did i ever tell you?

11 months old!!

whats new with gabe this month?

1. crawls around chasing and annoying his little dog Bo.

2. stands up by himself, but no walking yet!

3. has 6 teeth.

4. has a cold AGAIN!.... shocker!

5. smiles ALL. THE. TIME. even when he is sick. which is a lot it seems.

6. says "mamma, dadda and doggie" and knows what they mean.

7. L.O.V.E.S. mandrine oranges.

8. still takes two, two hour naps a day, praise heaven above! (i feel this might end soon)

9. claps and waves bye-bye. i'm not real sure if he realizes there is a difference between the two, they are kinda a package deal with him.

10. adores playing with other kids.

11. and my favorite, he loves being read to, you can get out a book and he will crawl over to you as fast as he can with a big smile and sit on your lap clapping and laughing the whole time. 

FETCH I LOVE HIM!

did i ever tell you about this blanket arron made while on paternity leave for 2 weeks after we had the above mentioned little one?

yea, its a quilt! he went to the fabric store, picked out the fabric, put it on quilting frames and tied it. but his mom bound it for him. 

if you're questioning his masculinity, i understand, but i assure you he is still a mans man. 

he is just getting more domestic in his old age.
