10 Months!

I love this little boy!  I can't believe he is already 10 months old!  We are very quickly creeping up on 1 year!  (I couldn't decide which version I liked better, so that's why there are two, haha!)

Here he is at 44 weeks a few days later:

His shirt says "All American Hunk"

• A link for a video of Gabriel feeding himself
• "I smile at you so you are distracted and won't see me stuffing food I don't want to eat into my bib pocket."

• This kid has soooo many toys.  This week we pulled out a musical table we got from May & Hannah (Thanks!).  It's a good tool for practicing standing too!

• We're still going strong at 10 months of breastfeeding!  This kid still loves nursing even though he eats solid food like a champ.  (I'll admit, I like these close, quiet times too.)

•  I've been working with Gabe on letters and position terms (inside, out, under, on top) during bath time.  He's getting very good at short commands ("put the letters in the bowl," "take the letters out of the bowl").  During morning getting-ready time, he sits in his little seat and plays with a little plastic bowl and the foam letters.  Sometimes I stick the bowl on his head...

• On Friday, we traveled to my mom's in NY for a nice long weekend of fun.  Since Gabe is getting into EVERYTHING, we brought our travel pack'n'play as a sort of baby jail for when we needed a moment of not chasing him around the house.

"Let me out!  I promise I won't get into trouble..."
