Its been a while!

Sitting at the table with her family on Thanksgiving!

Hi Everyone! Dan and I have not gotten internet hooked up in the new house yet & are dying without it! I am babysitting (Kids are asleep) and thought I would do a little update on what we have been up to :)

Thanksgiving was wonderful. We had it at our new house this year. It was the first time I have hosted and thanks to help from my Mom and Aunt Monica the dinner was phenomenal. Gabrielle tried her first taste of sweet potato & loved it.


We LOVE our new house. It is on a private street in the center of Raleigh and convenient to just about everything. We attended a neighborhood Christmas party today and got a chance to meet some of our neighbors. Every flocked to Gabby, which may have been our plan to make conversation ;)

On the way to the party!

Gabby is 4 1/2 months tomorrow! We absolutely LOVE being parents!  She is been hitting some big milestones and we are proud of her.. She rolled over for the first time in month 2, she is chewing her toes and hands, smiling, laughing, reaching for toys and putting them in no other than her mouth! My absolute favorite thing she does now is reaches for me when I go to pick her up. Melts my heart every time :) Two weeks ago when G hit 4 months we started introducing her to baby food. Originally, we wanted to wait as long as we could but with her being the small fry that she is, we were worried about her gaining enough weight and wanted to make sure she was gaining. So far she has tried bananas, pears, peaches, green beans, peas, squash, cereal, & carrots!! Here is a video of Gabby trying food for the first time.. Bon apetite!
