After mastering the art of belly flopping onto her stomach for some self imposed tummy time she started to rock back and forth on her knees and feet getting a hang of this whole movement thing.
Ever day she's getting closer and close to the big event. Watching her cousin Akira zip around the house has added to her ambition (we think.) As of now she's getting really good at spinning in circles and going from sitting to her knees and then back again...stay tuned :-)
Testing the limbs
Reach for it
dive bomb!
and then we just roll over and wait for mom to pick us up :-)
And as soon as the clothes come off she gets real fired up and ready to go. This baby love to be naked!
Fun and games with cousin Akira's tutu.
Gabs was not very amused with this frilly number but she sure was cute!!!
This was more her speed. Anything you hang over her so she can try to grab gets a delighted squawk these days.
Cousin time with Akira. One of the best things about this time in Sonoma County is sharing our home with Gabi's cousin. Used to be G would just look on with amazement as her cousin scooted around the place...or on grumpier days with dread as the "big kid" made a B line for her. Before Gabs could sit up she was like a sitting duck. Now that she can sit up on her own and "play toys" with her cousin things are getting cute. Akira is a great sharer and seems to really like hanging with her cousin!
Akira calls Gabs GG. I'd heard her say it before but I never really made the connection until the other day Gabs was sleeping in my room and when she woke up crying Akira scooted into her room calling out for GG as she looked into Gabi's crib. It was so cute!!!
Baby Bath time :-)
Aunt Kellie stopped in for a quick visit the other day and got in some snuggle time with Gabs. Can't wait to take Gabi to Baltimore for a longer visit later this month!! Until then this will do :-)
A side note...Gabs has frog shoes. For those of you in the know....can't believe I gave my baby frog shoes :-)
