Johnny Jump Up FAIL

Lately I feel like Gabrielle has been bored with me. I try to keep her stimulated all day but there are times when something needs cleaning & I have to let her sit for a while. We bought a jump up for the doorway months ago & the box recommends 4 months which is only TEN days away. Scary. I decided to give it a try..tested it with a few hard tugs & set her in it. Apparently the 4 month recommendation is solely about the weight of the baby because seriously, look at her. That thing gobbled her up! She did a few bounces before her body fell back and then forward bumping her lip. Poor baby. Mommy fail. Jump up fail. See you in a few months!

First Mall Outing!

Today I was feeling brave (after Gabs 3 hour nap) and decided to venture literally across the street to the mall. Very imtimidating ;) With lights it takes 8 minutes and no lights about 2 minutes. Front the time we left the house until the time we got back there was not a fuss or tear. Success! I am sure this had to do with the billion distractions there were like.. The Christmas Section at Belk!! Yayy! Her eyes lit up so big when she saw the Christmas tree & loved watching the train go round and round in the picture. I even found an ornament with 'Gabrielle' on it, how cool is that?! Our next mall adventure WILL include Macy's Christmas section.. So much fun!

Daddy love.

Gabby has been more managable during the day, hallelujah! She still fights sleep but I came home to this from work the other day. Melted my heart. He said she started to lose it and just kept pacing with her. After 10 minutes he felt her head lay on his shoulder and she fell asleep. Sweet little baby. Feels so good to know that someone else can put her to sleep after losing it of course.. But thats not the point ;)

Happy Halloween!

We dressed Gabrielle as a puppy & spent the night at my Mom's. It was a bit on the stressful side getting out with a 3 month old but it was nice to let Gabrielle see her Mormor (my Mom) & Aunt (my Aunt.. A very wondeful Aunt & would like G to consider her an Aunt ((not Great Aunt)) & her Grandma (Dan's Mom.) They made a delicious swedish dish & we had about 20 trick or treaters. Dan & I even dressed up for the heck if it! After being put in a situation that G was fussy & tired.. & driving home would result in a scream fest & having a dentist appt near my Moms while my Aunt watched the baby.. We decided to stay. The ride home the next day was tear free after a long nap. Totally worth the other night stay IMO :)
