Six Month Portraits

How cute is he???

Foot in Mouth

Gabriel thinks that sucking on his big toe is a neat trick. Goofy boy!

6 Month Check Up

Gabriel went to see Dr. Roberts today. He weighs 24 lbs. 10 oz which is off the chart in percentiles. He is 28 1/2 in. tall which is the 97th percentile. She says that he is perfect and healthy. He is to finish all of his first foods and start second foods. She also wants him to have juice once a day.

Dr. Roberts, Mommy, and Daddy are all really proud of our chunky monkey!

Sippy Cup

We tried drinking from a sippy cup yesterday. He has been showing interest in Mommy and Daddy's cups lately --- trying to grab them and put his mouth on the rim. He liked the sippy cup, but it was more fun banging it on the high chair.

Vroom Vroom!

Now that Gabriel has outgrown his baby swing, he is enjoying his exersaucer in its place. He is able to touch the bottom with both feet now.

Weeeeeeee!

Gabriel loves to swing outside --- if only the mosquitos weren't so vicious!

Splish Splash

Gabriel LOVES his bath time! He splashes water all over the bathroom and thinks it is so much fun!

Reading a Good Book

Gabriel and I sat down on Saturday and enjoyed our favorite book together.

Birthday Boys

Cousins Bobby and Ben had their 11th birthday celebration last Sunday. Gabriel enjoys spending time with his older cousins and his Great PaPaw.

Beyond Bath and Bed Times

As the hour reaches nearer to 8 PM, the little boy becomes more and more unhappy. As you can see he was having a little meltdown in the floor.


Hershey is now answering to the name Gabriel. He thinks that if his name was Gabriel then he would be getting much more attention. As I was saying Gabriel's name to get him to smile for the camera, Hershey struck a pose.

Oh, Happy Day!

Gabriel is sitting up with some support from the Boppy pillow. He likes his keys because of the bright colors and different textures. Gabe has also been having a little teething pain. He likes to chew on this firefly toy after it has spent a little time in the freezer.

Cooling Off

Gabriel and Mommy cooled off in the swimming pool. He has decided that he he likes spending time in the water.

Swinging

While Mommy was in Reno, Daddy bought Gabriel a swing to hang in the tree in the backyard. Fun!

Holdaway Family Reunion

Gabriel spent the weekend at the Holdaway Family Reunion. He got to meet about a hundred of his cousins, most of them for the first time. Here he is with his Uncle Brian and his cousin Karen. Gabriel was quite the looker in his Holdaway Reunion onesie that his cousin Michele made for him.
