New Hobbies

Gabbie has found some new interests recently...

Here she is playing with a ball that I had from teaching. She can totally pick the thing up with one hand and palm it (of course it is one of those squishy balls so that's not really all that hard).

Our next basketball star...

Another new adventure is getting hosed down in the sink after eating. It is much easier to do this lately than get her to hold still so we can clean her up. Unfortunately, she gets all wet when Daddy does it because he uses the sprayer and Mom just sticks her hands under the faucet to clean. But we can all tell from these pictures which one she likes the best...

Doing a piggy back ride with daddy....she loves these. Whenever we put her on our back for a ride, she thinks its so funny and wants us to go super fast. While we run down the hall with her on our back, she giggles her head off and then tells us to 'go' when we stop (this wears you out after running up and down the hall a few times with 20+ pounds bouncing on your back, or we are just really out of shape).

Gabbie rocking out...she's actually just playing with the headphones.

A new treat...Mom got a bag of candy from her Visiting Teachers and Gabbie wanted to have a taste of some of it. This is probably completely against good oral hygiene/care but I just had to let her have a small taste. She tried to suck the whole thing into her mouth. It was very funny to watch because she looked like she was trying to suck the last drop out of her sippy cup or bottle.

And finally, a fun picture with Gabbie showing everyone her two teeth. She has a super strong bite and if she gets your fingers in her mouth, beware!

I sure love introducing her to all these new things and getting to watch as she gets so much enjoyment out of such small things.
