Gabriel's half birthday!

Tomorrow, September 10th, is Gabriel's half-birthday! He will be 1 1/2!! Wow how time flies. He is learning so much these days. He makes me smile everyday. He loves to run...from us and laugh. He loves to play peek-a-boo, around corners, behind the couch, in the curtains, where ever he can find. He loves to climb the stairs...which is a half crawl. He can open doors, and also loves to close them. He likes to throw things in the trash although doesn't seem too interested in cleaning his room. He still thinks every call is for him, which is becoming a bit of a problem. He is still Mr. Saturday Night Fever and will dance to anything! He loves Rahja and her name is one of his favorite words to say. She sure is a good sport. He goes from hugging her to hitting her and back again. All in love of course. I feel like we are only days away from a verbal explosion of words. I have a feeling once he starts he isn't going to stop!

Here he is playing with a ballon that I bought for his 1st birthday party. It lasted 6 months!
