The Canevari Tales: Birthday Boy

It's hard to believe that Gage will be ONE on May 2nd. Truly, where has the time gone? Gage has been such a wonderful blessing in our lives. He has brought us so much joy and laughter and our lives wouldn't be the same without him. Of course I am rather sad that my baby is growing up quickly, but at the same time I am also anxious for him to start hitting some milestones!!

Here are a few things that Gage is doing/enjoying these days!

1. He likes to throw his hands up in the air when asked, "How big is Gage?" He even likes to do it at meal time even when not asked (seems he's already an attention getter!).

2. He will blow kisses, but uses the back of his hand and hasn't figured out how to move his hand away from his mouth...still cute though!

3. He is rather independent and enjoys crawling ALL over the house and making messes wherever he goes. Currently he's into beads. He likes to put as many necklaces as he can on and then drags them around the house. If it's something he can put around his neck or over his head, he'll do it!

4. He has just discovered the kitchen cabinets and likes to open and close them. I am sure it's only a matter of time before my pots and pans are his new favorite toys!

5. He also enjoys shutting doors. You'll know where he's at because he'll crawl into a room and immediately shut the door. Usually he'll start to fuss once he wants out. I've started putting towels over the doors so he can't shut them which really aggravates him!

6. He really enjoys the pool and bath. He'll splash the entire time and just laugh.

7. He's very much into electronics and loves the phone and tv remote. You can't talk on the phone and hold him at the same time...the power struggle is just too much!

8. He hasn't caught up to Alivia in the talking department, but does say Momma and Dadda and calls Lilly "Ma" (which she absolute hates and will say to him "I'm NOT your mommy"). He does, however, chat up a storm and it's only a matter of time until I will be wishing for a quiet newborn again!

9. Gage continues to be a Momma's boy which I am learning to enjoy! Thankfully he's doing better going to the nursery, however, the gym nursery is another story.

10. And finally, Gage is about out of the baby food stage (hurray!!!!). He'll eat his veggies, but only if it's blended with regular food. He's enjoyed everything I've given him which is pretty much what we're eating for dinner. It's been a new adventure and I am so excited not be making baby food every week!!!

Here are a few pics of the little guy. I'm uploading from two computers so be patient!!
