthday to you and your Mom. Say hi to Jessica for us and give a hug to Gabe for Mrs. B.
