Gabe's Pops gave him this Gator, and boy does he love it. Sometimes he likes to eat it and usually he just likes to listen to it play the "Go Gators" chant. Here he's using it to show how excited he is about the beginning of March Madness.

March 14: It's time for March Madness and today Gabe started to pick his bracket. It's always a tough decision-making process, so we figured he should start thinking about it early. He has decided to go with the "bracket of integrity" like his dad. His mom prefers to hedge her bets with a few different brackets. Don't kid yourself, though. All of them have the Gators winning it all.

Who is it?

One of Gabe's new favorite things to play with is "his" cell phone. Thank goodness those wily cell phone companies convinced Dan he couldn't live without a new phone. Look how happy Gabe is!

Rasberries

Gabe's newest trick is an almost constant stream of rasberries. He uses them to communicate almost everything: from "I'm hungry" to "I'm full," it's pretty much a catch all. Hopefully soon he'll just use some words. We'll all stay a little drier.

Who's THAT?

Somehow this game never stops being funny. To Gabe at least. He just thinks mom is SO funny when she puts silly things on her head. Let's hope he stays this easy to entertain! Doubtful, but we can dream...

Special TV time

OK OK, we know that the APA doesn't recommend TV for babies, but it's time for March Madness, and there's no way we're keeping Gabe from watching that. The Gators might be highly ranked, but they're going to need all the extra cheering they can get!

New Teeth!!

OK, we know this isn't Gabe's best angle (let's be honest... who DOES this angle work for?), but it was the only way we could get a shot of those new chompers he's sporting on the top. They're already looking braces-ready, which isn't making Dad sleep any more easily, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it!

Don't Interrupt Me!

Here is a picture of Gabe and his tunes. He's very into his music, though these headphones might just be a little much for him.
