Construx

Here's a cute picture of Gabriel helping Paul build a roller coaster out of Construx for a tennis ball. A Christmas tree is next, pics soon.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a special Thanksgiving: Paul's older brother flew down from Washington. So Gabriel and his two boy cousins (all born within a year of each other) were together for the first time. It was great to see how quickly babies change as we observed the three cuties. We took pictures at the local park, here are the three dads and sons. Gabriel loved the swing though he was still a little too small.

After we got home Friday, we learned that the stomach flu had gotten passed around! I was sick all day Saturday and Gabriel got it that night. Paul is fighting it off currently. So if you're in the area, DO NOT stop by for at least a week (we don't know exactly how long the germs live).

Crawling

Paul said that Gabriel crawled two inches yesterday while I stepped out for an errand! Well, it was more of a scoot. He's definitely trying.

Rolling Over

Today is Gabriel's 4 month birthday! At his check-up appointment today he weighed an ounce shy of 14 lbs. Last night he decided to impress me by rolling over from his tummy to his back all on his own, TWICE. I tried to get him to do it again on camera this morning, but this time he didn't quite make it.

Giggles

Did we mention that Gabriel now giggles and laughs at times? We'll try to get it on video. He is also doing raspberries (tthpts!) now. Both with the tongue out and with just the lips. We had a fun evening with him the other night exchanging raspberries!

Belly Time

Hanging Out

Gabriel and Paul, hanging out together.
