Wow, did that ever go by fast! Here are the recent "stats" on Gabriel: Gabe is looking less and less like a little baby and more like a little boy. He is so curious, and loves to poke and prod things to figure them out. He has been babbling all sorts of "words", especially "dada", and he also loves to growl. He is fascinated with people's noses and takes every opportunity to point them out (or just grab them). He has really good fine motor skills and uses his little pincer grasp to pick up food and toys. One of his favorite games right now is to play "roll the ball" where you sit in front of him and you roll a ball back and forth- Gabe also kicks it- it really goes where he intends it to go for the most part! Also, he has shown a lot more interest and understanding of being mobile by walking than crawling until yesterday, when he decided that eating Grandma C's shoelaces was interesting enough to try to move across the floor on his tummy. Gabe also loves to have stories read to him. Cheerios are still probably his favorite thing to feed himself. He hates being in the stroller to go shopping, but he loves going on walks outside in the stroller. He also hates going in elevators for some reason. He is a very sweet, affectionate little boy. Although he doesn't like to be held for too long, he does love to give wet kisses and hugs. Gabe is pretty friendly, and as long as he can see someone that he knows, he is happy going to new people to play.
Here are some pictures from the past couple of days. My parents brought Tayler to the MTC and we were able to see him off. It was really good to visit with him and be able to say goodbye at the MTC. Afterwards, Gabriel and I flew back to Oregon with my parents. I will post more about that later.
Anyway, I love this kid, and am enjoying watching him grow and develop! What a sweet guy he is! BJ and I have so much fun with him.
