Who, What, Where

But no "why" yet.  That one still draws a blank most of the time when I ask Gabi why.  Gabrielle has been really into places, cities, and where everything is.  She is also into time, though not very good at it yet.  She always tries to use all sorts of time references (tonight, tomorrow, this weekend) like I went to the zoo last year when she really went last week.  She is also trying to get used to "we are leaving in 15 minutes" or "we will go at 11:00" and gauging her patience on that. 

She likes to know everyones parent's names....we had some new friends over for dinner and in the middle of it Gabs yells across the table "Michelle, what your mommy called??" haha.  She is also very into girls....older girls.  There was a 1.5 year old in the waiting room at my OB appointment and she came over to show Gabrielle a picture.  I said oh isn't that pretty Gabs, and Gabi stared blankly at it and said "no" and then kept on what she was doing.  Any older girls, from kids to teenagers to women she likes a lot.  She'll get all excited and say "she a girl like us mom". 

I was annoyed with Nick and all of a sudden Gabi yells at him "you're makin us nuts!!"

And she told Nick to "shut up" the other day.  But he kind of deserved it.  Her bottom was itching her.....she was obviously having an issue and wasn't very happy about Nick.  Instead of trying to help her Nick thought it would be better to make fun of her and saying she has warts on her butt.  Gabs was getting pretty annoyed with him and finally told him to shut up!!  My my.....Nick really wasn't being very nice so we had a quick talk about even if someone isn't being very nice to you, it isn't ok to tell them to shut up....say be quiet please.  Haven't heard it since so hopefully she got it ;)

"Mommy you have your swimsuit on for your yogurt class?" Nope....I have my sports bra on [under a tank] for my yoga class.  But close.


My back was really sore the other day and I was laying on the couch (gasp) and Gabi was worried what was wrong.  I told her my back hurt and she jumped up and ran upstairs saying "I can help!  Yellow B make it feel better!!".  She came back down with her beloved yellow B and put it on my back.  So sweet.  I told her she was such a good doctor, but then she had to to "check my ears" too....so the blanket got shoved in my ears to see if they were healthy.  They were.  Thank goodness.  But now anytime someone asks how I'm feeling Gabs pipes up, rubs my back, and says mommy's back hurts. 

Gabrielle is really stuck on the fact that cousin Isaiah's arms were all "twisted" and loves to tell people "Isaiah's arms not twisted anymore".  That's pretty much her main interested in him.  And she tells me "Isaiah was fussin' in his car seat at the zoo".

She really wanted to dress up in hats the other day......

Her first smiley face!  Tilt your head to the right.....Blogger must think my kid's smiley face is crooked  because it insists on uploading this way....
