Growing Up

Gabriel continues to grow and amaze us every day! He walks easily on his own and does so every chance he can. He usually only crawls to get to something to help him stand and walk. He loves to climb. And he is starting to go up and down steps while standing up and holding onto the doorjam or wall. Gabriel has been trying out non-baby food for a while, mostly bread products like graham crackers, animal crackers, bread, and bagels. Now he likes peas and corn and will eat fresh fruit if I hold it for him. Otherwise fruit is too slimy. He poked at a carrot once, but I think it was just because it was orange (his favorite color)!
