Everybody nose what Gabe's up to!

Big milestones! GABE'S A WALKIN'! True, we are still in the phase where we are counting the number of steps he takes, but he's doing it all on his own! It won't be long before he's up and running full speed. I can't belive my baby's walking. He is getting too big, too fast!
He is also teething right now. He has had just his two bottom teeth for so long now, we were starting to wonder if he would ever get more teeth. But, they're here. He has at least four coming in on top, and two on the bottom. It's like we went to bed one night and the next morning he had a full set of teeth. Wow, can't imagine that feels great, but he's no complainer.
A couple of my favorite things that he's doing right now is: 1) Using our kitchen chairs as a walker by pushing them around the kitchen wherever he wants to go. 2) Climbing up and down the stairs. It's so cute to watch him come down the stairs. He has to very carefully position himself in front of the gate to come down backwards. Once he is through the gate he always has to shut the gate which can be tricky for him, but he won't come down until it is shut. Once it's shut he has to give it a good violent shake to make sure it's locked and not coming open, and then finally he can descend. He comes down and what seems like 90 mph to me, but he's only fallen once so far, so I guess he's got it pretty well under control. 3) And last, I love when he puts his finger up his nose! Really cute, but now that I have a picture I think we are going to have to break this habit.
