Gabe's magic trick

He loves standing, he's got so much strength in his legs! What a cutie! :)

Gabe and I discovering the rainforest

Gabe loves his new playmat he got for Christmas. And Mommy too... never too old for toys :)

More Xmas crafting: our own personalized stockings :)

I made these pretty stockings for our family. Shad's, mine, Gabe's, my mom's (Mamino) and my Dad's (Papilou), all personalized. Shad's has a camera and a polaroid of Gabe, cause he likes taking pictures, mine has a Geisha, cause I love all Japanese stuff, Gabe has a blue bunny cause he can't part from his blue bunny toy. Mamino's has a cupcake for all the cooking/baking she does, and Papilou has a flying osito (private joke) :P.
Many hours of sewing there!

White Christmas tree

I am kind of dreaming of a white christmas... Took some fallen branches in our yard and spray painted them white and sparkle to create a snowy finish, and I cut out some paper snowflakes and heart baskets, and also a couple of white felted ornaments. TA-DA! It's set in the dinning room and it looks great :)

We were in Virginia this weekend in Rocky Mount, at Grandma and Grandpa Handy's house for an early christmas, and mostly to proudly show Gabe to all the family :) JeRena had an open house on sunday where everybody got to meet our sweet little guy. I think everybody had a great time, and we came home with a luggage full of gifts!
Gabe did great on the plane by the way, much better than his parents who are a total wreck today...

The sweetest thing ever

Gabe is vocalizing...

... all day long! Needless to say he makes me laugh quite a lot :)
