Gabi Lately...

HELPING MOM:

Gabi has loved being more involved at home, she loves to be up on the counter helping me cook dinner or what ever it is I'm doing. I have to remember that she needs the stimulation and she needs to be shown these things. Its much faster to just do it myself but she loves it when I show her new things. this day I gave her a few bowls a whisk and some M&Ms and she was in heaven stirring them up and sneaking a few in between!  She loved helping me make smoothies. She helps poor in the ingredients and then puts her hand on the blender to feel the vibration and giggles away!

Gabi also loves the Laundry she will play in a laundry pile almost more than anything! she sits right next to me as i fold and shakes them, holds them over her head and of course throws them all over the room. she hasn't figured out the part that you don't touch the folded clothes yet and she gets a little angry when her pile is dwindling and i wont let her touch the newly folded ones!

BOOKS:

Gabi's newest love is books! she looks at books all day long. She will bring me new ones to read over and over but she has a select few that are her favorites. Most of them have Mickey mouse on them!

She has quite a few look and find books that she is slowly getting the concept of and can usually always point to characters in the books when I name them. she loves to kiss mickey when she shes him on a page and points him out the best.

Usually Gabi isn't patient enough to sit on your lap and actually let you read the story. We have to simplify them and make it up as we go cause she gets frustrated that we are taking too long to turn the page.

MESSES:

This girl LOVES to make a mess! She will pull out anything she can get her hands on, here are a few pictures of her favorites!

Her pants are always all over my house!

She got a hold of a box of tissues at Grandmas ans ripped the entire box apart. She loves to pull out her wipes and unroll the toilet paper too.

The paper plate and plastic utensils are always a big hit too, not sure how safe plastic knives are but she loves to play with them!

Tupperware = trip hazards all over the house!

They are way more fun than any toy I could buy for her!

This is a typical mess left multiple times a day... especially if she sees me putting it away! Just know if you ever show up at my house unannounced it will be a disaster! I do my best to keep on top of things but it gets really tedious and old after you do it 20 times a day! Sometimes its just not worth it until this little one is snug in her bed, and lets be honest it doesn't always get done even then! She wears me out!

BATH TIME:

Gabi always love a good bath. This one she is in Grandmas big tub. She can see her TV from the tub and especially loves watching Mickey Mouse as she baths! Talk about spoiled!

Sometimes those bubbles are just too tempting and the excitement cant wait so bath time with PJ's doesn't sound too bad! She was shocked at first...

Then ecstatic because she realized that she actually got in all by herself!

Whoops Mom! Silly Kid

MAMMA'S GIRL:

The past few months Gabi has grown to be more attached to me and when I have to leave her to go to work she doesn't want to let go. It makes it extremely hard to leave her. I know that she has a great time with Grandma but it melts my heart and makes me feel a little guilty for having to leave her.

I will take her snuggles any day and its worth every second that I am late for work!  ;)

MICKEY MOUSE:

This girl LOVES her some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! I think I have seen every episode about 20 times! I may be brainwashing her a bit but I love that she loves it! It makes it that much more exciting to take her to Disneyland in September!

This is her Favorite spot to watch TV. Her favorite is Mickey Mouse but Signing Time and the Ellen Show are close seconds! I love that she will watch Ellen with me every day, we laugh and clap and dance and its adorable. I have tried getting it on video to send to Ellen herself but i never get it good enough it is much cuter in person. I know that Ellen would love her though!

FUNNY FACES:

Gabi has been really into imitating lately and she will try to copy any faces you make at her. This is her fishy face!

This picture cracks me up! i flipped the camera on my phone so she could see herself and she kept making funny faces at herself. She looks scared that her pigtail is missing! ha ha!

 

Showing her Teeth!

Her fishy face has turned into fishy kisses!

JUST BECAUSE SHE'S CUTE:

I love this picture, she has princess hands!

I could just eat her cute little body! This is her new swimming suit I had to see it on!

Getting so big!

She is such a little tease and grabs her legs like this so I cant put her pants on her! Flexible little monkey! Cracks me up!

She loves to go up and down the stairs, she also loves to walk by herself any where we go. She hasn't go the concept of staying with mom yet. she just wants to go where she wants as fast as she can with not help. Try and hold her hand and she sits on the floor until you let go! She is very independent and wants to do it by herself!

First of all, I LOVE these child seats in public bathrooms. Gabi tends to want to crawl all over the floor or under the door and it always stresses me out. They may not be the most sanitary thing but at least she has to sit in one place and I don't have to worry about her getting away from me. She looks so cute in this picture and I have no shame admitting that I was using the bathroom when I took it! If your kid looked this cute sitting there you would do the same thing admit it! ;)  I can't  Believe that she is turning two in less than two weeks! Blows my Mind! Why do they have to grow up so fast!
