Gabi turned 15 months old yesterday and had her check up as well. She got 4 shots, one of which was for the flu. She is 31 1/4 in. tall and 25 pounds. She loves saying "hi" to everyone except men. She usually buries her head in our shoulder if a stranger approaches and wants to talk to her. She is doing fantastic overall! I think the day and a half at daycare has really made a great impact on her. She is saying more words ("up" is her current favorite but she has also added "milk", "wa-wa" (for water), "book", "Noah" and everyone's favorite, "NO!" We think she may also have a pretend friend because she runs around the house blabbering "Stella, Stella!" Who knows?? She is much more mobile- trying to RUN now and usually crashes into things. She also brings us books to read to her and plops her little bottom in our lap pretty comfortably. She is also offering up more kisses on the regular now too although sometimes Momma has to pretend she's crying to break away from what she's into so I can get some love. She's a sweetheart and comes up to check on us almost as if to see if we're really ok and says "awww."
Gabi's cousin Noah turned 2 a few weeks ago so we headed back to Cali for his birthday. She LOVED the Monterey Bay Aquarium and all the hands on exhibits. We got more videos than pictures as you can see but we all enjoyed the sights and the COOL, ocean breeze! We can't believe it's Fall already. Aaron and I are in the midst of our semester and we figured if we work until about midnight on Friday nights we can maximize our time with our daughter (and each other). The things we do for our children....
Check back in a few weeks for Halloween pictures of Gabi as lil' Miss Tinkerbell!
Oh, and please pardon my less than flattering sleep shorts in the one video but I wanted to show everyone what a great helper Gabi is becoming AND.....how vocal and adamant she has become (must get that from Daddy, I guess) :0)
I have also included a few random pictures we have taken of Gabi within the last month...she's a busy girl as you can see. My favorite is the candid country girl snapshot of her and her Papa
irrigating the pecan trees (bow in hair, of course)
