March Madness

It's been a crazy few weeks! We've tried a whole bunch of new foods and grew another tooth! Gabrielle now has 4 up top, and two on the bottom. She can officially chew! She loves crapes and can't get enough of them! Pancakes too...especially when she gets to make them with daddy in the morning!

Daryl has been working in Whistler alot, if you can call what he's been doing work. Sounds like lots of fun to me - snowshoeing, sleddin', hiking, setting off avalanches and playing in the snow. Tough - but somebody's got to do it!We're gearing up for Gabrielle's 1st birthday! In less than a month, our little baby will be a year old - I just can't believe how fast the time has gone. She is so active and really starting to communicate. She signs a few things now, and understands so much of what we ask her. She loves her baths - now that we have more toys! There almost isn't enough room for her in the bath anymore!

With the spring time weather fast approaching, we've been going for lots of walk and spending time outside watching the wind in the trees and the birds fly overhead. She always hears the planes before I do and looks up to spot them. It's amazing how fast they learn!

Lately, she's been playing a new game -she will crawl around me when I'm sitting on the floor, sneak up behind me and "scare" me. I pretend to be terrified, and she LOVES IT! It is so funny to hear her squeal with delight! Gabrielle also loves to be chased around the kitchen.We're heading to Toronto for a few weeks and over the Easter holiday, and I can't wait to see my sister and two nephews. Colton and Mac haven't met Gabrielle yet, so I'm so excited for them to meet! It will be our last holiday before I go back to work. Sadly, I must return to my job, however, I am going back only part-time (3 days a week) so it isn't so bad. Gabrielle will be spending two days with Grand-mama, and the third at a local daycare - which looks awesome! I wish I was a kid again! I hope she likes it too. I know that she and my mom will have lots of fun together! We've already talked about having lunch dates together down at the park near my office and going for walks in the summer. It will be such a special bonding time for them.

More news to follow...have a wonderful Spring!
