Here is a little of who Gabi is at 2 1/2....
-she is still a wonderful cuddle bug.
-she loves dancing and is starting to become sillier (taking after Isa).
-she has mastered her tricycle and is working on the scooter (just like Will and Isa)
-she is now expressing herself perfectly. We may still ask her to repeat something, but she gets her point across with whatever she is talking about
-one of her cutest phrases right now are"can you sleep with me?" and "hold me please". we are trying not to... but it's hard knowing she's our baby.
-although she is very independent, she insists she is our "baby cakes".
-she has definitely overstayed her welcome in the terrible 2's club. She has been clingy, extra whiny, and cries at the drop of a dime. However... her attitude will change in a split second and then she is Happy, Funny, and acts like nothing happened!
-she is still sleeping great with 1 nap most days.
-she is still not potty trained... absolutely no interest =(. boo.
-I often call her a 'hot mess'. her hair is still pretty curly, and refuses to stay in whatever hair band it's in... within a few hours she looks like she just woke up! =)
-she counts to 17 (missing a few numbers in between), knows how to say her alphabet, and knows most of her colors.
-her fine and gross motor skills are excellent... she keeps up with whatever Will and Isa do, to include cutting, coloring, jumping, climbing, riding, and brushing her own teeth.
-right now she loves My Little Pony (she talks about her FUTURE pony party daily).
-she still loves to sing. favorites right now are the songs from our Sky vacation bible school, You Are My Sunshine, Tomorrow, Life's a Happy Song (from the Muppets) and I See the Light (from Tangled).
-she still runs to family members with the biggest smile and hug (this is heartwarming, and I hope it never stops).
Our little girl is growing up too fast. Even though she insists on being called a "baby" it's evident from her daily routines, that she is not. She is a loving and happy little girl that wants to be a part of everything we do.
