Today is the start of our second week of spring break. We just love the year-round schedule. Well, until July. For now, though, we LOVE it! Gabe just went down for a nap. He seems to be dropping the morning nap all of a sudden. Hey...wait...all the books say he's not supposed to do that until 15 months!!! So not fair! Just one more area he seems to be a little advanced. As for the others:
- last night before his bath (keeping in mind he had on a fairly wet cloth diaper) he sat on our bathroom scale and weighed in at 23.8 pounds!
- He seems to be getting a cuspid now, after already having all eight incisors. Way more than any of the other babies I know his age. On the one hand, we'll be really glad to get all this teething DONE with. On the other hand...does this EVER end? I mean, for most of us it ends with impacted wisdom teeth in adulthood. Then the root canals start. Oh, and somewhere in there will probably be braces. Yikes!
- He's started cruising around by holding on to things and he's gotten so good at crawling we can hardly keep up with him. He's like a little spider racing accross the place all the time. Usually he's speeding to the tiniest, sharpest, most dangerous object that no adult can see. We are on the balls of our feet at all times.
Oh, and for those of you that were jealous of our beautiful sunny February weather, you can rest easy knowing all our spring break plans have been squashed by cold, cold rain and intermittent snow and sleet. Of course, there are lots of fun inside things to do, also. Turns out the entire population of Portland had the same idea yesterday. We just couldn't fit inside. So, we convinced Gabe that the grocery store was a museum. And the beautiful thing is he still believes us.
