Can it really almost be a year later?

Wow so much has happened since my last post. Gabby is 11 months and I'm three weeks away from planning her first birthday party. I can't decide if I want just family to come or invite a few of her little friends. We'll see.

Time has simply flown by. And I gotta say I am really enjoying this new season of life. Dave and I stepped down as youth pastors and although we miss our students like crazy, I'm excited for new things for them and new things for my family. God has really been stirring our hearts in a direction I'm not quite ready to share yet, but He is orchestrating the right people together and it's going to be awesome!

My baby girl is turning into a little girl and it is seriously breaking my heart. She is EVERYWHERE literally. Who needs a jungle gym when you have a couple sets of stairs. And as of today she is walking!! She's been taking little steps and will walk with me holding her hand, but today was the very first time she walked across the living room. She cracks me up when she sings her little song, Yeah, yeah, yeah....yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. And Nana added a woohoo on the end and she just squeals to mimic. Gaga is a new word--not sure what it means, but it is VERY important to her. She is not a fan of sippy cups and prefers to drink out of glass cups. I think my favorite new "thing" is that instead of saying "num" when she is hungry she will click her tongue. I didn't think I would be so proud of her, but it is seriously so exciting to see all the new little things that she learns and comes up with. Life is so beautiful. I am so blessed with David and Gabby--I can't imagine life without them.

Miss independent. She is not a fan of me feeding or giving her drinks any more. She has to do it all on her own. 

Dave's random song of the day. Don't mind his made up lyrics "She don't like wearing socks, she hates them." I wish I had gotten the whole song on video, because it was pretty great. LOL
