Egg-tastic

Gabi had her first big breakfast cooked by daddy this past weekend and she loved it!  She had scrambled eggs for the first time and didn't have any reactions so that can be another added to her menu!  She devoured her entire plate of eggs, pancakes, and turkey sausage and was excited about every bite.  Later that day we went out to dinner with some friends, but before dinner we ventured out to buy Gabi's first birthday gift/s.  We weren't exactly sure what we wanted to get her, but we knew we wanted it to be pretty cool!  We went to Toys 'R Us figuring it would be pretty easy to pick something out.  Well.....not so much.  A lot of the toys for 0-2 year range are pretty similar, and though I know she would like pretty much any toy we wanted to get something special.  We finally settled on something - even though it was for ages 3+ I'm almost positive it will be fine :)

The rest of her birthday stuff is coming along.  I think I have pretty much all of the decorations and supplies.  The cakes are ordered and the menu is set....I'm just not sure if I'm going to make the food or if we'll order it.  I want to make it and Nick wants to order it if that tells you anything....haha.  I ordered her birthday shirt from an Etsy store and am anxiously awaiting its arrival :)

I put my incredible photog and design skills to work (please note heavy dollop of sarcasm) and made her birthday invitations myself.  But no really, I did make them all myself and I liked how they turned out.  I had fun doing it told Nick was pleasantly surprised that they didn't cost a fortune - actually they cost next to nothing since all we had to pay for was to print them.   

Hmm....I guess not too much else is going on.  Lately I've been working an average of two-ish days per week, but this next week I don't have anything booked so I can fully hang out with G-Force (Nick's new name for her) and enjoy the Halloween festivities.  Nick has been working with our neighbor for a few weeks on building a haunted garage so they are busy with last minute details to get that ready.  Gabi is going to stay with my parents overnight on Friday so Nick and I can go to Jason and Corinne's adult Halloween party (woot!).  And then we'll be taking Gabrielle out in all her costume glory to "trick or treat" a little bit on Sunday around our neighborhood.

Here are couple of pictures from the past few days...
