There isn’t a day that goes by where Gabi doesn’t amaze us with something so small that we take it for granted. this past week it is sitting and her instance that she sit for every occasion, that is when she isn’t demanding that we help her practice her standing. On this day we were rushing, as usual, to get everything packed up to take her out for breakfast at our favorite local eatery, and she demanded that she get seated in a place where she can see all of the activity from Peri running around to Management stuffing extra diapers and bottles into her bag–this is what she is looking at in this picture.

It has only been a little over twelve weeks since she was born and was just this tiny little bundle of pinkness that terrified me to my core. Now she is a little busy body and chatterbox that offers a play-by-play of everything in her endearing coos and giggles. She has found her grasp and delights in pulling earlobes and beards as well as tugging on lips and squealing when she sees your teeth. Everything is a source of joy and mirth to Gabi.

This summer we are looking forward to spending more time walking about town with Peri and Gabi–she loves being outside squinting up at the sun and darting her tongue out quickly to taste the air when a breeze floats by. I am looking forward to setting her down on the playing fields near our house one warm spring day and watching her explore the world. Her curiosity and excitement is truly contagious.
