Fleece-ey Goodness.
Thursday, October 26: It's getting a little colder here in NYC, and so Gabe and Mom/MIM got bundled up for the walk to work today. Gabe is warm and toasty in his super-fleece. Thanks Grammy!!

Look Ma... Hands!
Saturday, Oct. 21: Gabe is showing off one of his new tricks here. Yep, this kid is so self-reliant he can feed himself. Well, not really, and it works best when the bottle is almost empty, but he can do it! This changes everything.
Hanging at the Connelly's
Saturday, Oct. 21: Dad was out of town this weekend, so Gabe and Mom headed up to the Upper East Side for a quick visit with some friends. We started out with the Connellys, and enjoyed a great trip to the playground followed by some reading and playing inside where it was a bit warmer. Then we saw Lori, who got some practice for her soon-to-arrive baby by feeding Gabe in a very cramped Starbucks. Then Gabe managed to wake up in time to finally meet Christine and Mike while awake (Gabe was finally awake, not Christine and Mike - they are better at timing their naps than Gabe is). All in all a great day!
FIVE months!
Monday, Oct. 16: Boy does time fly. Today Gabe turned five months old. He's growing like crazy. He didn't get weighed this month, but we think he's feeling heavier every day. Plus, despite all evidence to the contrary in this particular picture, he's smiling and laughing more than ever. We think that's a pretty good sign of a happy kid. We'll take it.
Mmmmm. Zippers.
Monday, Oct. 9: The weather is starting to get a little colder up here in NYC, and so it was time to bust out Gabe's hat and jacket. He isn't a big fan of the hat, but he seems to like the jacket a little better. We think he just likes to chew on that zipper. Wonder if Old Navy puts some sort of yummy flavoring in that plastic?
So many kisses for Gabe.
Sunday, Oct. 8: Suzki and Pops were also in town this weekend, and so this afternoon we went and hung out with them a little bit. Gabe sure loves all those kisses.
Higher Aunt Emily!
Sunday, Oct. 8: Aunt Emily came over this morning and got to take Gabe to the playground. He's still pretty new at the swings, and Dad was a little nervous about pushing too high, but Gabe certainly seems to be enjoying himself!
Happy Shower!
Saturday, Oct. 7: this weekend we got to celebrate Aunt-to-be Alexis in all her bride-to-be glory. It was a great weekend and we loved seeing everyone!

Happy Wedding Heather and Chris!
Saturday, Sept. 30: Today one of Dan's oldest friends got married. It was a beautiful wedding and we had a blast. Lucky for us it was in this beautiful location! We had a great day showing Gabe that the ocean up in Massachusetts is much colder than the one at Suzki and Pops' house. Then Gabe spent the evening with some other kids and the babysitter while Mom and Dad danced the night away. What a treat!
Happy Happy Happy!
We know it's been a while since we've updated all of Gabe's fans. Sorry about that. It's been a wonderful but busy few weeks. Mom/MIM is getting used to the routine of working and is loving her job, and Gabe is absolutely loving his "school." Dad/Dan continues to entertain sports fans everywhere with his blog. As you can see, all is well here in NYC!

Best. Dad. Ever.
Sunday, Sept. 17: Today we went to our first-ever Atlantic Antic (a big, fun street fair near our house in Brooklyn) and Gabe had a great time. We also got to hang out with some of our favorite people. First we got a visit from Kristin, T.J. and Brendan Connelly, and then we met up with Jess and Jeremy Rauch. But Gabe's favorite part of the day was clearly hanging out with his Dad!
The Family hits Four.
Sunday, Sept. 17: Each month we've taken a picture of the new Shanoff family to commemorate Gabe's first year. Here we all are at four months, and we think we look pretty fabulous.
Heads Up!
Saturday, Sept. 16: In yet another first on his "birthday," Gabe held his head up and looked right at the camera. Now we just need to add a smile, and we're taking him to Hollywood. Just kidding. Who needs Hollywood? He's already a star.
New Month, New Tricks.
Saturday, Sept. 16: Gabe turned 4 months old today, and to celebrate he grabbed his feet for the first time. He actually grabbed both of them, but we don't like to brag. Look at how pleased he is with himself. He's also pretty excited about the Gator Game tonight, so that might be where all this enthusiasm is coming from.
Naptime.
Friday, Sept. 15: after a long week of fun at school, Gabe decided a little nap was in order. Must've been the pillow-top mattress that lulled him to sleep.

Yes I am.
Dad found this great shirt and got one for some of the ladies in Gabe's life. As one of the recipients, I can vouch for its truth. I'm a babe, and I'm DEFINITELY for Gabe.
Signed, Gabe's Mom.
Rainy Day Solution
Thursday, Sept. 14: On our first rainy day since Gabe started daycare, Mom decided to try heading out without the stroller. Gabe sure seemed to approve, and everyone on the subway appreciated all the extra space.
Book Club's Newest Member
Wednesday, Sept. 13: Mom's book club came over tonight to discuss our most recent book. Gabe had some very good contributions to the discussion and he loved hanging out with the ladies.
Better than a Gym!
Tuesday, Sept. 12: Turns out Gabe is just as good as a gym! Tonight he helped Mom do some leg lifts before his bedtime. The only problem is that he's getting so big that pretty soon Mom's legs aren't going to be enough to lift him up!
