SICK GABBY

Sick baby - oh so tired
She was so restless and this is how she finally fell asleep

Yummy blueberries

Love that face

Caroline loves to do "her" makeup while I am doing mine

Oh no, we are in so much trouble with this little beauty queen

Gabriella is home sick today with mommy. She has a nasty cold and is having trouble breathing so I thought she could use some extra kisses and hugs today. Take a look at the picture of her finally falling asleep last night in her crib - she was so tired - poor little thing. She only lasted about an hour in her crib then daddy was booted to the couch and she got in bed with mommy.

We are looking forward to Halloween. Gabriella is a pumpkin and Caroline is a bumble bee. We will take lots of pictures. Nonnie, Aunt Amy and Uncle Brian will come over for trick-or-treating. Should be a fun night.

Not much else new is going on - we are getting so excited for our trip home to KC for Thanksgiving.

Happy Halloween to everyone.

OUR LITTLE PUMPKINS

OMG, she loved this teething biscuit - this is the first time I gave her one.
Enough with the pumpkins mom

Gabriella's first pumpkin patch visit - she will be back next year

Last weekend we went to Schnepf Farms in Queen Creek, Arizona. We did this last year with Caroline and it will now be a yearly tradition.

We had so much fun.

Not much else new going on except our little Gabriella pulled herself to standing - yeah, that's right, not quite 7 months old (will be this Saturday) and she wants to stand. Nonnie was babysitting so I did not see it happen though I saw her after she got to her feet. She pulled herself up on her activity cube that my friend Kelley got Caroline for her first birthday. Both the girls love this activity cube and Gabby has found that it is stable enough to pull herself up. We are in so much trouble with her - she wants to do everything.

We are good and looking forward to going home to KC for Thanksgiving and being with Junior's family - can't wait for all the girls to be together. Caroline and Gabriella will have so much fun with their 6 girls neices in KC. Abuela will love having all her granddaughters together - we plan on having family pics taken.

Love to all. BTW, I finally joined Facebook so you can look there for pics too though I will continue to update the blog because I want this for the girls someday.

GOTCHA DAY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Here I go with my new monkey "Boots"
Wow, I'm overwhelmed

Giving Boots her 5th bath

We love you Caroline

Gabriella liked Build A Bear too

Look at me - I can sit up by myself

Love this pic - Caroline always stands there while I am changing and dressing Gabriella.

Yesterday, October 1st was our 2 year Gotcha Day anniversary. What a special day! Two wonderful years with my baby girl. I can't believe it.

Caroline and Gabriella spent the day with Bapa and Nana since they babysit for them on Thursday's but we all went to the mall last night for dinner and Build A Bear. Nonnie, Aunt Amy, Bapa & Nana and The Silverio's all went - we had to make it special. This was Caroline's first time at Build A Bear. She loved it - she picked a monkey and of course named it "Boots" from Dora. They have a pretend bathtub where you can wash your new animals and Caroline kept going back to this bathtub saying "monkey bath". She must have walked back to it 5 times - the monkey was very clean by the time we left.

Here are some pics from our special night.

We love you so much Sweet Caroline!
