My Little Punkin

Although summer is my favorite season

I must admit that I am a very happy girl that

fall is finally here.

...

This means that things have slowed down a bit at pinwhirls.com

which means that I can spend more time with

my lil' punkin.

...

I cannot believe that my Gabe

...

or Gabers as we like to call him

...

is already over 6 months.

...

We took these photos of him on his 6 month birthday

on October 3. It happened to be the first cold

day of the season and he was not a huge

fan of the cold weather. Either that or

he wasn't loving being stuffed (literally) into a pumpkin.

...
Was hoping for lots of great shots with his cute

pumpkin hat but only got a few.

...

But he does love wearing his hat so it is getting lots

of wear this fall.

Anyhoo
...
back to Gabe.
...
At 6 months he's already been army crawling for awhile.
Doctor says that I shouldn't be surprised if he walks by 9 months.
Yikes - not prepared for that.
Although we've already had to baby proof with gates and outlet covers, etc.
as we have a curious little guy on our hands.
...
Which is probably why he crawled so early
...
just wants to get his little hands into everything
...
especially anything electrical
...
such a boy!
...
His first tooth appeared last week and he's also officially holding
his own bottle and sippy cup (for juice).
...
He's also started on solids. Just like his mommy he's a huge fan of
sweet potatoes but not such a huge fan of green beans.
...
He likes spitting them out at Mommy.
I try really hard to say no to the spitting
so he knows that it's a no-no
but inside I think it's really cute.
...
He also recently started sucking on his thumb.
I too think it's the cutest thing ever
...
at least for now.

...
He's also looking forward to Halloween.
He really likes his costume.
...
He's going to be a Monster
...
a little Slobber Monster!
...
He's invited the family to his
Monster Laboratory for Halloween.

More photos will be posted soon!
