Day at the park

We are so thankful that there is a park in walking distance of our home. It will be perfect for running off some energy. There are two play areas and even a basketball court with a large field in the middle and a walking path too. We took a few walks there when we were waiting for Gabriel to make his initial appearance. We are so excited about when he is older and gets to play on the equipment that we wanted to introduce him to it early.
We got out our trusty stroller and cozy Wisconsin blanket

Yay for a sunny day!

First slide... sort of.

Look Ma! No hands!


Had to sit down and take a break. Too much playing!

Monkey bars? Not quite yet.

This slide thing is great

That was fun, but I need a nap now

Growing

We have discovered something even more tasty than a pacifier - fingers!

How can you tell if someones Daddy is in seminary? Look for the tie.

For those who are curious - the outfit says "Mommy says I'm the BEST BABY EVER"
At 4 months Gabriel is:
Scooting around on his tummy
Wearing 3-6 month clothes
Rolling over every which way
Laughing
 Starting on some rice cereal (look for a future posting!)
Smiling quite often
Smiling bashfully at females
Wearing size 2 diapers
Finally enjoying the out-of-doors (thank you Iowa weather)
