5 month old

It is crazy to think that we have a 5 month old before we know it we will be planning his 1st birthday party!!!

I don't have any new weight and height info on Gabe since he won't return to the doctor till after Christmas for his 6 month check-up and shots. Although I do have lots of info on Gabe's busy life...

He has now had all the stage 1 fruits and veggies we can find and loves nearly everything, what he isn't crazy about we just mix with cereal and it's all good. He also loves drinking juice and even more just plain water out of his sippy cup that he can hold mostly be himself. He eats food twice a day and by 6 months he should be eating 3 meals a day the doctor says. He has also gotten down to 2 naps a day maybe 3 on bad days and yes we have them (teething is so much fun!). His favorite thing to do is play on the floor and does well entertaining himself for a while. In the past week he has starting scooting himself around really well to get to what he wants. Actually this morning he was on his blanket and while Michael and I were looking at the Christmas pictures of the 4 kids together he scooted himself about 5 feet over to a box of open Christmas lights.

From where we were sitting we almost couldn't see him, I guess that is what we have to look forward too.
Gabe also is working on his sitting up and is doing pretty well, I still but the Boppy behind him so he doesn't bust his head. He has gotten strong enough so when he leans over to get his toes and can now sit back up.

Gabe is just a very busy boy, for you that see him often you know what I mean. HE NEVER STOPS MOVING!!! When he starts crawling, which will probably be in a couple weeks I am really going to have my work cut out for me.

I had to post this picture of my boys because it was just adorable. I couldn't believe Michael got Gabe to hold the bat just like he was going to swing it.

In other news this past week has been very busy in the Adams' Family Home on Wednesday Gabe and I babysat cousin Charles and had a wonderful time, somehow I didn't get a single pictures of the boys together. We went to Aunt Mandy's and played with Emma and Ethan, they all have so much fun playing together.

For Thanksgiving we went to Meme, Nanny and Papa's house (Michael's Mom and grandparents) and had a nice time with everyone.

Then on Friday the Hanke/Adams' women went and took all 4 kids to get their pictures taken for Christmas. The pictures turned out amazing, but you can't see them till Christmas!!! Then Gigi and Pop Pop grilled out steaks and chicken for dinner and we all hung out. It is great watching the kids all play together, they have the best time.

Then this morning while Uncle Aaron, Aunt Angela and Charles were still in town we went and had breakfast at Gigi's and Pop Pop's, then went to Dobbins Park. Once again Gabe was not amused even though Charles had a blast.
