Nine Months and Counting

Today is Gabriella Lilisol's 9 month birthday. She is a very big girl. Well, big in personality, small in stature. She is crawling and shaking her head no and very aware of her surroundings. Gabi's very agile for such a tiny person. She had us a little worried for the first couple of hours because she wasn't too sure of us. But once we got her playing and over that early evening hump, she was right back to that sassy personality we know and love. She's such a joy to watch and interact with. We are so lucky!!


Our friends, the H.'s, are here and they're waiting out Emma's Embassy appointment. Gabi was absolutely fascinated by Emma's big brothers. She thought they were pretty cool. Gabi also thinks her daddy is pretty delightful. She's been telling him some stories, showing him how her toys really work and spitting raspberries at him. So funny.



Apparently, Gabi is quite the thinker. She often has a thoughtful look on her face with her tongue sticking out. She must be concentrating very hard.

Nana, the Mozart Music Box was a big hit, just like with her cousins. She's very intrigued.

Here's what many of you have been waiting for. The red spots on her face and arms are bug bites. I'm not sure what got a hold of her, but it did a good job. She's so sweet, she's hard to resist...
