Gabby Update

Gabby has been a trooper even though she has been sick. We had our first high fever of 104.3 and Gabby made sure I saw what she ate for lunch! It is amazing what a cool bath and some motrin can do! She turned into her normal self and started pulling everything out of the cupboards. We have been to the doctor and are headed back tomorrow. This morning Gabby was up before the roosters and was ready to go...mom on the other hand does not function well in the hours between 1:30am and 6:00am!

Getting Ready for Halloween

We are getting in the holiday spirit and have carved our pumpkins. Gabby wanted to eat her pumpkin more than she wanted to help me clean out the inside. She was a big help in holding the top of the pumpkin and making sure it didn't get misplaced!

Gabby's 1 year stats

I thought I'd share with you all a little bit of our "unhappy" Gabby. We had Gabby's 1-year appointment yesterday (when this video was shot) and the doctor asked us if Gabby had been a little extra fussy or if her sleep patterns had been distrupted. We said "yes" but thought it was related to the travel for her party. Come to find out, Gabby has an ear infection and an eye infection and this is her "unhappy" self :) As you can see, she is very tough. and we feel very fortunate!

Her 1-year stats are: 31 inches long (90%), 21 lbs (50%), and her head is in the 90% as well. On top of Gabby not feeling well, she had two shots as well. She is a trooper for sure!

Since Gabby's party, she has started to take off. Today she is "offically" walking...I know I know, we are in for it now. Next thing to figure out is the food...She should be eating what we eat, but we have to figure out what we are eating first!

Gabby on her First Birthday

These pictures were from October 16, 2009 - Gabby's first birthday. It is hard to believe that she is a year old already...time really does fly by when you're having fun. Gabby was totally spoiled on her birthday and got lots of great new reading material and clothes. She is set!

We will have more pictures from her birthday party in a couple of days and as soon as I get them I will post for your viewing pleasure.

Gabby in Del Mar and First Steps

We went to the beach this weekend and Gabby had a ball. She loved walking on the grass and the swings. She continues to love her books (even the "spooky" one that Grandmother Ann brought that weekend). This last picture reminds me so much of Gordon that I couldn't resist putting it up :)

Gabby is starting to walk more and more. She is testing herself to see how far she can go. We have seen her go 8-10 steps! This isn't her best outing, but still fun to watch.

Aunt Sandy

Aunt Sandy came to visit Gabby and me last week. It was a short visit but wonderful. Gabby enjoys spending time with her extended family...and as usual is wearing a big smile :)
