Shower Dancing Baby

Gabriel loves to dance, even in the shower. I was having difficulties loading this video up on the blog but after a few tries I am happy to have it on here. I hope everyone gets a kick out of it as I do. Even Ming gets to watch Gabriel's wild and wacky wet performance on a nightly basis.

Gabriel: "I like 2 Dance!"

OMG! just look at his cute little legs go! It is only good with him in his diaper so that you can really see them legs go. He does this all day and never runs out of energy. I just don't know where he gets all that energy from...I think he sucks it all out of me. The dogs are use to it but they are more concerned over the little orange pumpkin. It is in the path of the dancing toddler. Ian likes to call him Happy Feet. I love this video!

Christmas Baby

Merry Christmas! Another year has gone by so fast. You can't believe how much Gabriel has grown. He will be 2 years old in less than a month from now. His cousin Marika managed to get the bow on his head without him realizing it. He makes such a handsome present. She also made a few cakes in her Betty Crocker oven from 4 years ago...the photo doesn't show you how thin, dry and limpy they were...tasteless. I need to make a complaint cause if a fat Asian girl won't eat it, then you know it has got to be pretty bad.

Christmas(eve) at Gramma's

Here are some photos from Christmas Eve at Gramma's house. The little ones had a great time and as you can see so did the grown ups. Gabriel and his cousin were obsessed over the refrigerator. They were in there for at least 20mins total. Just moving things around. It was over 60 degree that day and so they also got to go out back and play in the yard again. The weather here is so weird. Uncle Bill and his family were there and we all had a great meal together. Gabriel did eventually warm up to his Granduncle Bill and had a good time. It was impossible to get a photo of Gramma and her 2 little "angels". She even got on her knees but they didn't buy it.

Gabriel's Cool Hang Out

Gabriel loves to hang out at all the coolest places. Here he is checking out his Gramma's fridge once again. She always has a plethora of goodies and cheese in there. Gabriel started his love affair with refrigerators with this original fridge. When he was about 8 months old he would use his little arm and hand to hold the door open so I could not close it. He was on the other side in his little wheeled walker. All I would see in the kitchen was his hand holding on for dear life. He was so funny. Can't say he isn't my kid, it is all about where the food is kept.

Marika's punishment PARTY!

Marika was being punished for not doing her assignment for the 3rd time. She got her timeout Auntie style! She was 3 yrs old the first time she had to pull her ears. Her cousin Nik was next to her back then doing the same thing. This time she had Gabriel to keep her company and her BFF Aleesa. Gabriel was hugging and leaning on Marika and that didn't make it any easier for her since she can't touch the wall. Gabriel also laid on her legs and tried to figure out why his cousin was looking at the wall. Let's just say I got those assignments pretty quick.

Darby and Ming -The Lost Cell Phone Photos

Darby...the first photo of her on the blog. She was such a wonderful girl. This was 2 yrs ago at the condo while I was pregnant with Gabriel. Ming was still a puppy and loved that sock cow. He chewed it all up and ate the stuffing out of it. Darby would just rip the stuffing out of her toys and Ming would eat it all. She was above the whole eating of the polyester innards...she prefered real food. Thank you very much. As Matthew always said of Darby...she was a "lady".

Marika-The Lost Cellphone Photos

Here is Marika about 2 years ago when she was 10 years old. She was still cute then. ha! I love the one with her in the Thai kickboxing outfit modeling her prized crossing guard vest/belt. She was so proud to be a hall monitor @ her elementary school. The other one is her favorite past time...eating. What more need I say.

Gabriel - The Lost Cellphone Photos

Here are some photos of Gabriel when he was less then a year old. They were on my cell phone and I was never able to get them off until now. The bottom photo with him in blue was the day I had to go back to work after having him and enjoying the 3 months at home with him. I loved his little baby feet. It's being modeled on his Pappa's belly. I must of gave him a hundred kisses before I finally walked out the door. It was so hard and Matthew was like "GO!". The one in red is his little Hitchcock pose. I thought it was so cute with his double chin...He is so cute.
