Movin' on up

Here is our little man trying to get up and out of his pack and play. Still not crawling, but who knows...maybe he'll decide to pull up and go straight to walking. This was taken earlier this morning.
Oops! I fell over, but I'm still happy!
My quote for the picture below: "What!!! Brett Favre isn't a Packer anymore???"
"Mommy, where are you???
"Oh, there you are!"
Lest you think I'm always happy...(Yes, mom and dad made the grand mistake of waking me up from a nap before I was ready...when will they ever learn?)

Thanks for reading my blog! Y'all come back now, ya hear? ( I would love to say my 6 month old son was smart enough to wave, but I just caught his hand up at the right time.)

Update

It's been awhile since I've posted anything and I think Gabe looks different. Older? (Sniff...sniff). Six months on Wednesday. I can hardly believe it. I got out a new toy today and he seemed to enjoy that. He pulled the blocks out one by one and tasted each one of them. He's sitting up like a champ. He played with these blocks for at least 20 minutes without falling over once.

growing, Growing, GROWING!

Bathtime fun! Yesterday, I put Gabe on the 'infant/toddler' side of the bathtub, as opposed to the newborn side (sitting up as opposed to reclining). It was like I opened up a whole new world to him! He got so excited that he could sit up in the tub! He was splashing around and loving it! I put him back on the reclining side, and he just wasn't going to have it. He insisted on sitting up even on that side. He just loves to sit up and play now, but he still needs some support. It doesn't take him long to topple over if there isn't anyone nearby.

He is so adorable all wrapped up in his towel.
Our big boy greatly desires to crawl! He's scooting around the best he can. He's just getting up on his knees a little and starting to rock back and forth. Watch out world, it won't be too long! We've also recently discovered that he loves sweet potato's (oddly enough since Nathan and I don't.)

Odds and Ends

Here is my 4 month picture with my elephant
And here is my 5 month picture. My, how I've grown!


OK, here's the real 5 month picture. Ha ha.

I do look good in Packer green and yellow! (Do I see my future?)

Go Rangers!

I'm a happy boy! Can you see my tooth?

We sure did have a good (and busy time in Kentucky). I think Gabe's favorite part was Ben (the dog). Everytime Ben was around, Gabe would watch him and laugh. (No, this does not mean we need to get a dog). Gabe did great once again on the airplane and adjusting to sleeping in a new environment. We were supposed to come home on Tuesday, but our flight was cancelled. We didn't mind staying an extra day too much. We're thrilled to be home and have been busy catching up with things.

More pictures of Gabe eating (and drinking?)

Mountain Dew is OK for babies, right?













Eating real food is fun!









Yes mommy, I am old enough to feed myself.


Great...

Gabe's first food!

We tried Gabe out on some cereal today and boy was he ready! He is always watching us eat and drink and trying to reach for our things, so I guess it shouldn't have surprised me! I'm not sure how much actually got swallowed, but he knows what to do with the spoon already.
