Arizona

We have arrived in Arizona!

It's beautiful here.

Gabby was pretty good on the 4hr plane ride over. She slept for a good 2hrs or so. I tried keeping her occupied and busy. I wrapped up about 6 new toys, and gave her a new one every 30min or so. Worked like a charm.

She just went down for her first nap, at noon. Which is 2pm our time. Possibly jet lagged hehehe. She has been exploring all morning long.

Today we will be out and about and will be able to see more of this town. Excited to see what it has to offer.

Such a joy

I had so much fun with Gabby tonight.

She's been so lovey dovey to me and clingy. I love it! She kissed my cheek a few times and wants to be close to me.

Tonight, before bed time, she grabbed one of her socks she was wearing earlier today. She would put it towards my nose and I'd say "*sniff* pew!" And she would crack up laughing. She did it over an over.

She would also pretend she was holding something between her fingers and hold it out like she was offering it to you. Mario would make a slurping sound. She would squirm and laugh some more. We all had so much fun tonight.

She's fast asleep now. I think she wore herself out!

Gabrielle is 11 months!

 

One more month and she is ONE! 

Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep an 11 month old still for a picture LOL she loves to be on the move. She crawls all over, quickly. 

She likes to fake putting things in her mouth. 

She likes to dance. 

She has been putting herself to sleep for naps. 

She still loves bath time. 

We've seen a little attitude come out ;) 

She does her "show me the money" hand movements. She says bye. 

She's been eating more and more 'people' foods. She loves mac and cheese, grilled cheese, and rice rice rice!

Still breast fed :)

Still not sleeping through the night...and has been waking even more than usual. About 4-5 times a night for weeks now. This momma is tired!

Valentine's Day

Girly style!
We are all feeling ill. M is feeling the worst. Gabby is just getting over her cold and M's and mine is just beginning. He went off to bed early so Gabby and I sat in the living room watching "The Vow" :)

A year ago today

I married this fella. Lucky me!
It was a crazy year. A new chapter for us as a couple. A new baby. Ups and downs. Tears (on my end lol) and smiles. Learning, growing, and changing.
Bring on the next year. :)
