Gabe is making intellectual jumps like crazy! He has learned most of his colors, can count to 5, names his shapes, recognizes a few letters, loves puzzles, and has amazing fine motor skills when it comes to building with blocks or any other small objects! He is also growing (at least a little). His teeth are finally making their appearance as well. He got the bottom two teeth around 17 months and now has 7-8 teeth. We can always tell when a new tooth is breaking through because he is insane at bedtime! We end up having to make Luke leave their room and sleep on the futon until Gabe calms down. He's not usually crying - just talking and making crazy noises! If Luke is in the room, he goes on even longer trying to get his attention. Gabe has started speaking in small sentences and even asking questions like, "Where Luke?" while shrugging his little shoulders with hands held out.
Gabe is also becoming quite an artist. He loves to get out his Thomas coloring book and color/decorate with stickers. He also loves paint, glue, and anything else he can get his hands on. Ironically, he doesn't like to get messy. As soon as something gets on his hands (even marker), he panics and starts crying for a towel.
Tuesday, he wanted to stay at school with Luke instead of coming home with me! His interest in other children and exploring the world beyond his home is definitely in full bloom. Of course, he'll still surprise us and have a hard time being left in the church nursery from time to time.
