Backyard fun!

Same here: Old photos that never made it to publication! Here is the debut of Summer Gabby in her backyard finest!

Six Months!

How did six months come and go with no blog entries to show for it?! Better late than never, but the kid won't sit still now and I can't turn a blind eye for one second- even to browse & upload!

Our little sunshine.

Would you look at our little girl, looking so grown up?! Here she is holding Grandma Fifi's hands and looking at herself in the mirror.

Morning time fun.

Even weekday mornings are fun sometimes in our house!

Love this picture....

It's so hard to get it all right- the smile, the camera, the timing... Sometimes the planets align and you get a sweet moment like this. I just want to eat her up!

Hmmmm... smells like Mommy.

I must have left this shirt on the crib rail one day because I came in and found Gabby napping with it. So adorable!! I think she found her lovey! If only we could keep that new mommy smell on it forever...

Daddy asleep on the job...

Ok, dad... you go back to sleep and I'll hold down the fort, ok?

Raspberries!

Gabby is the queen of the raspberries! She's taken to practicing just about anywhere- in church, in the car, in her sleep... I think this face below is the one Britni says makes Gabby look like me. Figures, Gabby gets Mike's looks and my goofiness! ; ) She's going to be one cool kid!

SOOOOO Big!!!

Our chica can sit up so well! Here is Gabby a few weeks ago when she first started really sitting up well. She's a pro now, but she's so cute in these videos- all floppy and leaning forward! Now, she gets brave and does her rock-n-roll routine while she sits up!

I think I can take it from here, ma...

Gabby has been trying to hold her own bottle for a while now. Here she is when she first started holding it on her own:

Inchworm!!!

Gabby does the worm! Baby breakdancing is the best!

Rollin, rollin, rollin!

Gabby is a rolling ma-cheen! She surprised us at 4 months by rolling over in the doctor's office, and now she's all over the place:

Gabby the giggle monster.

Gabby thought it was hilarious when I found her one afternoon after cutting one of her naps short...

We're serious about our food.

Gabby is serious about her food, man. Watch her grab that spoon like it's her last bite on Earth!

GabbyVision!

I think Gabby is part bird. Here she is chirping away for the camera...
