While Mom and I were spending time at G-Pa and Nana's until we could move into our new CO house we went to the Keystone chocolate village. Everything was made from chocolate, but I only had eyes for the two trains constructed of chocolate.
At one point, I couldn't resist standing back anymore and tried to make a break for it under the barrier. Mom caught me by the back of my coat before I got too far, bummer!
Then, outside they had ice sculptures, this one is of a train...my favorite!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!
And Santa's sleigh with all his reindeer!
Finally, we went to lunch and Mommy and I shared a big glass of water.
I know, I know...it's been 6 months since our last post! I can't believe how quickly 2011 has gone. I hope you enjoy getting caught up with the first half of Gabe's 2011.
I've realized that as Gabe gets older it's harder to have new reasons to take pictures and blog about his growth. Now that he's 4 (Oh My Gosh!) and even through 3 it's not like kids really hit many milestones or change a lot month to month. So, I guess I'm going to use that as my excuse for why I don't update this blog as often as I used to.
As Gabe matures he has taken on a very sweet, genuine personality. He is quick to pay a compliment, "Mommy, I like your dress."; or very sensitive like covering his eyes during a "scary" moment in a movie or asking why someone is crying/angry/negative emotion in a book or show. His interest in how things work continues and his physical aptitude is finally catching up to his way above average language skills.
He really is a real, albeit little, person that Matt and I love taking new places, exposing him to new foods and experiences. He is full of opinions, questions and observations. And of course asserts himself via talking back and tantrums occassionally. He is a very easy child and for that we are forever grateful as we get to spend more time having fun than discipling or otherwise.
I always make the promise with best intentions, so I'll say it again that I'm going to try to post more often. Until next time...
