Backward Motion

Gabe is doing a really good job getting around, backwards that is. He hasn't quite figured out how to go forward. This video shows how he is moving around the house. Every once in a while he will get his legs under the couch and then he needs helping getting them out.

No, No, No

Here is a video of Gabe shaking his head. He shakes it when we say no, no, no, or if he sees someone shaking their head. He does this on a regular basis. Gabe thinks it's funny.

"Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow..."

Daddy took Gabe to the Zoo on Feb. 7, I took him the day before. I think he had a good time looking at the animals and bonding with his daddy.

9 Months!

Daddy took Gabe to get his 9 month pictures taken. He loves the camera. I can't believe how big he has gotten. He loves to stand, but not on his own yet. He likes to "crawl" backwards. He pushes backwards onto his knees and sits down. He won't go forward yet, but it is a matter of time before he realizes he can. He's been saying mama and dada for almost 2 months now. He says mama when he is mad or sad. But dada when he is happy. Oh well.

Bubble With Ammy

I just thought these pics were cute of Gabe in the tub. Papa, Ammy, and Aunt Sarah were down to visit and Ammy gave Gabe his bath. He absolutely loves bathtime.

Swinging

There was a beautiful day in January and I took Gabe outside to use his swing for the first time. He wasn't sure about it at first, but now he really enjoys it.

Clapping

This was when Gabe was 8 months old and started clapping his hands. This video is funny. He claps at the beginning, but then he gets excited and flaps his arms.
