*He is beginning to really understand everything you say. If you ask him to go get certain things (football, bottle, his shoes, etc.) he'll find them and bring them to you.
*He still babbles a lot, but the most recent is "Oh-Oh" for "Uh-Oh."
*If you ask him "where is (your milk, the football, etc.)?," He'll shrug his shoulders with a very serious face and put his palms in the air.
Here he is wondering "where is it?":
That's my little 'rascal cat.'*One of his favorite activities is just walking around the house and seeing what new things he can find. He just loves to 'toddle' around.
*Apparently he likes the snow. After the store today, he walked around the backyard in his new boots and just smiled as the snow fell. We also looked out the window and gazed at the beautiful winter wonderland.
*He's still trying to use all his charms on Posie (our cat). Lately, he's been taking her treats and trying to give them to her. She's still not so sure.
Here kitty, kitty, kitty:
*He likes to squint his eyes and blink real hard at mom and have her do it back during his morning bottle.
*He likes to growl and make funny noises.
*In order to let us know what he wants...he sticks his arm out very straight in the direction he wants to go. That can be the crib, the 'Gabe' food cabinet, mom's keys laying on the counter, etc.
*He's not very interested in TV, but there are 2 commercials that he'll stop dead in his tracks for when they come on. One is for Prius, the other is for the Amazon Kindle. It's so funny to see him playing intently, stop everything and start dancing and looking at the TV. Of course, I then rewind it 10 more times for him.
It is a such a joy to see Gabe grow and change every day. He's always learning and trying to figure things out. He's such a fun, happy, funny, smart, active little boy and we gobble him up every day.

I know his growl!:)
And your cat is cute!!
Oh Gabe, you are just TOO CUTE.
I LOVE how Gabe's really becoming a little boy!!!
I miss the "I don't know" (with palms up) phase... And I wish that Spencer knew the phrase "uh-oh" that would help a lot around here! ;-)
It looks like Gabe is up to some fun stuff. That picture with Gabe shrugging his shoulders is great!
Our cat looks just like your Posie. :)
Ooh, I love all these details! I love the fetching stage... can be very helpful for mom and dad. And the shrugging? So cute.
Love the photo of him and Posie. I can totally tell that she's like "dude. Stay where you are."
Happy 13, little Gabe!

What a cutie pie! Brendan does the "Where is it?" trick too!
Happy 13 months Gabe! What a clever and inquisitive little boy you have on your hands. I love it when kids shrug so earnestly for "I don't know" and when they say "uh oh." So cute.
And thank you for posting all the pictures! I love watching Gabe grow up.
