A Day Of Firsts..

Today was a day of firsts in the Wertzbaugher family.

I noticed this morning that Levi is in fact getting his first tooth... It will probably be here right as he turns 4 months, just like his siblings. I can't believe it. He seems way too little to have his first tooth. I still feel I should be counting his age in weeks, not months. These kids just grow too fast.

Levi had another "first" today. He got his first hair cut. He had this awkward area of hair on the crown of his head that was like 2 inches longer than the rest of his hair and so Jordan and I cut it off tonight. The sentimental side of me wanted to wait until he had a lot more hair to cut so it would be a little more impressive for his baby book, but we still got a little patch of hair to go in a baggy. haha

And lastly, we had a very scary first. Jordan dropped me, Gabriella and Levi off at Target to start grocery shopping while he and Jayden went to Home Depot. We finished our grocery shopping and we were checking the baby clearance for pants for Gabri. I had just told her to get off the self where all the stroller boxes are, I looked back at the pants picked up her size and when I looked back for her.... she was gone. Every parents worst nightmare... I lost my daughter at Target. I figured she was on the other side of the display so I strolled the cart over and she wasn't there. I went in circles looking for her for about 3 minutes and then told an employee what happened. She sent out a "code yellow" with Gabriella's description. About 30 seconds later I found another employee looking for my daughter and over the walkie-talkie they announced that they had found her and she was with my husband.... I was so confused! It turns out Gabriella was in the dollar section and saw Jordan and Jayden walk by. She sweetly said, "Hi Daddy!". Jordan looked around and didn't see me so they started heading towards the women's clothing when the employee that I first talked to said, "Oh you found her!". Jordan didn't realize she was ever lost. Then I turned the corner and had to explain the whole thing to him.

Praise the Lord nothing happened to her. I was so frantic and just praying asking God to bring her to me. It was seriously one of the most scariest things I've ever experienced as a mother. Another lesson learned today: NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF A 2 YEAR OLD!
