Last week I heard Gabi starting to scream in her room (it was late and she should have SLEEPING), and I walked in to find this....

Now the little stinker will pull herself up everytime she wakes up and doesn't know how to get down, so most of the time she'll stay there....waiting for someone to come rescue her.

We had the ladder leaned against the front of the house (to allow the pest control guys access to roof, in order to rid our attic of a family of raccoons!) for awhile and Aaron decided he needed to climb it. So OF COURSE Grandpa Arnie took him up for a jaunt around the roof. He thought it was the coolest thing ever, and he likes to see the pictures of it, AND until we took the ladder down he kept trying to go again. (Alone he would only go up 3 or 4 rungs and then get too scared to keep going and too scared to come down. Too cute!)

We finger-painted for the first time, and Aaron made hand-made birthday cards for his daddy - hand-print flowers courtesy of both kids. Gabi's was more like a paw-print.

And Miss Gabi has a tooth, as you can see here. Actually, she has 2 teeth now, but one doesn't show in pictures quite yet. She wants to eat everything we eat SO BADLY she can hardly stand it. Grandpa Arnie like to hand her just about anything and thinks it's great when she disintegrates Life cereal all of the floor and herself. It's hilarious. Really. But she'll gnaw on an apple slice or squish a banana to smithereens. Big girl.
