Baby Gabe

We had a picnic in Griffith Park yesterday to celebrate Nyella’s first birthday.  She was born exactly 6 months before Gabriel.  While his parents suffered from some allergies, Baby Gabe enjoyed himself.  As you can see from the first picture, he really is a chick magnet — even when he’s sleeping.

One of the great things about Baby Gabe is that he doesn’t cry when he wakes up.  Usually, it’s a slow process involving lots of yawning, stretching, eye rubbing, and kicking.  It’s like the difference between waking up to natural light and soft music versus fluorescent light and a loud buzzer.

We can’t believe how fast Gabriel is growing!  See for yourself:
