Talking

Someone told me that once kids start walking, they suddenly start talking. It's like their brains can only handle doing so many things at once and once their brain figures out how to walk, then it's freed up to do other things, like talking. It Gabe's case, that has definitely proven true! He now regularly says "day-due" (thank you) whenever he hands you something. He says "aye" (hi and bye), "doggy", "daddy", "mom", "ah done" (all done), "nonono" (no), "wow" and "uh-oh". If he sees a duck he'll say "kack!" He also has a bunch of words that he'll say every once in awhile, like "go", "goat", and "chees" (cheese). He still babbles constantly, so he clearly has lots to say, but we can't identify most of it yet. I'm sure that will happen before too long...

I discovered this evening that he's popped tooth number 7. This might explain the crankiness of the last few days.

I haven't posted random pictures in awhile. So here's what we've been up to:

Raspberries are super fun!

Bella got to go to the Arboretum with Gram and Hilary.

Gabe, getting ready to catch the big one!

He was not so excited about riding on the top of the cart...

The two of them love playing together!

If the water bottle that you want is on the other side of the end table, clearly this is the best route to get it...

Book reading with Daddy.
