Pictures

I apologize for not posting any recent photos - I can't find the card reader, and the camera is missing too. Could be under the pile of laundry, or in the car, or with the stroller. One can never really know until one looks, but one doesn't have the time right now. I will try my very best to get some photos on this weekend, as Daryl is home and there is another set of hands to hold the wee one.
This past week was good and bad. Bad, cause Daryl was away and we really missed him, but good that we had a great time with my mom. She essentially moved in to our house and it was so much fun having a sleep-over! She came just in case Gabrielle's nights were crazy and I needed a hand - but her night times are SO GOOD that she sleeps from 6pm to usually 7am with one (sometimes 2) feedings in the night. After the feed, she is right back asleep, I hardly wake up for them! My mom doesn't hear a thing - she wakes up in the morning around 8am and comes into my room where I'm playing with Gabrielle on my bed. We're usually making faces at each other and telling the most wonderful stories! Anyhow, my mom asks if she slept through the night, cause she didn't hear a thing! Too funny. It's been so nice for the company as well. I think that has been the biggest shock is how much I miss people...I need to get out more, but with Gabrielle on a some-what schedule to try and get her to nap, I can't be out for very long. Plus, she is still kind of cranky these days.
This week had beautiful, hot weather in the Loops. Some days were too hot even for walks in the stroller after 10am! On Thursday, us 3 girls took an afternoon trip to Kelowna to visit my aunt Sylvia. We also popped in a surprised grand-ma Twyla at work...it was so funny! She actually cried! I'm glad that Daryl told us to keep it a secret. Seeing her face when she saw Gabrielle was priceless! We'll have to do that more often!
This weekend should be pretty tame. We might head to Sun Peaks for a few hours tomorrow for the wine, art and culture festival - but we'll see how the morning goes.
But I will try to get some photos up. Gabrielle has changed so much...even I notice it! She has discovered her hands and she is constantly trying to shove her whole fist into her mouth! She is swiping at dangling things and kicks at her activity gym things and shrieks with delight when they move. I really try to cherish the moments when she is like that - it makes the crabby/cranky bits pass much quicker! We will get through this...I have to remind myself that she is still just a baby - not even 3 months old yet...2 days till we hit that milestone! WOW!
