Tricks

Gabriella is showing a few of her cute little tricks. In this video, she 'blows kisses,' does 'oh me,' and chants (not really) 'number 1.' She's so much fun right now!

Canadian Cousins

This week, our cousins (on the Yeomans side) from Canada came to visit. It took a bit to warm up, but soon Gabriella had new friends! She was especially fond of "Auntie" Sharon.

This is how she points at EVERYTHING now! She will point and point and point to get you to tell her what or who it is...or b/c she want to touch whatever it is. The more squished the cheek is, the more she wants it!

A Day of Play

Just some pics of us hanging out around the house.

You've gotta start the morning with some warm milk! (Yes, she's on whole milk now...and she loves it!)
Don't forget snacks!

Her new favorite (musical) book. She's very serious when she plays with this book, pushing all the buttons and animals back down.


Pausing with Mommy

There's always, always time for books.

Sweet smiles!

Funny hair (When I took the bow out, it stayed up!). I love this face!


Playing with Laughing Dolly

G's Walker

Gabriella feels like a big girl pushing her walker around. She loves using it whenever she can! Even though she prefers her walker, she may be close to walking on her own. We'll see!

"See ya!"
"Here I come!"

Hmm...a little sidetracked. She into drawers and cabinets now.

"Fun!"
"Let's go!"

Givin' the Run Around

Gabriella has developed a new interest (and love) of cell phones- both real and toy, though real are the best! Popi thought he would never get his Blackberry back!

Little Miss Hiram

Well, it's been a while since I've been able to post. April has been SUCH a busy month for us! I tend to do several posts at once. Well, here is our life in a nutshell, from mid April to early May. Enjoy!


This weekend was Gabriella's 2nd pageant, Baby Miss Hiram. We entered her to give it another try (to see whether we liked 'the scene') AND b/c she already had the dress! It was fun too. Gabriella had a new bow/headband made by Noni. It was huge, but we loved it! Though we received what we wanted from the pageant (an interesting experience and cute memories), it will probably be her last...at least until she's older and decides she wants to. She did win "First Runner Up," "Most Photogenic," "Prettiest Eyes," and "Prettiest Smile." (But, Mommy could've told you that! hahaha)

Getting ready to go on...

It's over! Now what to do w/ all these banners...

Cheese!

It was so funny- she kept tossing the rose they gave her to the side. Even though her first real word was "Flower," she wanted nothing to do w/ this one! lol

Fun w/ Mommy

That's our happy baby

Clap, clap, clap

She was not ready for Daddy to take the plaque away!

Noni, this is so embarrasing! (but cute!) haha

Captured in the Crib

Mommy decided one day to 'capture' some of my crib moments. She thinks I'm super cute when I wake up.

My sweet baby girl

Chewin' her way out!

Talkin' up a storm!

Play, play, play!

Play-screaming...trust me, she has a lot to say! ;)

Peek a boo! That's where we give kisses...between the slats.

I love being w/ this girl!

Fun at Noni & Popi's house

Mommy and I stopped by Noni & Popi's house one day...just to play. Look at all we did on this rainy day!

I got to practice my walking skills...on their countertop of course!

I pointed out to Noni which colors I'd like her to use to make me a new bow! ;)
I rode the "pop pop" like a pro.



Then I pushed it. Good thing I had overalls on walkin' around on this slick floor!



I had to see the doggies.



I also got to send a few text mssgs. on Popi's Blackberry. I knew just how to do it...Noni let's me practice on hers.



Can't ya see I'm busy, Mommy?



Trying to hide the phone from Popi! =)


Uncle Cam's Visit

Gabriella was SO excited (as we all were) about Uncle Cam visiting from Pheonix. He was able to come for a break during school. She loved seeing him again. As you can see, they were able to spend lots of time together, playing and bonding.

Peaches, Cam, & Gabriella

Sweet kisses from her Uncle

Let's ride! "I have a bike too, Uncle Cam!"

Reading to Uncle Cam. It was cute- she snuggled up to him and they read for a long time.

"Really, let's ride!"

Wearing Uncle Cam's bandana. Uncle Cam liked this so much, he said she needs some of different colors! ;)

Doing the disco in the parking lot...lol

Sweet goodbye hugs...til next time!
