Happy Belated Valentines - Gaby is 10 weeks old!

It's been quite a while since our last posting (my apologies) but we have some great photos to share so hopefully you all will forgive me! Just to update Gaby's stats...she had her two-month check up last week. The pediatrician gave her a thorough physical and she passed with flying colors! She also got three shots and an oral vaccine - she was a trooper (although daddy had to sit down and hold my hand during her shots!). Gaby weighed in at a whopping 11 lbs, 13 1/4 oz and 22 1/2 inches long. She has almost doubled her birth weight and grown 3 1/2 inches putting her in the 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height as compared to other girls her age. By now, she's climbed past the 12 lb mark as she continues to gain more than an ounce a day!


First, Gaby would like to wish you all a happy belated Valentine's Day - check out her adorable outfit she wore especially for the day. It was a gift from our friends, the Moss family, which we got at Gaby's welcoming party (see more about that below).

Happy V-day!

We also got some adorable pajamas from our friend "Nana" Ferne - Ferne collects all things froggy - so of course, she shared her love of frogs with Gaby! These pajamas come complete with a really cute ruffle on the butt (mommy is nuts for ruffles on the butt)!

Rrrrriiiibbbbbiiittttt!!!!

So I mentioned above that we had a little welcoming party for Gaby - it was on her two-month birthday (February 8th) and was hosted by my dearest friends, Wendy and Gayle. The photo below shows the hostesses with the "mostest", Gabriela, myself, and DJ (Gayle's son ~5 months old). DJ is a cute little guy - very active and happy - and possibly our future son-in-law!

The cake was adorable - a cupcake cake with awesome frosting!


"Welcome Gabriela!"

The party theme was all about the pink, red, and white in honor of the upcoming Valentine's Day and all the party guests were invited to take a bag of candy from the "candy bar" before they left. I was particularly fond of the "cupid corn" - a pink, red, and white version of candy corn!

Yumm...pretty candy...

Gaby wore a red and white outfit to match the theme - here's the only picture I have of her in the outfit before we had to change it (don't ask me why we had to change her outfit...).

Speaking of Gaby's boyfriends, she does have a couple other suitors (sorry DJ!). Below are pictures of Gaby and Jackson and Nicholas. Jackson is 9 days younger than Gaby and Nicholas is 10 days younger (just like her mommy, Gaby likes younger men!).

Gaby and Jackson's "playdate"!


Nicholas and Gaby...

We've written previously about Mr. Quackers, Gaby's faithful friend and pacifier. We have some concerns about Mr. Quackers now - he seems to be "quacking up" a bit and we found him recently "attacking" Gaby in her sleep. Not sure how to break the news to Gaby...

Oh Mr. Quackers - bad boy!

Here are a couple photos of a very cool and contemplative Gabriela. I've always been fascinated by the number of clothing items Gaby owns with pockets - it's a mystery as to why an infant neeeds them! I asked around and my Uncle Steve suggested that they have pockets to store their loose change - maybe that's true...

Gaby is digging for loose change...

And finally, the piece d'resistance...

Check out that belly!

Stay tuned for more...
