Week 11 - I have handsies!.... Great new discoveries.

Gabe has discovered his hands. Yeah they've always been there, but now he KNOWS they are there. All week he's been busy trying to put one or both of them in his mouth as he builds up his control of them, and stops bopping himself on his nose. After all that learning he gets mighty tired.




Morning Zzzzz's



He's reaching out to those bright toys that hang off his capsule bar now. Garreth & I watched him do this, he was so pleased with himself, he would crack a big smile and nearly laugh.




Today while I sweated at the outdoor PT group in the park across from home, Gabe played happily in the pram near us. Finally it wasn't blowing a gale, but a really lovely afternoon to be out. He had plenty of smiles for all the ladies after the session. I didn't keel over. Good bubba!

Frecks loves being in the thick of the family.

Whales!


We saw whales from the front deck this week. Gabe & I were having our usual quiet morning in bed, when Carol (our neighbour) called out at the window, 'quick there are whales'. So out we ran and there they were. The whales were breaching, and tail flapping straight out in front of the house! Not much past the shark nets. What more did we want on a perfect morning? Sorry no pictures, too busy enjoying the view with Gabe.


Here's some cute pictures of the little guy, posing as he does every morning.



Mr Serious





This is how the little guy was sitting! I did not pose him. lol

 I sent a couple of MMS's to my brother in the USA as in the morning we share reasonable hours to chat. Dougal sent back a couple of pictures of his little ones, Donovan and Naomi.

Little Miss Naomi

 At the end of the week, we dropped by work. As I had to catch up with my OIC (Officer in charge) and of course she wanted Gabe cuddles. So did a few people on station. Gabe smiled and chatted away to everyone.

Sharing the love!
