the Eyes have it

Poor Mr. PotatoHead. For some reason Gabriel likes to pull the eyes out and stick it in Mr Potato's ear. Everytime. Gabriel might not be the "ideal" future plastic surgeon, but I know that Picasso would be proud with his abstract thinking.

Just Chillin'

Today was a bad "head bumping" and "near misses" day for Gabriel. Gabriel had just fell and hit his left ear (you can sort of see it's red) so I decided to let him hang and chill out in the fridge for a few minutes to take his mind off of the pain. He loves looking in the fridge and then of course stomping and jumping. He gets so excited. I was lucky to get his shot of him. I was thinking of getting a video of him, but he ended up almost falling again so that was the end of that. Fearless.

Disneyland!!!..well sort of

This isn't the better of the 2 videos I got of Gabriel while at the Disney Store, but the other one would not download. He was really interested in Minnie Mouse first for some reason. Then as you can see he turned his attention to Mickey and eventually to Lightening McQueen from Cars. He wanted the car badly. His Gramma had already bought him a t-shirt of Lightening and managed to draw his attention away from the tower of stuffed toys and toward the front door. Unbeknownst to her, there was a Cars display right there at the front and Gabriel silently managed to weaken his Gramma's defenses yet again and walked out of there with more then just a Cars t-shirt. Thanks again Gramma!

The Boy of Summer

This is Gabriel's first time at the beach. He was so excited

when he got to experience sand underneath and between his little feet and toes for the first time. Then he was hesitant as he took in the wide open ocean as he got closer to it. He just stood there staring out. We walked him to the water and you can see him running from the waves. He really liked to stand and experience the water rushing over his legs and feet as it went back out to sea. His Uncle Ian had to "save" him a few times since the current back out to sea was pretty strong. The video shows Gabriel figuring out the power of the ebbing tide. Gabriel also had another first sensation...sand in his diaper.
