Today Gabe turned 5 months old. David & I cannot believe how much he has grown & how fast time has flown by. Gabe has gotten over much of his crying & fussiness & seems to be a happy little boy overall. He is quick to smile at nearly anyone, especially after just waking up. He has started to giggle often as well, finding a wide assortment of things amusing. He loves to be sung to & even dances around to the radio with Daddy. He is very alert all of the time & very curious about what is going on. His latest fascination is watching people eat. He just looks like he is concentrating so hard as he watches us scoop food or take drinks. He will even go so far as to imitate us by chewing his tongue. We are planning to start him on cereal sometime in the next few weeks. Probably after his next doctors appointment when we see how he is progressing.
He has started rolling over quite a bit & now prefers to lay on his stomach. He has also started to roll in his crib at night. Typically there is not enough room for him to get all the way over, so he has become a sometimes side sleeper. He looks adorable passed out on his side. :) Gabe continues to be quite vocal. He continues to coo & will let you know with a scream if he doesn't like something. He has recently started "yelling" for extended periods of time. He just seems to be loudly talking to something & definitely voicing his opinion. His stuffed tiger seems to receive a lot of this scolding!!!
Overall, Gabe is such a joy to both of us. His little smile & a slight cuddle make every day so much better!

David had trouble getting Gabe to nap one day because he was overtired. He finally put him in our bed, & they passed out together.
We are currently working on sitting up. He typically ends up as a "Gabe sandwich" but is getting better & better each day. I'm just looking forward to not having to use the infant tub anymore.
Mr. Smiles!!
He was originally sitting up but then fell over. He was very happy to just lay like this, talking away & kicking his leg.
Too Cute!!!
