Christmas 2008!!!

So Gabe has learned that if he does something funny, people will laugh. He's also learned if you do it over and over again, they'll keep laughing. I think we've created a monster...or a show monkey.

Gabe turned 7 months on the 23rd so here are some pictures of him.

We've been in Logan with the Maw and Paw Egli for Christmas. Here are some of the highlights so far...

Gabe by his first Christmas Tree

Aunt Tiffy gave Gabe his first Dr. Pepper...

(the cold can was good for those two teeth coming in)

Gabe has been hanging out with...

Great Grandma Aldridge
Aunt Tiffy
Uncle Sean and Ivan

and of course, Grandma and Grandpa Egli

He also got a new snow suit -

...so we also had a chance to play in the snow a little.








We made a family of snowpeople











Christmas Day!!!

A little bit of random

I included the picture above specifically for my nephew, Cole, who loves trains. Brian and I took Gabe to the Toledo Zoo (thank you EMU SOAR for admission) light show. We didn't see much of the light show because it was -75 degrees out or something like that, but there was a huge TRAIN display inside- about 30X10 feet. I took a picture for Cole, but am sure he would have enjoyed it much more in person.

The picture below is with Gabe and his cousin Claire. They were born 3 days apart, but Claire feels like a sweet little doll compared to Torrito Gabe. (Brian's grandparents call Gabe "Torrito" or "little bull".)

Here Gabe is with his cousin, Elijah, who likes to read to Gabe. Elijah would get quite offended with Gabe's arm flails and told him, "no Gebe, no hitting." Gabe was also banned from chewing on his books when Elijah was around.

Bath time. Don't worry. We normally don't have that much water in the tub when he's bathing. 

And a big thank you to Aunt Tiffy for the cute vest (and other items) she sent last month.
