Gabriel Milestones

A couple weeks after school started, Gabe came home very excited. He had finally mastered the Art of Skipping! Now, we had been working on learning to skip for about a year but his little feet just kept getting tangled up with each other. For those of you that know my hubby, this will not come as a surprise. Doug can't skip either. I was a little shocked about that. Now, Gabriel is trying to teach Daddy how to skip so he won't feel left out.

I just had to take a little video of Gabe skipping (finally) because he is just so happy and likes to skip all over the place. Enjoy!!

You may notice that he can even skip through our big pile of leaves. You may even notice that my strange child has no shoes on. It was a nice day out, but he still had on a shirt and sweatshirt, but didn't want shoes on. Whatever!!

Our other major milestone was learning to tie his shoes. Apparently they have a big shoe at school and they have been working on learning to tie. He mastered it and got a certificate and a treat! He was more excited about the Skittles he got to bring home. I don't have pictures of that yet, but I will take some for the scrapbook...since he does already have a certificate. Now, before you start laughing at me, remember that some moms scrapbook their kids Potty Training. I did not do that, basically because I didn't have a desire to document that. =)
