Cooling Off

It was a hot weekend, and Gabriel found a great way to cool off. Grandma and Grandpa bought him a swimming pool. After a cool dip with Dad in the pool, Uncle Ed let him eat part of a Freezer Pop . . . Mmmm.

Ridin' in Style

Gabriel has outgrown his car seat/infant carrier so now he has a "big boy" car seat. He loves how much room he has to stretch out.

Mommy brought Gabriel a new outfit from Reno. He is stylin' in this outfit! He was liking the sunglasses.

Eureka!

He is starting to figure out his exersaucer. He LOVES spinning the bead ball on his tail fin.

Chillin'

All is not hard work and training. Sometimes he just has to kick back and chill with dad.

Olympic training

Gabe has advanced in his training. He is now working on the gym rings.

Crazy Days!

With Denise in Reno for the week Gabe has begun intense meditaion. This yoga move is called the dead cockroach.

On a side note, he has also decided to take it easy on his old paw. He slept straight through the night last night!!!! 10 HOURS STRAIGHT! I jumped out of bed at 4 AM thinking he was dead, and I had not heard him...nope just snoozing.

A Little Trick!

Let's face it. . . as you can see from previous posts, Gabriel hates his cereal. When he isn't spitting it out, he is crying and refusing to open his mouth. Tonight Mommy discovered a trick! We mix his rice cereal with a little applesauce and thin it with breast milk. As soon as he got past the new texture and the fact that it was cold, rather than warm, he could not get enough. He finished all of his cereal with no fussing! Success!

Napping

Gabriel fell asleep while kicking his feet. His foot is propped up on the Boppy pillow, and he is cuddling with his blanket.

Froggy

Gabriel likes to lay in the floor and play with his toys. Today he had a froggy toy whose head lifts up to show a little mirror. See the concentration on his little face!

No Thank You!

I think that the face says it all! Gabriel was not in the mood for kisses.

Hanging out in PJ's

Sometimes we just hang out in our PJ's and play!

Play Date

Gabriel and his friend, Sam, enjoyed a little playtime today. It's nice that they enjoy the same toys right now. Sam is six weeks older than Gabriel.

High Chair

Gabriel is not completely happy about eating cereal. It's a lot of work and a slower process than a bottle or Mommy. He gets a little frustrated about the "cereal thing" when he's hungry. This was his first time sitting in his high chair to eat.
