Gabriel is a very happy baby. He loves his big brother and big sister. Wherever they are? Is where he wants to be. Every morning Louis and Leah come downstairs and no matter how sound asleep Gabriel may appear to be he will wake up right away as soon as he hears them. On the weekends when they sleep in he is usually up looking for them. Now that he's crawling and cruising there is no keeping him away.
Over the past week or so we've noticed his interest in food has changed. He's begun to grab at it and place it in his mouth. Still not crazy about eating but I'm not worried. He's still quite young.
Mastered Skills (most kids can do)
Sits without support
Drags objects toward himself - If Gabriel wants it, he's going to get it.
Emerging Skills (half of kids can do)
Lunges forward or starts crawling - He's crawling and cruising. He has started to experiment with letting go and balancing himself.
Jabbers or combines syllables
Starts to experience stranger anxiety - If Leah or Louis leave the room he will start to cry immediately. I noticed he isn't a fan of when I'm out of sight.
Advanced Skills (a few kids can do)
Waves goodbye - not quite
Stands while holding onto something - He stands and cruises from one thing to another.
Bangs objects together - One of his favorite things to do is bang tambourines together.
Begins to understand object permanence - I play a few games with him, hiding objects under blankets and he notices they're gone and looks for them. He loves to drop things off onto the floor and realizes it's gone when he does.
