On January 28, 2003, Mom, Steph and Aidan (Gabriel's grandmother, aunt and cousin, respectively) flew to California for Gabriel's first birthday. It was great to see the two 1-year-old boys together!
Before boarding |
Aidan was great on the plane and didn't wake up
until we walked out of the airport |
Sisters reunited! |
Hey, who are you? |
Learning to share? |
....maybe. |
Bathtime for Aidan |
Matching strollers |
Bouncing at Gymboree |
Classic -- Aidan "talking" on a phone, and Gabriel spinning a wheel! |

Jan. 30 -- Gabriel's 1st birthday! |
The mischief begins! |
At Keiki Place in Cupertino |
|
The ball pit is always a hit |
The tent is a big favorite too |
Aidan's first sand experience! Ortega Park, Sunnyvale |
Gabriel found a leafpile |
A rare moment of the two boys together long enough for a photo |
This was the day that we discovered Gabriel's inclination to
scamper away and escape! My chasing days started this day,
his 1st birthday. |
Mom and cuddly sweet baby |
Mom and scampering wandering baby -- good thing for overalls! |
Finally we found a large grassy area in the hopes that we could
keep track of the constantly escaping Gabriel |
Aunt Stephanie entertains the boys for a photo-op |
