Getting His Walk On...

Gabriel is on the move and there is no stopping him, no matter how much I'd like to slow him down a bit. Today while playing alongside Louis he stood up at one couch and let go, walked three steps to the next couch. I couldn't believe it! His legs aren't ready for independent walking yet but I don't think it'll be long before he's attempting to take more steps on his own. He is also able to climb the stairs so we've been putting up the baby gate on the stairs---something we didn't even think to do until Leah and Louis were a year old. Basically? If Leah and Louis are off somewhere? It is EXACTLY where he wants to be.

Driveway Chalkboard

Gabriel doesn't know what to make of chalk. Is he supposed to eat it? Throw it? Smash it? He has no idea but he still loves to play with it. Here he is getting ready to take the chalk from Louis.

We have a tooth!

Surprisingly Gabriel has cut a tooth BEFORE a year :) Leah was 9 months or so, Louis was 14 months so I had no idea when Gabriel would get his first tooth. It's a little itty bitty thing and has yet to make the rest of the way through. I wonder when the rest will make their way out of his gums.

Bagel Bandit!

Better guard your plates if Gabriel is around! Louis moved away from his plate for a split second and Gabriel was right there to take his place. This is the same child who 2 weeks ago would've screamed bloody murder if you tried to give him food.

Heading Out

Went out for a bit today & tried out a back carry in our Obimama Mei Tai. My BabyEtte Poncho has been the perfect cover for this Winter's babywearing excursions.
