Mommy's a sucker for cute shoes



Okay, I couldn't resist these flip flops. Danny says that I'm ridiculous, and he's probably right, but they were just too adorable. I resisted them for 2 walmart visits...but on the 3rd one, I just had to put them on her!







We're having fun watching all the little changes. Gabrielle rolled over on Thursday evening. She was laying in her boppy and supposed to be playing her little kicking piano. I was in the kitchen cooking dinner. Well after a few minutes she decided that she wanted to watch TV instead. So I looked over at her and she had rolled to her side snuggled up to the pillow so she could see the TV. A few minutes later I looked back over and she had rolled to her belly and all I could see was her little head sticking up over the boppy and she was watching me walking around the kitchen. She was so cute with her little bobbly head following my movement.

Family visits






We had a busy time last week with Grandma Shannon and Aunties Summer, Autumn and Alissa visiting from Florida. Gabrielle was spoiled with kisses and playing and love.

Motor Skills Vroom Vroom!







So, it has been a big week for us! Gabrielle has learned to recognize and hit the toys on her bouncy seat, hold and shake and "eat" a rattle, and she has actually giggled for her first times. What a busy little bug! I've been so excited and just playing and playing with her. First baby giggles are so adorable! And with a digital camera ever at hand, we've been able to capture many of these first moments. I was in the kitchen loading the dishwasher when I saw that Miss Brie had discovered her bouncy seat toys. It was so cool, and I watched her for a while. Then I turned back around to finish what I was doing and I heard the music from it. I turned back around and saw that her little hand was wrapped around the ring and she had pulled it for music! She's only done it that once, but it was so great to be there and watch her discover these things. She also was able to follow the sounds of the toys on her swing tray. She gets a little scared by these sounds if they catch her off guard though. We'll have to wait a bit for the swing to become a friend for her. I just had to share all the new and exciting discoveries!
