Gabi is finally starting to talk a little more. Many of her words are still muffled and not very clear, but recently we feel like we can communicate with her a little better. She points to whatever she wants and has started vocalizing many more words. She now loves pointing at her nose, eyes and head while saying their names. She then proceeds to do the same to you (especially poking at your eye!).
Gabi loves keeping up with her older siblings. She swings on the "big kid" swing holding on herself, navigates most playgrounds on her own, climbs everything she can, and wants to eat everything everyone else is eating!
Some of the not so good things she is doing include: being real clingy with mommy and daddy (has started to cry more when we leave or wants us to carry her more); she has started crying hard and screaming when she doesn't want to do something (ie. eat). But overall she is still a happy little girl. She loves dancing and moving around with the kids. She loves trying to sing many songs (including ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, and Taylor Swift's "Mean" song) =). We love when she repeats the names of all the people we pray for at night (it's the sweetest thing ever).
It's so hard to think that Gabi is a year and half. We think this is harder, knowing she is our last... our baby. Over the last month, Gabi has also had several one-on-one moments (both with us and her Grandparents). During this time she really hams it up. It's amazing how independent and personable she is on her own! I must admit that I am looking forward to some of this special time with her during the week for a couple of hours when the kids start school. For now... she is still our little baby, our monkey, and still little enough to cuddle and carry around =)
