Seattle

Here are a few more pictures; these are from Seattle.

We got to meet my new nephew Owen. Isn't he the cutest?!

Our first Thanksgiving day picture of the three of us!

We rode the ferry to a small island while we were there. Gabriella loved it, she enjoyed feeding the seagulls!

We visited Pike's Place. Which was a lot of fun, Gabriella got to touch a fish, but they weren't throwing any while we were there.

Lastly, she got to sit on Santa's lap. She was so good, I think she liked all the other kids watching her more than anything!

Portland

Last week we took a trip to Portland and Seattle. We had a ton of fun, here are a few pictures from our time in Portland.We visited the Multnomah Falls; which were amazing. They gave Kauai a run for the best waterfalls we've seen!

The highlight of the trip was Gabriella got to meet her friend Luke. They almost the same age, only a week difference. She had so much fun playing with his toys. Although, she didn't let him play with any of his own toys; everything he had, she wanted.

Aren't they cute!!

Play Time

Gabriella has definetly discovered how much fun she has with toys. She has to have something in her hands at all times. It doesn't have to be a baby toy. Anything works, the remote, salt and pepper shakers, napkins, or anything she can get her hands on. She is so much fun!!

She still loves being naked. Now she will roll away from us while we are trying to get her dressed.

Gabriella has gotten so big this month! I can't keep up with her, every morning she looks like a new little person. We are enjoying every minute of her. It is so fun to see what she will learn each day. Every day is an adventure with her in our lives now!

Halloween & Other Stuff

Happy Halloween!!!
This was a cake we made to get in the Halloween Spirit. Oh, was it um, um, good!

1st time Trick-or-Treating.
Gabriella dressed up like a little Polar Bear. We thought it was going to be freezing, and we found out she has a double ear infection. So, we went with something extra warm. Gabriella with her 2 cousins Mackenzie-The Pink Butterfly, and Courtney-The Dead Bride.

The rest of her Trick-or-Treating Clan:
Parker-The Elephant & and Tyler- The Stinging Bee!!! Ella has so much fun Trick-or-Treating with all of her cousins. The Dead Bride made sure that everyone gave Ella candy.
1st Time to the Zoo!!!
We had a ball taking Gabi to the zoo. She loved looking at all the animals, but she had more fun flirting with all the other little boys in strollers.
