Early Autumn in the Front Yard 2012

A 13 month old Gibson sits outside on a warm & sunny November day, eats some delicious pine straw and practices taking a few steps.

Gibby's first swim was in the majestic pool that inspired the song Night Swimming by REM.

Gibby's Perfect Timing. (9 months:July 2012)

Well, this is it:  Our boy is a Rock and Roll genius.  He's got the Rock part down...you gotta wait for the Roll.

CRAZY TRAIN (8 months:June 2012)

For a short period of time Gibson would huff and puff and laugh his touckas off at different bizarre things.  Sometimes it happened when we would sing to him, or blew air in his face, or when we made an absurd noise or gave him zerberts on his tummy.  We didn't really know what to call it until one day when he and I were driving around listening to the radio he cracked up from the beginning until the end of an Ozzy song.

Crazy Train was born.

I finally got a good series of shots of Gibby doing Crazy Train when I was sitting with him in the back seat of the car and the windows were rolled down.  The force of the wind made his hair stand up on end and he thought this was the most hilarious thing ever.
Here is a string of shots from that beautiful few minutes on the 9th of June 2012.

Gibby the Blender (7 months:May 2012)

To add to the now growing collection of home videos with annoying noises in the background...we present this:  A 7 month old Gibson imitating the sound of our blender.  And if the noise of the blender doesn't get you, surely us asking him, "What sound does the blender make?" a thousand times will.
We apologize for being such irritating videographers, but we are amateures at best and sometimes you can only capture a moment as it is happening.
We just hope his adorable buffoonery wins you over and you continue to come back for more.

Society of American Magician Presents:

Today Gibby is 7 months old and things are changing everyday.  As he is learning, so are we.  

Last week, he started eating solid foods and we here at GTH learned that a baby is not only is like your drunk roommate, but like a magician. While he still lays around and yells at us in a language that no one understands, he now has daily food transformations that really draw a crowd.  In the video bananas go in, and later, off camera, the Amazing Gibby turns those bananas into a demon stew.  No words of warning could have prepared us.  We are still recovering, but I think we will survive.  Please take a moment and enjoy Gibson's first time eating solid food.
