Gabriella's 1st Easter

First of all, thank you Jesus for Your sacrifice. He LIVES!

This past Sunday, we celebrated Gabriella's first Easter. We went to church and then went to Noni & Popi's house for a yummy lunch and a great egg hunt. We had lots of fun with our family- what a great day!

The Easter Bunny brought Gabriella an Easter duck CareBear!

...and a really colorful Spanish & English book, which she loved of course.

Cute basket.

Daddy helped her get some up high!

Let's go, Daddy!
Who needs eggs when there's grass to play with?

I love this! Laney's giving Gabriella sweet sugar. Hahaha...

Pigtails

Mommy sure does like playing with my hair! Today she gave me cute little pigtails.


Mommy took something away...so sad!

Blinking

Gabriella started doing something we thought was pretty funny-purposely (is this a word?)blinking. She's so silly.

Let's Do Lunch

We call Gabriella, "Mikey," b/c she'll eat anything! (Thank God). Here's a typical lunch for us at home. I've just noticed that there aren't any messy food shots here...sorry. Maybe next time. ;)

Peek-a-boo with the bib.
Listening for the doggies.
Feeding herself.
Such funny expressions!

A Day at the Square

It's been cold for a while. So Mommy seized the opportunity to head out on the first nice day! We went and hung out at the Marietta Square for the day. We did some walking, shopping, people-watching, and of course had lunch.
Just chillin'.
I'm ready for lunch!

Just us girls.
There's always time for peek-a-boo!

Yep, we're here.

A Mess...Who, Me?

"Mommy wonders how I can make such a mess if I'm not walking or crawling alone. I have my ways."

Wow.
"It wasn't me, Mommy"

"Look what I found...a pail!"

Yummy.
Yummy again. (She really likes carpet. Don't ask.)

This is a new move.

Kick, kick, kick!

Love this girl!

Breakfast with Popi

The other morning, Mommy and Lil G met Popi for breakfast at Panera. We had so much fun, as you can see in the pictures.

We're buds.
Wheee!
"Yay!"
Such a sweet moment

Kiss Me

Yes, I know it's way past St. Patty's Day, but I figured better late than never. =) Here are a few pics from Gabriella's first 'green day.'

"Kiss Me, I'm Irish" (She actually is part-Irish)

Busy, busy girl

Before a walk with Mommy...it was so beautiful out!

A stop for refreshing...with her green bottle of course

So sweet to share!
