Gabbie is 10 Months Old Today...

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!

I SO Wasn't Kidding...

So a little bit ago, I did a post where I publicly admitted that Kiley is definitely the "funner" parent...

I so wasn't kidding....

And of course, you can't leave the dogs out of the fun!

Pat-a-cake!

Gabbie has mastered the "pat-a-cake" and "toss it" portion of Patty Cake! (we are still working on "rolling" it.) She does it all the time and thinks she is pretty cool! However, do you think she would let me get a good shot of her on the video? Nope!

Here is the best I have been able to capture...

the "pat-a-cake"

and the "toss it"...

This gives you the gist that yes, she can toss it. However, she usually really "tosses it!" with her head flying back and all. Maybe one day she will do for the cameras!

Gabbie's Partner in Crime

Gabbie and her partner in crime, Tristan!

We are incredibly lucky to have a WONDERFUL babysitter to watch Gabbie while Kiley and I both work. In fact, I don't think "babysitter" is really the appropriate term to call Jodi as I swear she loves Gabbie and Tristan as much as her own kids.

She has a bunch of kids that come both before and after school, but for the bulk of the day, she only has two... Gabbie and Tristan.

Tristan is about 9 months older than Gabbie, but they are partners in crime! The read books together, play, tease each other and love each other. Gabbie gets very excited when she sees Tristan or Jodi!

Jodi is wonderful and Kiley and I remind each other on a daily basis how lucky we are to have her watch our little Gabbie.

Gabbie's First Word

Gabbie has said dadadadada and mamama for a while now. However, I am not convinced she knows what they mean. However, I do believe her first word, that she can actually correspond the word to the meaning, is HI!

Here she is in action....

Here is just some random fun and cuteness that also occurred today...

Now, you may be looking at these photo's thinking that the white trash tail is back. But you are wrong, it isn't. It is just that my daughter has a lovely calic that causes her hair to spin into a little tail. If you brush it out, it is actually even.

We finally got our swinging stair gate in place. Gabbie has been quite fascinated with it! She likes to look for her daddy. This is the cute sight he gets when he is headed upstairs!

We thought this was just to funny not to share! She is a little ham!
