Gabriel's New things....

I just love watching Gabriel grow and learn things. He changes every day and it's amazing how big he is already (18 pounds 14 oz!) and how much he's learned in a short 5 1/2 months. He is such a happy boy - only really fusses when there is something wrong and we can usually figure it out and fix it! He loves it when Papa comes home from work in the evenings to play with him.

Yes, teething - and his favorite thing to chew on is a finger.... preferably someone else's besides his own, although he does plenty of that too.

I have been trying to get a picture of his tooth that has come through 2 1/2 weeks ago and this the best I can do :-) You have to look really closely to see it. He also popped a second one earlier this week but it's not big enough to see yet.

Lately he has been obsessed with his hands and will hold one wrist while fanning the other fingers and watching intently....

His newest trick....... sitting up! Here's the tripod pose....

Balancing......

And he did it!

Yay Gabey!!! We still have to catch him after a minute or so but he's getting stronger every day.

Hannah is very proud of his new ability

After his cereal Gabriel gets to drink a little water. He loves big boy cups, although I should probably start him on a sippy cup...

I love all the noises that he makes. His newest is some sort of growling... it's quite cute. (Can you tell we are in love with our little baby!?)
