I know, strange title for a blog post! But, seeing as I have been picking up a lot of second-hand toys for Gabe lately, it kind of has been Christmas for the LaTour household!
The boy turned 37 weeks this week. I think he's trying to push out another tooth because he has been awfully drool-y and almost constantly has his fingers in his mouth, chewing away. No sign of any additional pearly whites yet though!
I pulled out Gabe's shape sorter block (thanks Uncle Gregory & Auntie Christina!) and started working with him on shapes and colors. He actually will put a block on top of the corresponding hole if I tap on the box and then he'll push on it when I hold it over the hole and ask him to push! (Then he peers into the hole to see where the block went!) So fun to see him learning!
We had a doggie visitor this week, and Gabriel LOVES animals, so it was a match made in heaven!

Gabe also will now touch his finger to your pointed finger. I am hoping this progresses to high-fives soon! Click

We met up with friends Julia & Irina at Elm Park for lunch after the breastfeeding support group meeting. It was a beautiful day - perfect for a picnic! Gabe passed out on the blanket after lunch.
On Friday, we took off to Tower Hill Botanical Garden for "Free Fun Friday" adventures. Just before we left, we ran into Amanda, Ginny, & Sammy (Gabe's birthday buddy!). Gabriel was looking around everywhere; so glad we can expose him to some fun things locally when he is so young.
