Little Lady

Gabi is quite the little lady. As you have seen, she has quite a predilection for shoes and purses, and she is generally (for her age) dainty and neat when eating (if you don't believe me, you should compare pictures of her and her friends eating cake at their joint birthday party!). I really don't remember being so girly as a kid (or even as an adult!). Here are some other lady-like pictures of our little girl.

Gabi has her first baby doll. Lola named her Ella, but Gabi usually just calls her Baby. Gabi loves to carry around her baby doll and take care of her. She gives Baby Ella lots of hugs, takes her on walks in her doll stroller, feeds her lots of bottles, and then puts her down to sleep. She is very sweet; Gabi will be a good Mama some day.













Gabi is going to be a flower girl! Here is her dress for Tita Christine's wedding next month. (It fits! Yay!) Gabi was fascinated with the flowers and ribbons on it.



We had Ava with us last week. It was so much fun to watch them interact, and the girls seemed so attached to each other. They liked having a friend to play with all day and even called each other by name. (Wow! They are learning all their playgroup friends' names now!)

Here, Gabi found her comb and was using it to brush her hair, but then she exclaimed "brush!" and pretended to brush her teeth instead. She is getting to be so silly these days!

Gabi played with Ava's doll and stroller, too.

Gabi and Ava shared a tea party. They are really developing great pretend-play skills now.





When we went to Kroger the other day, some strange animals were there raising money for the animal rescue place. One of them looked like a little deer or goat, but the lady insisted that it was an unusual kind of sheep. We also saw a rabbit, a pot-belly pig, and a puppy.





Gabi sure does love to play with her new doll!
