Getting Ready

Gabby wanted to get in the crib while I had Chad taking a few pictures last night. I don't have many pictures of my growing belly this pregnancy. This is probably one of the last pregnant photos this time around! (A girl can hope can't she?)

Babies

I took these photos about a week and a half ago so I could post some recent photos of Gabby and just have some everyday shots of her playing. I meant to post these that the same day. Although it's not quite same day, here is Gabby playing with her baby dolls a few days ago.



I just hope she's this sweet to baby Carter when he makes his arrival. Which, by the way, could be anytime now! Due date is officially 3 weeks away...and counting!

A little late...

Gabby woke up in the middle of Saturday night with a high fever and vomiting. By Sunday morning we had decided to take her to the doctor, but being Easter the pediatrician's office was closed. We ended up at the ER just to make sure everything was okay. They looked in her ears, checked her throat, did a flu swab, a strep throat swab AND a chest X-Ray. Everything came back clear, so they deemed it something "viral." Anyway, we didn't make it to church or to do an egg hunt. She's much better now, and didn't have a fever at all today! (Yea!) Here's a card I made with some pictures I took earlier in the month in her Easter dress. Sorry it's late, but our Easter was busy taking care of a sick toddler!

Cooperation

That's rare for a 2 year old...well, at times anyway. It seems Gabby always chooses to be uncooperative when I get the camera out. Last weekend I attempted to do Easter photos. (I'll share some of those later in the week) While I had everything set up I decided to do some "official" 2 year photos. These were done after the Easter photos, but I definitely got more cooperation for these! Of course, at this point I had Dora to show Gabby how to sit, and then she helped me make Gabby smile. So...here's my cooperative 2 year old (and Dora)!

Bubbles!

Gabby loves bubbles. What child doesn't? She got a little van that blows bubbles for her birthday. Tonight while I was cooking supper she wanted to put bubbles in it. I told her we would play with it after we ate. Not 5 minutes after leaving the table she was bringing the toy to me shouting "Bubbles! Bubbles!" How could I say no? Look how much she was enjoying it...

I can't decide if I like the color or black/white better...so I'm posting both!

Up and Down, Around and Around

We celebrated Gabby's birthday last Saturday with a party at the carousel. She had so much fun. She didn't get tired of riding the carousel at all (I don't think her guests did either...although their parents are another story I'm sure!) Here are a few pictures from the celebration. Gabby didn't want to look at the camera...there was too much fun going on!

Last ONE

Last day of being one year old, that is. Gabby will be two years old tomorrow! Where has the last year gone (or the past two for that matter!)? I started this blog right after her 1st birthday to share some photos. I can't believe I'll be posting pictures from her 2nd birthday party soon.

I had to get in another post while she was still officially under 2. Here she is in her 1 (almost 2!) year old world ...popsicile, Franklin on t.v., baby doll, and messy-after-nap-hair.
