22???????

How is it possible that my baby is 22 months old today??? My goodness. I am so not ready for her to be two already...... I even ordered her party supplies today. Ack...

Here are pictures from the last week or so.

Gabriella thought the pink and brown bow would look better on Bing than on her.

Pleaaaaaaaase Bing, let me put it in your hair. Don't you just love the look on his face???

She gathered up all her play hot dogs, put them in the pan and sat down to feast on them. Don't they look yummy? Now, I guarantee if they were real she wouldn't have anything to do them. She's on a meat strike these days. I have to hide any meat(or fish) in something like rice or applesauce to get her to eat it. I have no idea what happened, but one day she just refused to eat it. If I make her a grilled turkey and cheese, which used to be a favorite, she will pick the turkey out.

Gabriella is a girl on the move. I mean non-stop and that's no exaggeration. But, oddly enough, if Ferdy puts music videos on the computer, she is mesmerized. Nothing, but nothing captures her attention like this. No cartoon or children's show.... Her favorite? Old Beatles videos. She is her father's daughter. She will stand there and stare and then every so often, she dances for a bit and then goes back to her trance. She even grabs Ferdy's hand the minute he walks in the door after work and takes him back to that room because she wants him to put the videos on. The only problem? It's a total meltdown if you turn them off and take her out when it's time for dinner.

I got her this pair of sunglasses and she wore them around everywhere. She even wore them in the bath that night, but I didn't get a pic of that. I find it funny since she would have nothing to do with wearing sunglasses before. I hope this bodes well for her wearing them this spring/summer when we're outside.

She tried them upside-down for a change in the look.

Sideways.....

I thought this picture was funny. She pulled up her chair to the window and just sat looking out.

I can cook better with my shades on too.

Here Bing, try them. I swear they make everything look better!

I forgot to post these pics from a couple of weekends ago at the park.
