He just stared off to the side, he wasn't even looking at me with the camera.
Then we thought we'd let him try it on his own.
He never smiled. He didn't seem unhappy, just very contemplative.
Swinging is serious business.

Swinging is a serious endeavor
We took Gabe to Liberty Park a few weeks ago to play and we wanted him to experience swinging for the first time. He started out swinging with Jon .
Then we thought we'd let him try it on his own.
He never smiled. He didn't seem unhappy, just very contemplative.

I was lucky enough to see an advance copy of the book around Thanksgiving and it is witty, well-written and hilarious. (I realize it might be redundant to call it witty and hilarious but I am not the writer here.)
Anyway, check it out. She really is wonderful and she'll personalize a book for you if you contact her so feel free! And Debbie, you could even review this for Book Look...just a thought!
Playing with Cousins
Gabe is lucky to have some wonderful cousins. All boys so far which is still astounding to me, coming from a family of girls, but wonderful still the same. Haydon and Dawson are two of his favorite people. He watches everything they do with great interest.
Haydon holding Gabe and begging us to spend the night so "Baby Gabriel sleep with me."
And here when Haydon wins...sort of. Haydon thought we were taking a picture and not a video so he keeps smiling at the camera and when he talks it is very quietly. Haydon is also sharing his toys so sweetly. I just love how Gabe watches him so intently.
And then we have the Berkeley contingent... Nat and Gabe have spent very little time together unfortunately. Just a few trips here and there but I think a bond has formed nonetheless.
This is the first time Nat held Gabe, with the help of Aunt Krista. He expressed his excitement about Gabe by trying to eat his foot.
On this same trip to Berkeley, all of the adults were getting ready for church and Nat was taking care of Gabe. While Gabe was in the bouncy chair, Nat made faces at him, bounced him and brought him a ball and a hairbrush to play with. He's a very sweet cousin.
We are looking forward to watching these boys grow up together. I just know they are all going to be great friends. Gabe is so lucky to have such great cousins. We can't wait to see you again Natty! Just a few weeks! And we are so excited to find out about the newest cousin...Let us know Tyfani!

Jon's the funny one
Gabe has started laughing and it is adorable. Jon is much better at getting him to laugh than I am. sometimes all it takes is for Jon to look at him. I get lots of smiles and I've even gotten a few giggles. What can I say? Jon's the funny one.

Purpose of this blog
This blog is a showcase for the still developing talents of Gabriel Mark Balzotti, otherwise known as Gabe the Babe. He joined us on November 2, 2007 at 12:22 AM, weighing in at 7 pounds 13 ounces and measuring 21 1/2 inches.
So far he has mastered sleeping,
pooping (not pictured for your benefit),
eating (not pictured for my benefit),
and smiling.
He is still working on rolling over,
standing,
and Spanish.
The last two with the help of his Aunt Krista.
He is also growing. At his two month check-up on January 4th he weighed 11 pounds 14 ounces and measured 23 and 3/4 inches.
We enjoy watching him learn and grow and we hope you will too.
