Time for Joy

We had a nice Thanksgiving with the family in Tennessee and then we stopped in Asheville on the way back and spent some time with Mick, Nancy and Kelc. Gabrielle met all their four-legged creatures including the Rottie and the horses. She loved the dogs but didn't really have any feelings about the horses.

December has been a very busy month for us. We had an ORI that we were prepping for and now it's over. We got an Excellent, so life is good. It has been a VERY big month for Gabrielle. She's been changin so much and learning tons of things. She's quite mobile although she doesn't crawl on her hands and knees yet. She'll get up and rock and lay back down and that makes progress toward where she's trying to go, so she keeps doing that and is satisfied. She's used a walker, and within a week figured out how to go forwards and even turn around and change directions. She's spent 2 nights without me and did great!
She has 3 teeth and is working on the fourth. Unfortuneately, part of her teething process is gritting the 3 that she has. I can hardly stand it!

Right now, Danny's mom is here, so Gabrielle is being spoiled by another Grandparent and absolutely loving it. She's helped Gabrielle taste some new foods. She likes pudding and ketchup sucked off a french fry.

We're having a blast!
