14 Months Today!

Has it really been another month?! Here's your "What Gabe's Been Up To" update.

*He absolutely loves to help out. He hands mom the pillows when she makes the bed. He will get his plates and sippy cups and place them on the table. He will basically hand anyone anything if you tell him to.
* His latest word is 'car.' Many words are 'ba,' including: bath, ball, banana, bottle, etc. He is starting to try to say his name with 'Ga.' He says 'mama' and 'omma', 'dada' and 'pa', which I think is his version of 'appa.'
*Since about 13 mos he has gotten pretty cuddly. He will lay with me on the bed or sit with his dad on the couch. He also gives kisses and hugs and will come in for a cuddle, unprovoked or provoked, often.
*He still loves his food. Anytime he's fussy, just give him some food and he's happy. He also wants whatever you're having. He's started to want to use utensils on his own. He also likes to place the food ON the spoon...this is a guaranteed toothy grin.
*Speaking of teeth...he has a ton coming in right now, too many to even count. He's handling it well though.
*He loves to show you his teeth. Just say 'teeth' and he'll open his mouth wide.
*He loves to get his dance on. Anytime he hears music, anywhere (commercial, tv show, radio, etc.) his arms start to flap and you may even get a spin.
*Uh-oh or 'uh-uh' as he says, is still in heavy rotation. I've even heard him babbling that in his crib. He also tries to clean up his mess or his 'uh-uh', either on his high chair or if milk or water spills out of the sippy cup.
*He loves to be chased. When you catch him, he squeals in delight.
*Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? is currently his favorite book. If you say 'brown bear,' he'll repeat back his version. He will then go find the book, hand it to you (even put it in your hand), then climb in your lap.


We just love our sweet and precious little boy...it's hard to imagine life B.G. (Before Gabe)!!!
