GABRIELLA'S WALKING

Gabriella has been so close to walkin in the past couple of weeks but has still been too scared. Well, SHE DID IT. Of course I was out of town this week and missed it but Junior sent me a video on my phone so I could see her. She takes about 5 or 6 steps at a time until she reaches her point of destination. She is so proud of herself - she has the biggest smile while she is doing it.

11 months old and walking. I put it in her baby book this morning - she turned 11 months old on Wednesday. I can't believe she will be 1 in a month. And now she is walking, what happened to my little baby?

I'm sure by the end of this weekend she will have it down to a science and will be walking all over the place. I know that we are in trouble with her - she is so determined when she wants something and is in to EVERYTHING. Caroline was not like this. I did not have to put things away and she has always left things along, not Gabriella. We need to do some new babyproofing this weekend.

We are so proud of her, both of them actually.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY





































Happy Valentine's Day to all our family and friends - those we love so much. We have a nice long weekend ahead of us - I don't work on Monday for the President's Day holiday. Tonight Papa and Nana are coming over for dinner, tomorrow I'm finally trying to get some junk out of the garage so that my car can get back in the garage so we are having a garage sale. Hot dinner date planned with my #1 Valentine (Junior of course) and Sunday we will just have a family day with the kids and their grandma's. Monday we may venture to the zoo or the train park - I'm sure they will both be packed with it being a holiday and the weather is supposed to be low 70's. It is so nice here right now - sorry for those of you getting hit by more winter weather.
















We have a new baby in the family. My sister Julie had a baby boy on Wednesday - another nephew for us - mommy and baby are both doing great. Can't wait to meet little Gunnar Gray Tangeman. Thank God for my sister Julie - without here there would only be neices for me and Junior. We have 6 neices on his side of the family, our 2 girls make 8 grandaughters for his mom. No boys to speak of. Maybe we will have to try for a boy some day......I can't believe that I just said that......
















Abuela bought the girls matching dresses for Valentine's Day - they looked so cute. You will see the dresses again in our Easter pics.
















Enjoy and hugs and kisses to all on Valentine's Day.
