Wishing everyone a great 3 Kings Day!
Thought I would also catch up on Gabi... who turned 10 months over Christmas break....
She is now a pro at kisses (makes a kissing sound when you ask her for a "besito", kiss in spanish), she shakes a when you tell her to dance (or baila). We know she recognizes people because she always looks towards the person we are naming. She claps her hands, waves, pulls up on everything, crawls everywhere, and nods yes and no. Watching her nod "yes" is hysterical because she also raises and lowers her eyebrows when she does it. It's too cute!
Like Will and Isa, she isn't a great eater. She loves her milk, but isn't too thrilled with solids. She STILL has no teeth, but we are certain they are coming soon.... we think! Also like her siblings Gabi LOVES bath time. She splashes like a pro, and even occasionally tries to swim by dunking her face in. She loves it, but it scares us! We have another water baby!
Gabi has been heard to say Mama, Dada, Bapa, and has been exploring sound. She roars back like a dinosaur at Will, and yells back at Isa. Although she is exploring sound more, she sure isnt' a gabber. Most times she is content just being quiet and observing the crowd (and smiling at them). She can "walk" across a room if you are holding her hands, and stands for up to 30 seconds before carefully bringing herself down. She is showing signs of wanting to walk, but hasn't stood up on her own yet. She plays well on her own, but never refuses a welcome arm. She loves being held, but seldom cries for it. She has won a special place in Grandma Thomas' heart too as her lil snuggle girl.
To say Gabi is sweet is an understatement. She is a quiet, perfectly sweet girl who has our hearts. We feel so lucky to be sharing in her life.
