Gabe & Zara are 10 months old!!

by Amy ~ January 15, 2011

We also celebrated Christmas in Seattle. We had a very nice Christmas dinner with our friends Sara and Quang. The day after Christmas, Rita came back for a visit and to help while Willow was on vacation. We cooked a feast for New Year’s Eve and had a lot of fun during Rita’s visit.

We took a trip to a river in the north where eagles come to eat the salmon. It was a beautiful location and amazing to see so many eagles in one place!

Gabe and Zara are doing great and have been really happy and giggly babies! They’re sleeping and eating well . While Gabe feels much heavier than Zara, he weighed 20 lbs and Zara weighed 19 lbs at the last checkup.

Ever since Z went to China, Zara has been very clingy to me and cries every time I walked out of the room. She’s also been a little jealous if I’m giving any attention to Gabe! She and Gabe started crawling on top/over each other all of the time. Last week she climbed on Gabe’s back like he was a horse then turned to me and smiled…this did not go over very well with Gabe but it made me laugh!

Both Zara and Gabe have their 2 front teeth now and have started standing (holding onto something) within the last few weeks. They still have red hair but it seems to be getting a little darker.
