Our little one has visitors every afternoon, usually in the form of Lolo and Lola, who have a new hobby in coming to see their granddaughter. As you can tell from the last post, Gramma was also here helping for the past few days. In case you've forgotten, these are my parents in the picture. Here you can see them interacting with Gabi in their customary way: My dad holding her in his lap, and my mom talking to her, mostly repeating, "Baby baby Gabi Gabi ella ella!"
I'm amused by this last bit, her redundantly repetitive nickname for our little girl. Apparently, it's a pacifying instinct to talk to babies like that. It's funny to think that people spend their lives researching things which on the surface seem so elementary. That's not to say it isn't intriguing to know why we do what we do, just funny to think about.

Lolo and lola miss their Gabi but understand her need for her Mama and Papa. She is such a calm child like her Papa was. That calm feeling is especially taken from their mother who constantly talk to them in that particular tone that imparts this feeling.
