big girl

this weekend we lowered the crib. yep, the day has finally arrived (finally meaning not a happy day).  i miss my little g being so little.  she is growing up too fast.  she's sitting up and pulling up and crawling all over the place.  i have had to make sure that every little tiny scrap is off the floor because this little one will go to great lengths to get it and swallow it before i can get to her!  for example, the other day i was changing her diaper and was freaked out by the blue poop! yes in know, blue poop. that was until i looked a little closer and realized it was the corner of a magazine page!  silly little girl.  taking paper away from this girl is like canceling Christmas.  

  

before i know it this little one will be in a toddler bed.  GEESH!

splish splash

this little girlie has sure enjoyed her bath time lately, and so have we.  It seems like every night after we've eaten dinner, Scottie and I both fight over who gets to give her a bath.  Needless to say we are both in there with the camera, toys, bubbles, and of course splashing of water and I just can't imagine how bath time could get any more fun with little G   

                                                                                                                                                                       

  

          

the witching hour

Bedtime at our house starts at 7:30 (for Gabby that is).  But if she doesn't go to bed between the magical hours of 7:30-8:00 it's a lost cause.  Well one night we were out running errands and didn't get back in time for bed.  So consequently Gabby was laughing up a storm and was squealing in delight!  I had never seen her like this before and it was quite hilarious.  We eventually put her in her crib and thought she'd go to sleep.  I at the time was being a paranoid new mom and noticed that she would nuzzle her face into her bumper and I was nervous that she would fall asleep all relaxed and suffocate. So I pulled the bumper up around the crib so there was a gap where her mouth and nose were.  After we put Gabby down I went to check on her and this is what I found....

She just couldn't get enough of her new view and finally fell asleep an hour later.  Silly girl.
