Escape artist

Gabe can now open the baby gate latch. So now we have to be sure to do the extra step and put the red child latch down as well. I am sure it won't be long till he figures how to escape again. He runs through the open gate to get to the letters on the fridge. He gets so mad when he is intercepted. Good times here at our house.

Stylin'

Sometimes you can't resist. Here are Gabes new shoes.

Horsey

Gabe loves his horsey that his Daddy built for him! Sometimes he prefers to ride it like this though.

I have this

favorite things

Gabriel's latest favorite things are ride on toys, his rocking horse his Daddy made him, Cheerios, Rusty, and escaping through open baby gates. We recently taught him how to do "touchdown!" He throws his arms up and says touchdown. It is adorable. He weighs a little over 20 pounds and has a big belly. He is smiling and happy every day and loves life!!

Cheerios

Johnny: "he eats Cheerios like I eat chips". --said about Gabriel who had two full handfuls of Cheerios

School pics

Gabe got his first school pics taken! They are super cute but poor Gabe has soo many scratches and boo boos on his face. He is just learning to walk and keeps falling on his face. Poor Gabey.

yes

High Five

Giving Daddy a high five! He loves to give high fives and will stop what he is doing to give you one if you ask and put your hand out.

this pic cracks me up. He is usually so smiley and in this pic he is saying "do you smell something?" "Its not me is it?!"

And we had some time to take Christmas card pics. They turned out so cute! He was so cooperative that I didn't know what to do. I felt like I should keep taking photos but I knew I already had what I needed/wanted. So then Gabe and Daddy played in the Cozy coupe (that he LOVES) and on the swing (also LOVES). Those are definitelty his two favorite outside toys. for sure. First Gabe Flew

Then he showed us how well he can walk:

oops!! down he goes!!

alright while I'm down here maybe I will crawl around a bit

OK, maybe I will get up again

psshh...maybe not

who wants to get up when i look this good!

then i did a zombie walk!

I had lots of fun laughing at Daddy! He was being sooooo silly

then it was time for a hat change! I was NOT happy about that!

I am such a good walker! i walked ALL the way over to Daddy!! It was a far distance!!

i got to hang out with my best friend Rusty

then on to my favorite things!
