That's funny you say that Judy! Some people say he looks exactly like me, others agree with you, and some people say they have no idea who he looks like!! And I really have no idea who he looks like either ;-)
Dena, Gabe is doing much better with the screaming thing. We tried ignoring it at first, and when that obviously wasn't working, I just decided to tell him that mommy wasn't going to listen to him if he talked like that...he sort of grew tired of the whole ordeal I suppose :)And he did have a few time outs which seemed to help as well. While he still gets mad and screams at various times (wants to do something/watch something...whatever) I just do not allow him to do it until he can calmly ask for it...and it's been working just fine. I hope that he can continue to learn how to talk "nice" to mommy :) He is a wonderful boy and we've been so blessed! Thanks for thinking of us!
Oh my goodness! I did not realize he was that old! And about to be a big brother, I did not realize you were that far alone! I can't wait to see the new baby!

Isnt' he cute?? Are you getting teary eyed anticipating his birthday??
Sorry I missed your last discussion on Halloween - it's such a good one! I've posted my thoughts on it in the comment section anyways.
He looks so much like Justin!! Jason and I can't believe how big he's getting.

I initially typed this message, but had to delete it because of a typo that made it obscene, oops.
Whoever he looks like, he sure is cute! Hey, how did things ever go with the screaming issue? Any progress?
