Long time no post?

Yes, it has been a bit too long. I am going to try to make a better effort at getting some more posts up, even if it is just some photos.

Gabe and I took a last minuet trip to SLC, UT for mothers day. It was the first time in 8 years since I had been able to spend mothers day with my mom. We had a great time.

Gabe is learning so much so fast. Just today I asked him, just in passing while I was crawling on the floor, if he knew where Rylee had left her bottle. He said "yeah" and ran and got it from the next room and then gave it to her. I just couldn't believe it! I knew he was understanding more and more but I had no idea he could do that yet. He is always full of surprises.

Gabe has recently been really fond of wearing shoes and slippers. He will bring them to me to put on, even if they don't match. Here he is the other day playing, notice the one slipper. This is a normal sight here in the house lately, no pants and one or both slippers or shoes.





He's been working on getting his diaper off now, so we'll see what fun that will be.

He also loves to play XBOX with daddy on Saturday mornings while mommy sleeps in.

Just another day at the park

We found a great little park near our home this weekend and Gabe was on cloud nine. It was pretty terrific and even has a spray ground as soon as the weather gets warmer. We can't wait to spend some more play time enjoying this little gem. I see many picnics in our future.

Gabe's first birthday

Gabe is a year old. I can't believe it! It really is amazing how he can go from a newborn to running around the house all in one year. Even though I love to see everything he is learning and all the new things he does, it makes me sad to think how fast it really goes.













Happy birthday Gabe. Mommy and Daddy love you!

Monkey boy

Gabe is ready for his first Halloween. Grandma Sugar found the cutest costume so we just had to get some pictures. We also had Stella join us for the occasion as a cute little witch. The only thing missing was Kaia as a sweet little flower. I hope that over the Thanksgiving holiday we can get some photos of all the little cousins together.



We also had some 10 month photos taken. Gabe is getting so big. He looks so much like a little boy now and is walking all over the place. It all happened so fast, I don't know where my baby went.

He walks

Gabe's been cruising for weeks now but hadn't taken the leap to walking on his own. Till now...



Cruising at 9 months walking at 10. It all happens way to fast.
