Gaby's Notes

Gaby loves to write notes on her dry erase board. How cute is she??

The Boys

Mila is starting to take an interest in the boys and they aren't too sure how they like that! No seriously, they are actually very good with her and tolerate her yanking their ears or pulling their hair or trying to catch them. They are so sweet :)

Bridgepoint Kinder Round Up

Next year, Gaby will be attending Bridgepoint Elementary. Today was their Kinder Round Up where we got to visit the campus and show the kids their classrooms, cafeteria, library and they even got a mini ride on the big yellow school bus. Needless to say, Gaby was super excited to be there and loved all the new things about her future school. Here are a few pics....

Genetics

Mila has an AWESOME scowl. 

And she inherited it from the master :)

Bathtime Together!

Mila is big enough now to take baths with Gaby!! 

And Gaby just loooves having the company! 

You can tell Mila feels like a big girl now that she can join her sissy :) 

They are too cute!

Happy Easter!

San Antonio

Gaby, Byron and I took a mini vacation taking advantage of Byron having Good Friday off. We left sweet Mila in Austin with my parents and headed to The Hyatt Hill Country. We hung out by the pool all day and ate some great food! Saturday we headed to the San Antonio Zoo to check out the animals and then were back home for Easter. We had a nice, relaxing time :)

Swing!

Mila's first time on a swing!

She giggled and laughed the whole time!

She loved it!!

Jungle Jumper Fun

Cousin Camp

Spring Break was March 12-16 this year. Mimi & Papa were nice enough to conduct "Cousin Camp" again, so Gaby and Mia went off together for a week of fun at the farm! I know these memories are just priceless!! Here are some long overdue pictures...

Cousin Camp

Gaby Reading-5 yrs old

Reading!

Gaby has learned to read so well this year! She loves reading and does it any chance she can get. It's pretty amazing to hear her from the back seat of the car reading all the street signs she sees. It must be really incredible to all of a sudden be able to read the signs you've been seeing all of these years. The really neat thing is that because of her school, she can read in both English and Spanish. The other great part is that now she reads her bedtime stories to us! We are so proud of her :)

Bluebonnets!!

Spring has sprung in Austin!! The blueblonnets are out in full force thankfully after all the rain we've been getting this past month. So naturally, I had to take my beautiful girls out to snap a few shots....

Now, we are in trouble....

Our fearless little girl is now trying to climb up the stairs any chance she can get! Learning the word "NO!" is our next lesson, don't you think?? Little stinker :)

Natural Progression

I guess the natural progression from crawling is pulling up to standing. Oh boy, this little girl is hitting her milestones FAST!!! Mila loves to stand now and especially enjoys standing up in her crib. Occasionally, she has trouble getting back down. That doesn't bode so well when it's the middle of the night ;)

Mila Crawling at 6.5 months!

Kite Festival 2012

Our most favorite day of the year was today! The annual Zilker Park Kite Festival. The weather was picture perfect- the sky was a gorgeous blue with not a cloud in sight, the temperature was an amazing 75 degrees, and the wind was kicking up just right! As an added bonus this year, Byron was actually able to join us! (He has been on call for the past couple of years.) We enjoyed a wonderful day outside with a yummy picnic, some friends, and pretty much the majority of the Austin population.
