Goodbye Little Rock

Gabi has been smiling at us for a while now, but every day she seems to share her smile more. Gabi has also started giggling, which she does to express how happy she is when Mama walks in the room, when we pick her up, and when I am preparing to feed her. She also giggles when we play peek-a-boo, a game she is now adores. Yesterday, we discovered that she is ticklish, too.

Gabriella is getting so big now! She loves to stand up, and she is quite strong even though she hasn't yet mastered the balance required to stand on her own. Sometimes she even prefers standing to being cuddled! Her favorite is standing in front of a mirror, as Gabi likes to watch her own reflection.

Gramma requested a picture of our little baby yawning. She is quite cute when she wakes up, I must admit. Additionally, this picture illustrates how young Gabriella can curl her tongue -- a talent that her mother does not possess.

Before moving to Atlanta, Gabi made the rounds to say goodbye to everyone in Little Rock. Unfortunately, Gabi won't have as many daily visitors now, but the rumor that "a new baby is moving into that house" has already spread around the neighborhood, and thus some of our neighbors have dropped by just to meet our little girl.
