could she BE any cuter?







...I don't think so.



My crazy (but adorable) little Gabby at almost 19 months. This girl keeps me beyond busy. From climbing onto countertops, to emptying my kitchen cupboards, to eating the garbage, to scaling the walls in the bathtub, to running away from me WITHOUT her diaper on...sheesh! I'm gettin' tired just thinking about it. But we couldn't live without her, that's for sure.



Graham has been out of town for a week (only a couple days to go till he's home!) so we've been keeping busy. We went to Red Deer to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a few days and then we've just been hanging out since we got home. It's crazy how only 2 kids can keep a person so busy. Especially when one of them is a 3 year old. I was just watching Oprah and this family was on, and Kate said something that I totally did an "Amen, girlfriend". She said, "Didn't you know that 3 is the new 2???" (in reference to the terrible-two's) Okay, soooooooo true! I actually have been talking with my sister, mom and even Kim today about how Payton turned 3 and is suddenly a different person! Obviously my sweet little girl is still there, but man...she has her days and her moments, that's for darn sure. I've been reassured by many, though, that I'm not the only one. It's definately a girl thing, and a 3 year old thing to be sassy and difficult at any and all times!



Here's a little video to let you know just what I'm talking about:




(we took this video on the day that Ryan and Jody had their little girl to show them what might be in store!! I hope for their sake that Aviana isn't quite as emotional!)



Okay, Gabby needs her mama so I'm off for now. Have a great weekend!

Wait until their 6 year old hormones kick in!!! That has been fun! Girls definatly keep it interesting and I'm scared as I now have 3 of them. (who would have known this 6 years ago when I announced my first pregnancy at BDDA). remember???
PS. Your new house looks fabulous.

and that pretty much sums up why i was so nervous to ever have a girl! i am a girl, i know how emotional i am, why would i want to deal with more of that?! yup, it's gonna be fun! that's okay, osh does that kind of thing already too. he was doing the fake cry this morning until ryan asked him if he wanted to go swimming. he instantly stopped crying and got a big smile and said 'ya!'. oh these kiddies! xo, jody

Oh.My.Goodness.How I KNOW that sound. I've got 4 girls and I get the "phoney-baloney" cry all the time. What is the purpose behind it? I also said "Amen" to Kate on Oprah when she said that. Each of my girls went cuckoo when they hit 3 years - luckily my oldest 2 are calming down, so there is still hope. LOL!

Your DDs are just gorgeous, though. I"m sure being so cute has saved their lives a few times :)
