Gabriella

Miss Gabby is 18 months old today.



She is running as much as walking these days. She’s crawling up the stairs on her own or she can walk up them while holding my hand.



Her sister is her all time favorite person. She likes to sit on her, tease her, and tickle her. She also asks about her Daddy every morning and won’t stop asking until I tell her where he is and that he loves her. She asks about PawPaw every morning too. She’s still a Mama’s girl though and she loves to snuggle with me.

She’s still the quieter of the two girls, but she’s started to talk more. Her vocabulary has grown by leaps and bounds. Some of her favorite words are “messy” and “tickle.” She has started adding verbs like “go” and adjectives like “blue.” She’s starting to use “please” and “thank you,” with a few reminders.



She’s also a sneaky little girl. She has a shelf full of books, but she’ll take a few of mine out to the kitchen and flip through them where I can’t see her. She also likes to “type” at the computer if we leave the lid open when we get up. The shift key must be her favorite, because the notice for sticky keys is often up when we make it back.

She waves bye, signs more, and gives sweet kisses.



Her favorite toys are baby dolls and balls.

She’ll be going on Monday to the doctor for her well visit and we’ll see how big she is. I think we’re finally finished with the Kansas snow, and she’s big enough now, so we’ll actually turn her forward facing this week! She’ll finally see what’s coming at her instead of what she’s passed.

We love you Gabriella!
