Abby doesn't have pants on?!?!

Thank you Lala for helping to do my hair this morning!
New possible hair style... yes or no
Mama said she would look into picking up a little gel to do my hair more often.

I will look like a rock star!!!

If you get to do your hair funky Bro-Ther, what do I get to do for fun?
Photobucket
Oh I know Bro-Ther...
Photobucket
I get to go around without pants like my hero Abby Cadabby!
Photobucket
HAHAHAH Sis, that is hilarious!
Photobucket
Yup, I thought it was pretty funny!
Photobucket
Sis, do you think mom and dad will let you get away with that?
Photobucket
They don't have a choice Bro-Ther.
Photobucket
How do you figure Sis?
Photobucket
I will just keep taking my pants off when they put them on...
Photobucket
Sis, I tired that, it doesn't work.
Photobucket
They haven't worked with me yet, it WILL work!
Photobucket
We will see sis!
Photobucket
Yes, we will!
Photobucket
MOM, DAD SIS TOOK HER PANTS OFF!!!!
Photobucket
I see them putting pants back on you Sis, I bet they use duct tape on those too!
Photobucket
Don't look at me like that, I am cute! Just watch this video Sis, it will make you smile and forgive me!

Mom's notes -
Gabriel is showing off.  I am not sure how much I am allowed to let him try without taking us backward. He continues to want to try new things.
In Gabriel's words:
OOOO dad, what do you have?
Photobucket
Salmon, I have never tried salmon...
Photobucket
Give me a little piece Daddy, think of it as finely chopped.
Photobucket
Wow, that was tasty, let me see if there is any left on your plate.
Photobucket
Just a little bit more...
Photobucket
Yes, he ate a couple very little pieces of salmon.  We weren't sure about letting him have any of it but he kept asking.  Finally we decided to give him a very small piece that he wouldn't have to chew.  He did not gag and he liked it enough to ask for more and when it was all gone he tried to get any little pieces that were left.  WOW! I don't want him to go against his therapy.  I never imagined he would ask for food or even try it therefore I never asked if we should let him try other foods.

These are the cleanest teeth every!  Yes, I let mom brush my teeth before each meal today! (mom's note - before so if he does get worked up to the point of throwing up he doesnt lose the meal we worked so hard to just feed him.)

Mom's notes - 
Isabella will be having tubes put in her ears Monday, February 13th.  After seeing the ENT for her first time today, it was pretty clear looking at her history of ear infections that this is where we were heading.
Extra notes- Gabe and I have tears in our eyes!!!! This is the first time he has just came up and tried anything.  Not just tried... watch the video to see!!!
