Playtime on the Playground

Even though it's late January, we have had a few warmer days in Georgia. One day it even hit 60! So, Mommy and Daddy seized the opportunity to take me to the park. I had never been on the playground before, so we gave it a try. There were so many fun things to see. There's not much you can do at 15 pounds, but I tried a few things.

Here's my hilarious blowing raspberries face.

Mommy and I attempting the super long slide. It was funny...Gabriella was completely expressionless on this one....like it was no big deal.

Daddy's little daredevil.
Slides are fun!

I love playing with Daddy.

Wheee!!!

Daddy met us at the park after work. He scooped me up and took me straight to the slides!

The playground is fun, Mommy!

Just us girls.

Checkin' everything out.

Hmmm...so this is what they call a slide...

Standing strong

Today, I showed Mommy just how strong I am! I stood for a long time...all by myself! Of course, I had to lean on something, but I'm getting there. When someone holds my hands, I take steps. It's way faster than crawling (which I have NO interest in)...who needs to crawl anyway?

Mommy is so proud of all my hard work!

A cute booty, I know.
This table is so interesting

You want me to stop for a picture? Seriously, I'm busy...


Hmm...how does this laptop work? (Daddy's little tech-savy girl)


Which part should I play with next?


Standing like a big girl!

Can you believe I'm 7 1/2 months old?

I stand everywhere now!

Visiting Mommy's Classroom

Today, I stopped by Mommy's classroom. The students weren't in there, so I got to hang out. It was so colorful in there, I didn't know where to look first! I wanted to touch everything.

Beanbags are fun!

Man, I'm gonna have to get one of these!

Such fascinating posters everywhere! Here I am getting a close-up view.

Mommy, the poster behind you is more interesting right now...

Okay, one pose.

Standing on the desks...such a big girl!

Sleepy Sheep Slippers

Noni bought me some cute little slippers for winter. They have sleepy sheep on them. I found them fascinating!

But...not as tasty as my paci!

Yum. We're friends now.

How'd this get here?

Blowin' raspberries

Smiley girl!

Daddy Time!

I love it when Daddy comes home from work! I get so excited, I wiggle like crazy! Daddy usually gets home in time to read to me (my favorite!), change me, and feed me dinner. Oh boy, what fun!
I'm gonna get you, Daddy! Biting and kissing Daddy.


Daddy just won't leave my cheeks alone.

Flyin' high!

Let's open the mail together.


Read it again, Daddy! And again, and again...

Perfectly Playful

Perfectly content playing with some of her favorite toys:

Meet "Sarge"...the barking, wagging, stuffed pug (a replica of Popi's dog). She loves it so much she wants to give him lots of sweet kisses...even if she's in the middle of playing with something else.

She got new bath toys for Christmas. And she thought bathtime couldn't get any better. Man, it's fun!

Time spent on Daddy's lap is the BEST! She can't wait for him to get home from work.


She's showing Noni how she plays with her new table. What fun!

Cute as a button

Just a few pictures of Gabriella in some of her cute outfits. It's so hard to choose what she's going to wear each day! :)

Showin' off her teeth...and "hat hair"

"Whatchu talkin' about?" You can't see it, but there's a little elephant on her hat...

Yeah, she points with her left hand all the time...so funny.


I loved this little outfit. Oh, and she's got on her first pair of Nike's. ;)


Noni's little ladybug.


Who knew leather could taste so good??


This is her happy scream


Reaching for the camera in her Addidas outfit

Toast & Mango

Gabriella is such a good eater! Here, she's trying a new feeder/teether...which she loves! She also tried some toast for the first time.


She ate this mango so quickly!


And with such passion! Delicious!


After toast comes playtime with Daddy!


Wow, this is the yummiest thing ever!


She wanted ALL of it!! :)
