Abraham Brad

Abraham Brad Lamoreaux was born April 5, 2001 at 4 am. He was a very easy going baby boy and he had arrived only 17 months to the day after his brother Tucker. These are few pictures of our little man through out his first year.
Abe at age One.
Here are some more of the "Fat Man". The nick name as harsh as it sounds just stuck. He loved it! It later lead to his obsession of Batman and Superman. He thought that Batman was Actually Fatman. I guess it's not hard to tell why he had the nick name. It's funny everyone until about a year ago would tell me how big he was and what a big boy he was going to be. I truly thought so too. He has been my biggest baby and stayed quite solid for years...But about a year ago he thinned out and now he is pretty thin. So much for his nickname.
Abe at two....I want to grab him out of this picture and smoosh him.
I think that forever in my memory that this is how I will think of my boy. He LOVES Superheroes. You would never see Abe without his cape on and he would tell everyone "Me Batman" When we first moved to SG our neighbors had just moved in too. Abe turned 3 when we had been in our new house 2 days. One night when we thought the boys were in bed Bob went outside to find Abe had escaped and was in his Superman PJ's and and and this Superman Cape riding his Spider man scooter. The neighbors were out and were keeping an eye on him wondering if we had any idea he was out, we didn't know each other well enough then to tell each others kids to go back inside. He started the trend in the neighborhood with having a sword down the back of his shirt so he could ride his bike and have his hand free at anytime, you always need a sword right? One of the older neighbors asked Bob why Abe did this, Bob responded "the better question is why don't you do this?"

My handsome boy is now 6 years old!! He was a grumpy baby because he had such terrible respiratory problems. He didn't walk until he was 161/2 months old and he didn't talk until he was 2 1/2 years. Abe has always done things on his own time. He is so clever, he gets all the jokes and he can remember any song he hears and can repeat it at will always amazing me. He loves little "guys" that can be carried around in his pocket and has for as long as I can remember. He fights me on almost everything; for example the striped shorts I bought him for his birthday. He has so many friends and loves to play with them, he is just cool. ( At least 4 friends a day come over to see if he can play.) He loves hot Chocolate and his silky blanket. Abe loves babies...he adores Gilbert. I am so blessed to have kids who play together for the most part really really well. Abe still like to show me he loves me. He still snuggles me and gives me kiss freely. Abe has been a huge blessing in my life I love him lots...my Sugar Baby. Thanks for 6 wonderful years.
