Fun with mom in the creek

Megan and I took Gabriella to play in the creek and sand again today and of course she loved it. I think we actually have a couple of pictures of us together thanks so Megan so I will go ahead and post those seeing as they are quite rare. Gabriella is supposedly taking a nap at the moment but I keep hearing her squeal and talk to herself. She keeps up a running dialogue all day long and has become quite impatient and demanding at times but is mostly just darling. Everywhere we go people are just tickled by her and her sweet smile. What a cutie pie! Im just so lucky to have her. Here are the pics.

Beach Volleyballer in the making....

Okay so she didnt actually play any volleyball or do anything besides play in the sand but I could tell that she really wished she could. One day little Gabriella... one day. The sand she is playing in is in this darling little park that I just took her to and all the little kids that you see around her were just playing but they were sweet enough to share with Gabriella and try to coax her into smiling into the camera. It finally worked and I got it on tape so enjoy. They also made some sand piles for her and instead of smashing them as you would assume a small child would she gently poked them with her finger. So funny! Gabriella absolutely loves it outside and squeals and laughs every time she gets to walk around or play in the grass or water in the creek. She cries and is so sad whenever we have to come back inside but since she is usually so tuckered out by the time we get home she does take some mighty good naps. Here are the latest pics and videos.

Gabby's Big Escape!

Our little girl is hilarious and is walking EVERYWHERE! We cant keep up with her already which is a little frightening. Here is a video of her trying to run away down the sidewalk and a little picture of her with mashed potatoes all over her face. Life sure is entertaining with this little one around.

Bath time!

Gabriella has upgraded her bath to a big girl bath and apparently loves it. She cries every time I take her out now and I think she could play in the bathtub for hours if I let her. Here is a little video I shot last night of her enjoying herself. She is so funny! On a side note I finished my Breaking Dawn book on Sunday night and LOVED it!!! Hopefully all you out there will love it too. I am just so sad its over.. I guess I still have the movie to look forward to though. Thank goodness for that!

4th of July and a cute girl

Here are some pics of gabs during 4th of July which we were in Hawaii for and didnt get to see our girl enjoy her first 4th. From the pictures though she looked pretty tired and not that excited so maybe we didnt miss much. A couple of other cute pics of her while at Grandmas and one of us together which rarely happens seeing as I am the one usually taking pictures. Enjoy!

Edward here I come...

So I have just become the proud owner of Stephanie Meyers latest "Breaking Dawn" which I have been waiting for since forever it seems. Finally I get to find out if Bella becomes a vampire and if she picks Edward or Jacob. Exciting stuff.. So if any of you wonder over the next few days why you havent heard from me it is because I will be spending every available second reading my new book. Yea for me!!

She's a walker!!

Okay so Gabriella is officially a walker. It seriously happened just over the last two days but she is really getting the hang of it and seems to prefer walking now to crawling. She is a bit wobbly on those little stems of hers but every day gets better and better. Its so darling! I keep trying to get video of it but as soon as the camera comes out she falls or crawls to me to get the camera. She is just so darn cute if I do say so myself. Im a proud mama!!!
