For being only and already 2 months old Gabriella has been a very busy little lady! Mims came and stayed w/ us for my first week...along w/ Pap and Aunt Zekie coming up to visit. Then Aunt Roni, Uncle J, Jaeron, and Ty made the drive for less than 24 hours just to see our new little bundle. Then Gram came and stayed w/ us for 2 weeks, all the way from South Carolina. Lots of people to meet and places to go...It is busy, busy, busy being such an in demand baby! We are loving our little girl and living it up.
When Mims was in town we went to see Toy Story 3, shopping, and we went on tons of walks! We even had a tornado watch...we had to pack everyone up and head over to Lindsey, Marc, and Kai's house to take cover until the storm passed! It was so much fun and Mims was so helpful in that first week! Thanks so much Mims!
We celebrated Aunt Roni's 33rd birthday while she was here for such a short time...but her and the boys made up for it later. ;) Aunt Roni, Uncle J, Jaeron, and Ty came up over 4th of July weekend. We went to see fireworks and Gabriella slept through the whole show! Not so exciting for her first 4th...Oh well, there will be plenty! :) Gabriella sure does love all the attention she had been getting!
The whole family got to hang out in Saline, at the beginning of July, for the Bid for a Cure event that was hosted by the BG! While there Gabriella was showered w/ attention from everyone. She got to meet Paws, the mascot for the Detroit Tigers and Brandon Inge. At the event Paul and I won tickets to the Toledo Mud Hens and Lansing Lugnut's. More first for our baby girl to enjoy w/ us!
Then, Gram came and stayed for 2 weeks and we did lots of fun things and met lots of friends and family! She too was fantastic to have around to lighten the load on both Paul and I! We went to a Lansing Lugnut's game and Gram watched Gabriella (quality Gram/baby time) while Paul and I went out for our very first date night! Thanks again Gram!
We went to Gabriella's first birthday party for Chole's (who was turning 2) which was super cute @ Melissa townhouse! Gabriella helped w/ her first yard sale that we had @ the house...along w/ Aunt Roni and the boys...they came up and helped watched Gabriella while Paul and I set up and tore down each night! She also got her first taste of the water park w/ her cousins and Auntie @ Rolling Hills!
Gabriella loves going for car rides. Especially rides into the BG to visit Daddy or go shopping w/ Mommy, which we do OFTEN.
We loved having friends and family come to visit and stay but we sure were happy to have our Baby Girl all to ourselves for a few weeks and enjoy our new family!
Gabriella is sleeping, on average, 6 hours a night, rolling over, holding her head up for long periods of time, laughing, making the cutest cooing noises, smiling TONS, and discovering that it is just as good to have her thumb in her mouth than anything else. If she can't quite get her thumb in...any part of her hand will do just fine! Most importantly Gabriella is making us both happier than we ever could have thought we can be! We can't wait to see what month 2-3 will bring!!! :)
Love,
Paul, Nikki & Gabriella xoxoxoxoxoxo
