The Fourth of July

well, I now have a 4 1/2 year old, 2 1/2 year old and a 1 year old - Gabriella is ONE! We had a party for her on Friday at the park (post to come)... Here's our little precious princess on her special day (in appropriate attire) - and here we are doing some sparklers at her party - to tie in "Independence Day" and to celebrate Gabi -Uncle MattDaddyGabi blowing them - not sure how she knew to do that!

Gabriella:
- can climb stairs and stays away from them when she is at the top
- walks like a pro
- crouches or squats down to either pick something up or to "sit"
- can walk with things in each hand (I read once that this takes quite awhile for a child to be able to walk with something in 1 hand, let alone each hand)
- still nurses and doesn't like cows milk... gotta work on that!
- only 2 teeth still, though I think we are working on more

Happy Birthday Big Girl - you are such an angel.
