Gabrielle "Elle" is a BIG girl!!

As of November 22, Gabrielle is on the run...literally! She finally started walking. She had been taking steps weeks before, but she finally built up enough courage to walk off on her own. She is so proud of herself. She can't help but smile everywhere she goes. I love it when babies first start walking, they are so stinking cute. She reminds me of a little monkey, her arms are up in the air, her belly sticks out and her legs flop. She is also talking up a storm. My favorite word that she says is obviously mommy! There is nothing sweeter than when your baby says your name for the first time and she knows what she is saying. When you walk into the room and she smiles at you and says mommy!! There's nothing like it.

Not to be outdone, Isabella has been pouring on the sweetness too. Just yesterday she sits on my lap facing towards me and says, "mommy, you're my best friend, give me a hug." I, of coarse hug her and kiss her face a dozen times. She then told me to put my cheeks in her hands, and then gave me the biggest kiss and told me she loves me! I melted into a big puddle of goo. The good Lord has blessed Mike and I with the sweetest little girls.
