Pickwick Park

Steven's parent's have a great, new park in their neighborhood. It has 2 large jungle gyms, swings, small rock "walls", gazebos to barbeque, and a large walking path. It's a great place to bring Gabriel when the weather is right. We have been bringing Gabriel to the park well before he entered the world. Steven and I (and sometimes his parents) would make our walking route through the park to the walking path while I was pregnant.

When Gabriel was about 5 months old, we decided to let him try out the baby swing. He sat in it and was stiff as a board. We would swing him and he would just look straight ahead and not move a muscle, the only things moving were his eyes...and they were staring at us. It was as if he was thinking, "what is this thing?".

Nana & Feve (Steven's parents) take him to the park on most of the days they watch him during the week. he seems to enjoy the swing now.

It's funny to watch babies experience things for the first time. Everyday is a learning process for Gabriel.
