It’s been awhile since we’ve done a blog post so here are some random pictures of the guy you all have been waiting to see:
Gabriel in his swing. Sometimes he falls asleep in it but not if I put him in it when he is already cranky.
It was really warm here a couple days last week so I let Gabriel take a nap in just his diaper.
I got Gabriel a Bumbo seat at a garage sale this week. He likes it ok, but I think he is still getting used to the idea of being bent at the waist (in a sitting position).
Grandpa Finke came to visit on Monday. Gabriel and I had a mom and baby class though, so we didn't get to visit for very long.
Gabriel smiles all the time now. Sometimes I'll just be holding him while doing something else and I'll look down at him and he'll just be smiling up at me. He's also started laughing a little bit. It's pretty high pitched and kind of girly but so darn cute.
Unfortunately, he is not always happy. But he usually doesn't cry for long. Overall, I'd say he's a happy baby.
Another thing Gabriel has started doing is putting his hands in his mouth. Consequently, he has also started gagging himself with his thumb. He always looks kind of stunned when it happens – like he can’t figure out what’s making his eyes water.

Such a cutie. I know what you mean about gagging – Bennett does also. And take him out of that Bumbo seat – it makes him look wayyy too big already ;-)

Gabe and Bekah have the same blankets – both the soft green/fuzzy brown AND the circles flannel blanket :)
