15 Months!


For his 15 month marker, I thought I would list 10 things I love about my son.

1. I love that he will sometimes spontaneously start laughing so hard and his whole body will tense and shake. This usually occurs when he's with fun people, during a good meal, or dancing. It's like he's so excited to be in this moment, that he can't control himself.

2.I love that when I ask him to say "I love you," his face softens and he gives me a kiss.

3. I love that he tries to imitate everything we do...like trying to snap his fingers.

4. I love that he tries to repeat a lot of the things we say and I can tell what he's trying to say. To most it's just 'bah,' but I can tell the subtle difference between the 'bahs.'

5. I love to hear him babble and watch him play in his crib.

6. I love his laugh and smile...they are both totally infectious.

7. I love that his favorite show is TPIR (though he still not very interested in TV). He likes to clap along, dance to the music, see the bright colors, and that his favorite thing comes up often...a car.

8. I love that he has a few new dance moves and his new favorite 'jam' is "Kids" by MGMT.

9. I love that when I say "adios" he starts to wave good-bye.

10. I love that he is such a B-O-Y...but is also oh so sweet.

Aren't big giggle/ belly laughs the absolute BEST?
D also attempts to "snap" when we do. Pretty cute.

Happy 15 months, Gabe! He is getting so big! I must tell you that I am oh so jealous of that T-shirt Gabe is wearing. I LOVE it and wanted to order it on Tea a few weeks ago, but they only have small sizes left. It is so cute on him!
