Gabe's first steps

Gabe turned 11 months old yesterday, and he just took his first steps today. I am so glad Joe was here to see it! He was so cute and excited, and seemed to be into the idea wholeheartedly. Once he realized he could do it, he kept trying a bunch. I can't believe how fast the past 11 months have gone. It is slipping away so fast. Right now, he is still all sugar, sugar, sugar. No real rebellion to speak of. But someday soon he will wake up as a 3 year old who will tune me out when I talk and throw tantrums because he doesn't want to go to bed. I can't wait to see what he becomes, but right now I am going to try to hang on to baby Gabe.

Gabe, I need you to stay a baby just a little longer. And please, let me kiss you, even when you turn two.
