Looking back

Every milestone that Gabriel reaches I can't help but to look back at where we began and thank God for how far we have come. My little angel is so full of energy and personality. He has a contagious smile and keeps us all laughing with his antics, silly noises and dancing. His favorite game is "the get'em" game. He loves for Keven or I to chase him around the room and then tickle him. Sometimes he crawls away quickly laughing and will stop and look back to make sure you are coming.

He has left "the bottle" in the dust and is now exclusively drinking from a straw cup. He talks all day long, only I don't understand yet. He loves to share his food with Rahja and thinks I don't notice when he casually drops a piece of whatever he is having off the side of his chair for her. Speaking of food, he seems to only want to eat cheese, bananas and toast (or grilled cheese). Occasionally I can get an egg in. I sneak it in with french toast. At least he still loves his milk. He is great in restaurants and lets me wander around the aisle at Target and Home Goods...thanks to his shopping cart cover ;-)

I can't wait to see what is next!
