Too much fun

After a morning of playing with buddies Glen and Maddox, Gabe was way past due for a nap. Needless to say, he woke up hungry!

The Kix bandit strikes again!

Summertime

Yeah for warm weather!!! Enjoy.

Kix are for kids

Kid Tested....

Kix are Gabe's favorite cereal. These photos were taken after I made a delicious dinner, that included all four food groups, which Gabe refused to eat. After fighting with him to eat, I finally gave up, let him down, and went to do dishes. I then heard a rustling in the Living Room and found Gabe, who had gone to the pantry, snagged the box of cereal and started munching down. Needless to say, he was very pleased with himself.

...Mother Approved.

A Day at the Zoo

A year ago....

Sometimes I can't resist going through my old photos. This was one of my favorites from last April. If I could fit Gabe in the bouncy now, you'd have a comparison, but he wanted nothing of that! Of course, Gabe is fully mobile now, so we can hardly keep up with him. Since he got his new kicks from Nana and Papa a few weeks ago he has been climbing mountains (OK, maybe just our sloped driveway). But the grin on his face makes it looks like he just hiked Mount Everest.

Mmmmm...Yogurt

Is there anything funnier than a kid learning to eat? Unfortunately, cleaning yogurt off of the floor, window, lampshade, etc. is not so fun. Thank goodness summer is coming, at least I can hose off the deck. It's not so easy to hose off the carpet.

Multi-tasking

At least he is just reading and driving. You should have seen him earlier when he had his "baby crack-berry" in his right hand. I wonder where he could have learned such behavior?

Swim Diapers

I learned a lesson this week that I am sure most mothers learn eventually. Swim diapers are not equal to regular diapers. We had our first swim lesson this Saturday, which went surprisingly well. And no, I didn't put a huggies on my kid and throw him in the pool, quite the opposite. I remembered to pack everything, except for a diaper for after swim lessons. But I packed 2 swim diapers, so no big deal, right. I'll just throw on a swim diaper for the ride home.
Fast forward 30 minutes, and Gabe is walking across the kitchen , bow-legged, spilling pee all over the floor. You would think that a diaper that cost almost $1 apiece could multitask in and out of the pool. Thank God for the warm weather that allowed Gabe to wander around Grandma and Grandpa's backyard wearing only his new shoes while we scavenged for some dry clothes. Wish I had my camera.

Happy Guy

This is Gabriel laughing hilariously because he has just stolen my pen and thinks that he is getting away with something. The chase is on!
