3 months old

Shirt reads: "Who needs Santa? I've got grandparents!"

Here is Gabriel at 3 months old (on December 14th). Unlike his 2 month photo, we were able to get his photograph during a really happy time! (sorry so late)

Gabriel is growing and changing fast!! He is very interactive with lots of giggles and coos, we have had many special, tender moments recently. He loves bathtime, "power" kicking, his mobile, watching our dog, the song "Jesus Loves Me", playing pattycake with Grandma, making spit bubbles, sucking his thumb, sitting in his bouncy seat and grabbing at/hitting his toys, tummytime and holding his head/chest up (but not for too long!), saying "Hi", "Hug", and "Ai-goo", telling long stories, and generally loves individual attention.

Just a FEW Highlights during November and December include:

*Nov. 5: First night sleeping in his crib
*Nov. 19: First whole day away from mom and dad at Vanessa's
*Nov. 22: Meeting cousin Larson (finally!)
*Nov. 23: Turned 90 degrees in crib, woke up crying with legs stuck between bars!
*Nov. 27: Thanksgiving at Grandparents in Eau Claire; first night away from Home
*Nov. 28: First sucks thumb while Auntie Molly is holding him
*Nov. 28: First trip to Grandparents in Chicago area
*Dec. 6: First Korean word "Ai-goo!"
*Dec. 10: First grabs toy when put to fingers
*Dec. 13: Auntie Hilary graduates
*Dec. 24: First Christmas Eve at Grandparents in Eau Claire and church service
*Dec. 25: Christmas with friends in St. Paul
*Dec. 26: Meets (Great) Grandma Mary for the first time

I'll try to get the 4 month photos up a lot sooner!! :)
