It took a while before Gab communicated with us thru baby sign language. It took about 2 months for us to notice that he is signing to us to communicate what he wants. It just started with these five simple baby signs: Milk, Eat, More, Dad and Mom.

Melissa and Doug Toys – Fish Colors
I was looking for new educational toys for babies to keep Gab busy. Fish Colors by Melissa and Doug was one of the new toys I bought for him. With ten fish-shape color puzzles, I think this toy can keep Gab busy for weeks. It’s a great educational toy to help Gab learn and identify colors.
Free Baby and Toddler Food Recipes
Since Gab was six months old, we started introducing him to solid foods. Prior to that, Gab was exclusively breast fed. Our pedia gave us tips on what food to give. Which solid food to start first then gradually introduce more variety. But after a few months, we would ran out of ideas.

Teaching Baby Gab to Pray
