Christmas 2009

So, he isn't so good with the talking (but he knows what's going-on) but that didn't stop Gabriel having a lovely Christmas.

He liked the whole fetching presents thing, and rather liked the opening presents thing as well (a bit too much as the following picture shows).

That was, of course, Gabriel 'helping' his little brother Asa with one of his presents.

Now this candy cane got rather sticky and we had to go to the wash-down afterwards, but was enjoyed very much indeed.

Over the past weeks, he has some new words (although they are almost unintelligible to all but the most highly tuned ears), mostly one at a time, and nothing with the smugness that accompanied 'Fish Man'.

You will notice in these pictures that he's had his hair cut - apparently he sat rather nicely in front of the big '[f]ish' tank (he still rather likes fish a little too much) at the hairdressers in Guildford while they cut his hair.

On the topic of 'ish', The Boys also have a fish tank (given by Aunty Melly for Christmas) that we are currently in the process of cycling (attempting fishless cycling actually) before we put some 'ish' in. Updates on this matter to follow.

Finally, and almost, it would seem for now, unrelatedly, we recently bought a table on ebay and have just advertised the old table on there - I mention this because we %may% have just sold him:

All going to show that you shouldn't be in the wrong place (under the table) at the wrong time (while it's being photographed to be sold).

That's all. For now.
