The Big Girl Chair

Gabby has been in love with this chair since it was given to her many months ago but she hasn't been able to get in and out of it on her own until recently...I threw in the first picture just because it's so darn cute!

Got Water?

Gabby has discovered the water cooler...our floor is taking a beating from all the spillage! We had it blocked with the dog food but where there's a will....there's a Gabby!

Shopping Again

I think Gabby has a thing for straws. She picked this out at Walmart and wouldn't put it down. So guess who owns a Dora cup now? :)

I'm starving and I have no toys...

Whatever! But you would think so looking at these pictures.

Breakfast with the Grimes'

Cheerios Anyone?

Born To Shop

Gabby sure loves to shop and she did quite well last week. Even though she was sick, she took the time to check out her stuff. I think she may take after Grandmama???????




Charge it please!

Sitting with her Old Navy loot...she sure looks happy!

Looking at everything Grandmama bought her.

Teething and Fever

We spent most of last week in Edmonton. John had a conference and some appointments and I had training. Gabby was really sick the entire time. She is getting her top teeth and she had a low fever from Wednesday to Sunday. She was so sick but she still found a way to smile. She is such a good little girl!

We got to go to Rick and Dee's on Saturday and we had such a good time. Gabby really likes Ricky.

You can see from the pictures below that she is not feeling well. She is really pale.



At Jungle Jim's...she really liked drinking water like a big girl...

Laid back. This is how she sits in her stroller now. We were waiting for John at the dentist and she grabbed a couple of pamphlets. She still has them!


Our room overlooked the restaurant. Gabby loved to get in the window and watch everyone below...

With Daddy in the hotel...

She is so pale and sick but still having fun...

Again, looking out at the restaurant....

Playing with Uncle Cameron - he is the one under the coffee table!

Are you ready for this?

Well are you ready Auntie D? Are you sitting down for this one?

Elmo Chair

Poor Baby

Poor baby fell and hit her head on the coffee table. Thank you Auntie A for helping me through my panic! She is fine and she is sleeping in Daddy's arms right now. How sweet! Here is a picture I just took of her and the other two were earlier today while she was playing!

Hurricane Gabby

Gabby loves to explore the computer room...

Good Morning Aunties!

We just took this picture for you. We hope you like it!

Some Amanda Had

So another week is over! Gabby did quite well but I am especially pleased at how well she did today. John is in Grande Prairie on a conference and her regular sitter couldn't babysit so Gabby went to Amanda's. I was very surprised to find that Gabby had eaten three meals and almost 2 bottles of milk while I was gone! She also napped! Wow! She wouldn't eat or drink at all at her sitters! I guess the 9 month old was a good influence on her! Well Amanda is Supermom so I should have known things would go so smoothly!

I have training next week in the city and John has a conference and a few appointments so the three of us are going in for 3 days. Should be fun! We are staying at Fantasyland again!

Here are a few pics that Amanda had floating around on her computer.

Frustration

This video was actually taken just before I went back to work. She walks around with her walker thing but gets very frustrated when she can't go any farther. Now I move things for her but once she is better at it, I will be letting her figure it out. Enjoy!

The Climber

She just about has my jeans down - she was tugging to get my attention while I was washing dishes. She later started biting my legs....

She may look like Daddy...

But she eats like Grandmama....see picture 5... :)

The Update.

I will get new pics up this weekend but I just wanted to fill everyone in on my first week back at work. Gabby has adjusted really well. She seems to like it at the sitters - she doesn't cry when she is dropped off. She likes the children there and seems to have fun. The only problem is that she is not eating or drinking much but I'm sure that will change once she settles in. At any rate she nurses enough to make up for it in the evening. Right now she only needs about 20 oz of milk plus solids and she definately gets that in the evening and at night.

Also, she is not all needy and clingy when I get home like I thought she would be. She is very happy to see me of course, but then she just eats, nurses and goes off playing as normal! I am so proud of her!

Today is my Happy Friday and we are enjoying our day together. We had breakfast with Poppy and now we are playing with the dogs. Be sure to check back for pictures later this weekend.

Love you all,
Selina
