What's Happening?!

Well, well, well... Life has been crazy! This year has been a lot harder on me, and the reasoning could be a number of things. This is my third year of teaching, second year teaching as a married woman, and first year teaching as a mommy of an infant. It is very hard being away from my husband and kids all day and then being too tired to do anything with them by the time I get home. It is not fair to them, and really, it is not fair to me... but, as my mother always said, "Nobody ever said that life was fair." Gabby is doing so much, and I miss most of her firsts... Like the first time she held a bottle on her own, she was at home with Chris, and I was at work. The first time she sat up on her own, I was at work, and she was home with Chris. She loves saying "dadadadada", but when she is upset or angry she say "mamamamamama!" She knows, and loves her Buba very much. She also loves to pull his hair! If we let her, she crawls all over the place, and gets into everything, and she will pull herself into a standing position whenever she gets a chance. If we put her in the walker, she RUNS! She loves baby food, and seems to be self weaning herself from nursing (I am okay with this because I can use my breaks at work for breaks and not feeling like a dairy cow).

Christian will be 10 next Saturday and Gabriella will be 8 months old a week from Monday! Where has my baby gone? They are both growing up so fast!

Well, My mother in law and I took Gabby to The Picture People today and had her picture taken. All the pictures were AWESOME... but I only got the 2 free ones, as money is a bit tight right now. As soon as their server is up and running I can show y'all the poses we did not purchase, but for now, here are the two we did get.
