Gage's First Year

Gage's favorite tv show to watch is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. He loves Mickey Mouse toys, books, and pictures. When he hears the "Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse" start, he begins to dance and smile and is glued to the tv! You will also get to see him spend some time with Abbie, his dog. He loves to say Abbie's name, play with Abbie, give Abbie kisses, and most of all, feed Abbie his food! Gage loves to push everything around the house: books, papers, toys, and even his high chair! Gage celebrated his first Fourth of July by sleeping through fireworks! He did play with some sparklers the day after, but he wasn't too crazy about them. I think he knew he could be burned, hopefully he keeps that knowledge for the future!! Gage celebrated his first birthday on July 6. He went to a splash park and ran through the water, unfortunately it was windy and rained while we were at the park. But Gage still had the pleasure of opening his presents--his favorite being his new lap top computer he has been eyeing for some time now. Gage got his very own cake and loved smashing it and throwing the cake everywhere!! Thank goodness his mom decided to have the party at the park because the cleanup would not have been fun. There would have been cake and frosting everywhere--sick dogs, too, because they would have had to help clean up!! So many changes occured this first and wonderful year of Gage's life. His parents are very happy and lucky to have such a wonderful and amazing child! His first week was a rough one, with having to be in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit for that week. However, he has recovered well and is very active, happy, and always smiling. It was fun to see him grow up his first year and see him go from laying around, to rolling, to crawling, to getting close to walking on his own. He is saying Momma, Dadda, kitty, and his mom's favorite--Abbie. He loves his school, he loves his pets, and he loves his family and friends and looks forward to continue to learn so many new things. Dance Away Gage!!
