9 Months

I can't believe Gabriella is nine months old already! She has grown so much in the past few weeks. She is crawling all over the place now. She is even saying mama and she calls dad baba. We are having so much fun with her.

Have you ever seen a cuter naked baby?!

She loves dogs, Copper has recently become her best friend. Since she started sharing all her food, Copper never leaves her side. It is so fun to watch. Usually Gabriella takes a bite, offers me a bite, then gives Copper a bite and she just keeps doing that until the food is all gone. So cute!

Holiday Fun

I've been such a bad photographer lately. I haven't taken any pictures since the holidays have ended. So here are a few more holiday pictures.

Christmas Fun

We had so much fun this Christmas. I have to admit, Christmas is a lot better with kids involved. Here is Gabriella's Christmas dress from Mom and Dad.

This was on Christmas Eve. Here a few of the grandkids and great grandkids in their Christmas pajamas from Grandma.

Here are the kids on Christmas morning. As you can tell, Gabriella was so tired. We finally had to wake her up, she wanted to sleep in!

Santa brought Gabriella a horse that jumps and spins for Christmas. She loves it!

She also got to have her first sleepover with her cousins. We went to boondocks and won a ton of prizes!!

Where is Gabriella?

You've probably been wondering where is Gabriella? It has been forever since I've posted anything. Well, she is keeping us so busy!

She is into lots of new things now. Such as her new addiction to solid foods. She had a sleep over at her great grandma's house this week.

She loves to roll all over the place now. She can crawl a little, but only in reverse.

I love this picture above, this is classic Gabriella. She loves to smile and have fun.

She got all of her Christmas shopping done yesterday. She loves to sing Christmas songs. One of her favorites is Santa Claus is coming to town.

Lastly, she loves her dad's hat! She's steals it from him any chance she can. It does work well when we don't have a toy to give her. She has also discovered a new favorite toy this month which is wrapping paper. If you give her a little, she will be entertained for hours!

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!!
