Officially a beach bum

Well it didn't take long for Gabi to fall in love with the beach. She's such a little daredevil cruising around in the sand and diving into the waves. She even enjoyed drying off in my chair :)

Gabi hits the beach

I was so excited to share the beach with Gabi. She loved the sand (ate some too) but wasn't sure about the waves. I think she could become a beach bum someday.

Bike ride

Gabi took her first bike ride in the cart while daddy rode to the beach. We found out that bike rides make her VERY sleepy. She wasn't able to enjoy the beach because we couldn't wake her up!

Kiawah here we come

After a short delay we were on our way to Kiawah. Gabi was a wonderful traveler. There were a lot of kids on the plane and of course she was the best behaved :) She didn't sleep much but enjoyed eating and looking out the window on daddy's lap.

9 month appointment

Gabi is healthy and happy after her 9 month appointment. We weighed in at 18 pounds 3 ounces (40th percentile). She's 28.75 inches long (90th percentile) and her head is still small...(25th percentile). No vaccines this time..woot! So she left without tears.

So big

As if crawling wasn't enough, Gabi now is determined to stand up. She's hasn't mastered sitting back down but hopefully that will come soon. I have a feeling she'll be walking soon and scaring her mother to death :)

Grandma Jean's Birthday

We had a fun weekend in Indy celebrating Grandma's birthday and seeing all of the Parke and Camden clan. Gabi thoroughly enjoyed playing with her cousin Lindsey and she tried to kiss or maybe eat John David :)

Father's Day

Bill's first official Father's Day was a fun celebration. Happy Father's Day to you Dad/Poppi. Glad we could celebrate together.
Happy Father's Day to Bob too...look forward to celebrating with you next weekend!

Out for a walk

We took a walk downtown this afternoon and Gabi was smiling and giggling the entire time on her daddy's shoulders. All of a sudden she got quiet and we discovered the fresh air put her to sleep.

3rd Tooth

Gabi got her 3rd tooth last night! It's just peeking through, but it's there :)

Crawling

Gabi's been mobile...getting from point A to B but now she's officially mastered crawling! She's so proud of herself. She also loves to pull herself up to standing position...I'm terrified but she's ready to take off :)

Birthday celebration

We came back to the city to celebrate my 30th in style. We had a wonderful lunch at Cru. We all enjoyed the wine...even Gabi. :)

Gabi's new room

The first room unpacked was Princess Gabi's. I just know the carpeting will get her to crawl :) She seems happy here.
