I'm 6 months old!

On December 23rd Gabriel turned 6 months! It's hard to believe he is already 6 months! Time really does fly. We arrived in Knoxville on 12/23 for Christmas, 7 years ago this year on the same date Gabe asked me to marry him. Gabriel is giving his uncle Frank a run for his money on the cuteness in this pic:-)

On 1/2/2012 Gabriel had his 6 month doctors appointment, he weighed 19 lbs 9 oz and was 27 inches tall, with a 32 inch vertical leap;-)

Gabriel's First Cereal

Last weekend Gabriel had his first solid (semi-solid) food, rice cereal. He loved it and gobbled it all up!

Happy Thanksgiving Stew

On the Friday after Thanksgiving it is a Johns family tradition to make a brunswick stew and celebrate with all of our friends and family. Gabriel got a turn to stir too.

I'm 5 months old!

Gabriel turned 5 months on 11/23, the day before Thanksgiving. It's hard to remember what life was like before we had him, we are so thankful!

Me & my daddy

Happy Halloween!

Gabriel was a pea in a pod for his first Halloween! He also had several cute Halloween outfits too!

I'm 4 months old

On 10/23 Gabriel turned 4 months old! We were in Seattle that weekend, I had a big work trip and we were very lucky that Gabe could take off work and my boys could go too. We took Gabriel down to Pike's Place Market, which was awesome! He loved all of the people watching, the beautiful flowers, flying fish and he went to his first brewery - The Pike.

Last week Gabriel had his 4 month doctor's appointment and he is 16 lbs 13 oz and 25 1/2 inches long! Such a big boy! Head size is 75-90% for his age, he is representing the Benson name well:)
