Big Strides

Gabe shocked us twice yesterday. 1) I asked him what he did at the park earlier in the day, and he said, "Kicked ball." First time we've seen him able to answer a question about what he did in the past, and look outside of what he wants to do now. 2) He ate an apple -- amazing, he grabbed an apple, and sat there and just worked-through the whole thing like an adult. We've been cutting pieces of fruit for him, and didn't know that Gabe knew how to eat a whole apple (see photo).

Two Words

No photo on this posting, but I thought it still worth mentioning.

Yesterday, Gabe used 2 words together for the first time (at least the first time we've heard). He normally identifies objects with single-words (Truck, Bus, Ball, etc.). Yesterday, after noticing that the tractor in the back-yard was gone, he said, "Tractor bye-bye." Wow!
