Gabe loves the animals he got for his birthday and asked me to take a picture of him with them.
Right now, the horse, the cow, the duck and the alligator are his favourites. They all have names - Manny, Ellie, Diego and Sid, which I think are characters from Ice Age. They have grand adventures like running away from cracking ice, falling down cliffs, and when they're tired, Gabe reads to them (that's my boy!)
The pig, from the first picture, has "passed on" (in Gabe's words) and is currently hanging out in heaven with Opa. (I think he may be down a vent somewhere.)
And, our dear, sweet Isaac, who is finally starting to talk. One of his first words was cheese, but he's added a bunch to his repertoire. My current favourites are get it and sky.
