Gabriel just went to the doctor for a check-up last week. As you can see from the photo below (it's a sticker they give you at the pediatrician's office), he's now 28 pounds. He is still off of the growth charts, but the chart is catching up to him. He hasn't gained more than 3 or 4 pounds in the past six or eight months, so he's almost down to the 99th percentile.
Probably why he is so heavy is because Gabriel loves to eat. The curious thing, though, is that he doesn't eat a lot of carbs or protein. In fact, we have a hard time getting him to eat enough of either. He doesn't like bread very much, and only some meats. Pasta is OK.
But what he really likes is fruit in general, especially watermelon! We, of course, really only discovered this when watermelon came into season and now he can't get enough of it. He can eat a lot of watermelon in one sitting.
He likes to stuff it into his mouth.
Sometimes each hand is holding a slice.
Sometimes he leaves the slice on the table...
And eats watermelon hands free.
Here's a demo of him enjoying some...
The other day, he got a special treat...
This is his first popsicle. It was a really warm day.
Here are the girls enjoying theirs. They had been running outside and needed to cool off. Hope your summer is going well!
