Gabriel's Antics

IMG_2513

Do you see what is happening here? Gabriel is trying to open his gate. After throwing toys into the hall didn't get my attention (so he thinks) he figured he would just let himself out. Not quite tall enough or strong enough for that one yet.

What else has the funny man been up to? Well, this past weekend I made a black bean and cheese breakfast quesadilla and had in hopes that Gabriel and I would sahre it. Black beans had been a hit previously so I thought it would be a slam dunk. I am not sure if it is because they were the low sodium variety or because he thought they were blueberries but he was NOT a fan. He took a few bites and then one by one, while looking me in the eye, started hiding them under his leg. I tried not to laugh but couldn't help it. I don't know if he thought I wouldn't notice or just didn't care. The funniest part is that usually if he is finished or doesn't want something he feeds it to Rahja...I guess he figured that even she wouldn't like these.

I sing to Gabriel quite a bit. Well Sunday he sang to me, kind of. He sang "B,C,E." I have been singing the ABC song since birth. Partly because it is educational but partly because it is one of the few songs I can remember from start to finish without having to make up a verse.

Still a funny man Monday morning. I left him in his room, as often I do when I am getting dressed. There is a small couch in his room that got quite a bit of use during the newborm days and was great for my pumping days. Well, Gabriel is now strong enough and tall enough to pull himself up on that couch...so I learned. When I walked in Monday after getting dressed he was kicked back on the couch with his ankles crossed, eating Cheerios and watching TV (I had left it on). Sitting there like that was what he was supposed to be doing.

It is amazing how fast they learn these things! What will he do next?
