Da Da

Just a really quick update about Gabbie....She said her first word this morning as we were getting ready for church. We were playing on the bed and she started to do her 'talking' so I helped her along by saying 'da da' over and over again until she said it herself. It was a great feeling to actually be there for her first word. Kyle didn't believe that she had said it so we kept practicing until he heard her while taking a shower. When we tried to get her to say it with him in the room she got shy and kept turning her head to the side and laughing. She is growing up way too fast!

At her 6 month check-up she weighed 19 pounds and was 29 inches long. She is flipping over like crazy now that we have carpet everywhere instead of hard wood floors. Her new favorite thing to do is flip over onto her back then back to her belly over and over again until she reaches what she wants. Instead of trying to crawl, she will also lay on her back and push her feet into the floor so she scoots across the floor. It's fun to watch.

Awesome. it's the best when they start to say new words! I don't know why dada is always the first... it's just not fair.

She is officially only a pound lighter than Graham. That's just nuts. :)

You're little girl is so stinking cute! And I love the name Gabriella! I have wanted to name a child that for a while. I first have to get married and have a child though. haha. It was fun reading some of your blog. I'll probably be back looking at it later.
