The Next Big Thing...

Thursday, Nov. 16: Today is Gabe's half-birthday. Yep, it's been 6 months! We had a great day. First, we had a parent-teacher conference with Gabe's teachers from his school (yeah, it's daycare, but they call it school and so do we!). He got rave reviews. Not only is he doing great with all his developmental milestones, but he's playing nice with others, and not talking too much when the teachers are talking (which was always his Mom's downfall in school). Then we went to see Dr. D for his 6-month checkup, and he also passed that with flying colors. He is up to a whopping 18 lbs. 3 oz., and 28 in. and he barely cried when he got his shots. He also got the go-ahead to start eating solid foods. So, we busted out the rice cearal and broke in his new highchair. There was an initial negative reaction to the chair, but the cereal was a hit!
