Guess what? B took note this morning that G has retained yet another trait of her dear old dad. Apparently, she is not showing much of a neck. Hmm. I'm sure this will change in time, but for mow I take pride in my girl taking after her pops.
In other news, G has graduated from her newborn diapers....into SIZE 1!!! This is indeed quite an achievement. Not to mention, we'll be going through a lot more diaper pails!!!
This evening I was doing my good dad thing, and I was giving the little spiked hair smunchkin a hefty burping session, after her bottle. All of the sudden she started going bonkers. There I was holding her over my right shoulder and "shooshing" in her ear, as I gingerly padded her back to ward off the spit-up forces... She started to get frantic, then began using her hands and head to get right in my face as if to say..."Hey, Dad!!! I don't need burping!!! Something else is wrong!!!" But as she man-handled my head and glasses, all I could do was laugh and smile. I got tingles up the back of my neck, when I started to understand that my little girl was trying to communicate with me. Then I realized that she was still screaming her lungs out - in my face.
So I changed her diaper.
Ok, y'all. You're right. There haven't been pictures in a while. Well now they're here... You'll find a link to lots and lots of pictures below.
Friday, Gabby and B did visit me at work. We had a nice lunch at Panera. Several folks peeked at our hero...but I was able to keep the paparazzi away. Especially once I declared that G had a poopy diaper...and I proceeded to change it in the Men's room. What a great dad!
Saturday, We started out around 11:30am in rain. We were heading south to Gabby's Papa's birthday dinner. Soon after we got on our way, the snow began to fall...and fall... Eventually we made it to Sharon, to visit with some of Gabby's cousins on the way down.
This afternoon, I had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy some original music performed by Gabby.
Auntie Sara and Uncle Shaun enjoyed miss Gabby's company as well.
And here's the picture link!
I'll post opictures this weekend, but I wanted to give y'all an update until then. Gabby's been smiling more and more over the past week. She'll smile for me and she'll smile for you. She gives em out like they're going out of style.
Today, if all goes well, lil miss G wil be visiting me at work. That'll be a super treat. I'll let you know how it goes.
Last note, Gabby's starting to develop a little buddha belly like I had when I was a baby. She's a cutie, but I hope she doesn't resemble my baby years too much...after all I've still got the belly!!
Later!
Well, it looks like Gabby's stroll is still on hold. As I type this, we are getting another 3-6 inches. Hmmph.
Today, Gabby and her Mom started a weekly group with other new Moms and babies. I understand that G was a teacher's pet - showing off for all the other babies. It figures. Later, G and the gang hunkered down for some good eats in her first long-form public performance at Bertucci's with the rest of the group. B tells me that Gabby was on her best behavior for the entire meal. Outstanding!!!
Now only if I can figure out how to get her into her crib without waking her up...
Here's some pictures!
Hey there y'all. Well we've got a good post for you. Thanks for waiting patiently. Today is Saturday. Gabby just got home from a large social gathering. She went to the movies with her friends. They saw "The Notebook." There were at least 13 other babies hanging out with Gabby, and she was definitely the star. I didn't quite realize it, until tonight - but our sweet Gabby is not your average baby. And that's not only because she's my daughter. All the other babies had cute chubby bodies and round bald heads. Gabby is still somewhat dainty, and has a head of hair like nobody's bidness. She's a one of a kind, and I love her.
Earlier today, she was visited by Nancy and her Saba...it had been a few weeks, and Gabby certainly missed the attention.
Friday, Gabby enjoyed a nice long visit with her Bobie. Bobie even got a chance to babysit our hero while B went to the grocery store. Now isn't that special?
This evening, Babci is once again visiting us. That means I get to sleep tonight. Rocking!
I suppose that's about it for now. Only a couple of more things...
After much delay, I've posted new pictures. Lucky you. In the interest of maintaining my sanity, I've decided to no longer keep a new folder for each day - but you'll still get your pictures, so don't fret.
I've also been toying a little bit with the audioblogger tool...so hear's a little taste...
Y'know, you've gotta have a little patience y'all. The pictures will come shortly…this weekend probably. In the meantime, let me tell you a story.
This morning, I woke up to find my darling little girl lying beside me. It was time to wake up! Time to wake up! I removed her from her bassinet/pack n' play and laid her down in the bed with her daddy. She was so sleepy. But it was time to wake up! I gently rubbed her head, and fiddled with her legs…alas she began to stir. For the next 5-10 minutes, I bore witness to a magnificent display of stretches, yawns, leg curls and extensions, arm exercises, and more. At the end, she opened her eyes.
As beautiful as she is with her eyes closed, she's still more beautiful with her eyes alert. One of these days I'll capture her smile. It's full of joy. Y'all are gonna love it. It's wicked cute.
