A Banner Day

The day started with a big first for us. Gabi Sol sat in a highchair for the first time with us. She couldn't sit up on her own last trip and now that she can we thought we'd try it. We hesitated before today because she is so tiny and the hotel has those wooden platform highchairs and I thought she'd need tons of blankets to support her. Nope! They brought one of the chairs out that also had a U-shaped cushion and she LOVED it! She thought she was really big stuff. And she proceeded to eat a bunch of bananas off the buffet. It's so cool to see the changes in her. She kept standing up on the crossbar that her feet were touching. What a squirrelly girl!

She's been a doll all day. Ed went with Rob and Amy to the Wal-Martesque store down the street. Gabi and I hung out by the pool. She played with her toys, ate and took a great nap. When they returned all the H. kids came down and we all went swimming. You should see this ridiculous crew. We scare other families away. But we have such a good time!!! We couldn't be here with a better match of friends. And Jay and Drew make me want boys. They're so wild and funny. I just love them.

Tonight we're ordering in from this place called Pollo Campero. Apparently, it's to die for. When you get on the plane to go back to the states, there is always at least one person with takeout Pollo Campero. We're going to hang out in the H.'s suite AKA Disneyland and enjoy a night in. I think there's some football on and the girls can play. It'll be a nice laidback night.



A few pics from the day so far. By the way, Gabi's newest party trick and sticking her tongue out. Get used to it-- there's a lot of that going on. And it's much harder this trip to get good pictures of Gabi because she's so busy and active that most of them turn out blurry. I think it's probably fair to say that the ratio of good to not-so-good is 1:7.
