"2 minutes"

Birthday Girl!



Gabriella is 2 years old but when you ask her she says "2 minutes" ( : I can't believe how fast time has gone by. She is the funnest little girl and brings her mom and dad such joy! She has the amazing ability to brighten the day of just about everyone she comes in contact with. Those of you who know her know she never slows down, she's always on the move, and is usually talking. When she is happiest she usually sings or dances or both. Some the cutest things she has been saying lately are:

-"I wanna slide that one!" when she sees a slide or she'll switch it up depending on what she sees "I wanna swing that one!" or her newest "I wanna cycle that one" when she sees a bike (because she calls all motorcycles and bikes- cycles.
- She can sing the Plain White T's song "1,2,3,4"
- She dances and sings "So dis is love, ta da da, so dis is love," she loves Cinderella.
-Counts to 10 but skips 4.

Here is how she spent her 2nd birthday doing all of the things she loves.
The day started with watching a little Cinderella, it was the first thing she asked for even before breakfast I couldn't tell her no- it was her birthday!
Then she played outside and watered the swings and slide, all the while wearing the hood from her coat, I don't know why! But I love the picture from behind ( :

She got the wheel barrow as an early birthday present last week. We learned from Christmas she can only enjoy a few presents at a time.
Then she had fun with my makeup!
Played with more of her hats!
Then it was party time! Here is the caterpillar cupcake cake I made with Luke's help ( :
She loved her Cinderella balloons for Grandma and Papa Williams and so did Parker!
She had been practicing blowing but still needed a little help when it came time!
Grandma and Papa Talley gave her a cool basketball hoop which she loved! She gets really excited whenever she sees someone playing basketball and always wants to play, so it was perfect!

We got her a bike which we were pretty sure she would love, I think she did.
She got so excited when our families started coming to our house, you'd think we never get visitors! Here is Gabrie with some of her cousins: Caleb, Sydney and Aunt Connie.

Kiley and Dianne!
Daddy, Mommy, and Gabrie!

Happy Birthday to Gabrie! I can't believe she's already 2! It just seems like yesterday that you were pregnant with her and we were all in Outreach. It looks like it was a fun-filled day. Good job on her caterpillar cup-cake cake. It looks so cute!

2 minutes-that's so cute! I don't blame her for skipping four, I've never liked that one either! Hehehehe I wish I could have been there. I loved that pic of her wearing just her hood.

Happy Birthday to Gabriel! I can't believe she is two. Mostly because I remember so distinctly when you had her and came up for classes. April and I had many discussions and how tough you were. You are my hero for doing that. I can't believe you made it through that. Sounds like she is on target for proper development.

I am so sad we are missing this cute stage. I wish I could hear her little voice. Happy Birthday Gabbers, we love you!

Okay, your cake was definitely better than mine! That cupcake idea turned out way cute :) Wish we could've come down for Gabrie's party at your house... we still need to see your house someday! Enjoy this stage while it lasts. I feel sad now that Ashy is pronouncing words correctly and not saying funny stuff as much as she use to :(
