Daddy Time

Throwing Gang Signs in her Sleep

Bath Time!

"hmm, this pinky is kind of tasty!"
"I'm a good eater; just take a look at that belly!"


Gabriela really enjoys her bath time. This is her second non-sponge bath. I'm just going to have to pretend it's her first since I forgot to get out the camera the first time.

As I was getting everything ready, Gabriela started crying and I sighed and resigned myself to the fact that bath time would not be so pleasant. But the instant I put her into her tub, she calmed down, started looking all around, and really seemed to enjoy being in the water. phew!

We are so Adventurous: Part 2

Gabriela loves her BabyBjorn Bouncer. She loves it so much, in fact, that I had the guts to suggest we attend the outdoor movie on Monday night in Crystal City. During the summers they have free outdoor screenings of movies, and it's just one block away from our apartment.

So we loaded up Gabriela in the BabyBjorn, packed a couple snacks and baby essentials, including her bouncer and headed over for free popcorn and James Bond movie goodness.

We didn't make it through the whole movie, but we were very proud of Gabriela for making it 1.5 hours just sleeping and bouncing away through loud action movie sequences and planes flying overhead. She even successfully nursed with a (gasp!) blanket over her head!!

We got the hint that she was over it when she started getting a little fidgetty (okay, a lot of fidgetty), and were all packed up and on our way back by the time she started fussing.

We may just try to go again another Monday. The whole series is James Bond movies, but they're ending it with Austin Powers. Too funny.

Check it Out!

If you look closely, you can see one of my little dimples in this pic.

Check out my beautiful blankie that Auntie Adie made for me. I am also trying out my new Mary Jane socks I just got in the mail along with lots of other goodies from Auntie Adie, Uncle Ian and my cousins, Claire & Natalie.


In other news, I found my fingers the other day, and I've been sucking vigorously on them ever since. But still no milk. What's a girl to do??

We are so Adventurous

That's right. Last night we had guests over for dinner. Lane volunteered to cook his signature feta cheese pasta and Wes & Ioana brought wine and salad to share. It was a great success. I was proud of us. Although, we learned that Gabriela does not like to nurse discreetly. She wants the whole world to know she's eating and therefore, gets very fussy if someone has the nerve to cover her up with a blankie while she's feasting!! We'll have to work on that.

Since Gabriela's cord fell off on Wednesday, I decided to pull out her bathtub and give her a real bath today. Based on her reaction to her sponge bath, I thought she'd be a little upset about getting in the water, but she actually seemed to enjoy it.

We read Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? today. She paid attention the whole time and really liked the pictures.

We'll try to post some new pics soon. This girl must be growing more because all she seems to do is sleep, sleep, and sleep some more. sheesh!

Congratulations, Auntie Ann!

We are so happy for you and your big day today. My momma and daddy really wish they could be there with you to celebrate, but I'm too little to come along, and they didn't want to leave me here by myself ;)

You are GLOWING. We can't wait to meet Uncle Jesse and send you both big giant hugs and kisses. We are so excited to hear all the details of your big wedding day.

Sending lots of love your way...
