Hey Baby, What's Your Sign?

Great-aunt Nechama and great-uncle Billy bought Gabe this very cool "Gymini" playmat. It's got a lot of animals on it, it plays Mozart, it makes a few noises, it has some hanging things and a mirror. So, worried that we've already set Gabe back on his intellectual and emotional development, we busted it out and had some serious play time this afternoon.

Was he over-stimulated? Maybe just a wee bit. But it's a fantastic toy and it has already found a place in Gabe's room. I'm sure it'll be something we use with him for months to come and he becomes more and more aware of what's going on around him.

For now, Gabe is able to concentrate on one of our voices when we talk to him. He'll turn his head and look at us. Either that, or maybe we're just seeing things. But there's no question that every day he seems to add a new wrinkle to his talent repertoire (and lose a wrinkle or two from his original saggy bod!).
