Weekend Hyjinks

Saturday morning was interesting at our house. Daddy and I got up and bummed around for a little while then decided to hurry up and fix and eat breakfast before Gabe woke up. We were beginning to wonder if he was going to sleep all day and just as we were getting up from the table, the little fellow let out a yell and commenced to crying. I went in all nonchalant to get him up and just cracked up when I saw what had happened. See, Gabe has always had this little bear that lives on the headboard of his crib.

He has always lived there - he is kind of wedged between the crib and the wall so that he doesn't fall into the crib. Well, apparently on Saturday morning, he DID fall into the crib and proceeded to attack Baby Gabe!! Gabe was wedged in the crib sideways and the bear was on top of him. He had a grip on his neck though, and he wrestling him for all he was worth, but he was still crying for a little help from the grown folks. I did save Gabe from that monster bear, but not before I called Daddy in to take a look. Then I made sure the bear was tightly wedged back in his spot. He gets one more chance - if he jumps down on my baby again, he will be banished to the toy box!

On Sunday, we all went to Toys R Us because they had Baby Einstein DVDs on sale! I don't know about Gabe, but I was tired of watching the same three movies over and over so I picked out three new ones for him. I was browsing the clothes and Daddy was getting antsy so I told him I saw some shades up near the front of the store and to go pick Gabe out a pair since he would need some for the beach (and for those bright afternoons on the way home from daycare!). Gabe picked out a very special pair - he said he liked them because they matched Pa Jerry's SSR. They have silver flames on the side that are the same color as the SSR! Here he is styling in his new shades...

I couldn't help but crack up everything I looked at him with them on!

And here are his very first school pictures taken a few weeks ago (6 months old). (I made them kind of grainy - didn't mean to but you can probably get the picture (no pun intended))!
