So we thought we'd share a brief photo "Year in Review." Tried to limit it to only a few pictures for each month, and as you can see it is mainly Gabbie-centric and just focuses on positive happy highlights. Enjoy!
At 5 1/2 months, her first "solid" food was Sweet Potato
Andrew's parents flew out for a visit to kick off the year.
Gabriella loved spending time with her Midwest Grandparents!
February
Sitting up without support now!
Learning to use a sippy cup.
March
Gabbie would rock back and forth on all fours, getting so close to crawling!
Happy Birthday Sarah!
When Gabbie was 7 months (!), Andrew and I finally had our first date night out.
Yes, we are pathetic.
April
Gabriella's first Easter!
Grandma & Grandpa Leopold getting some grand-girly love!
She mastered the art of crawling by 8 months...then she was constantly on the go!
May
With the warmer weather, Gabs loved to be in her swing...
...while Nikki loved that it meant we were outside playing with her!
Someone can crawl up the stairs now!
June
Happy Birthday Andrew!
July
We traveled to Bend OR (staying with friends Deb & Ben, thanks!) for
Andrew's first mountain ride Tour Des Chutes.
Gabriella is walking with help. (She'll ditch her signature "knee walk" and begin her
independent walking at the very end of the month, about 1 week before her birthday)
Cousin Olivia is born!
August
Happy 1st Birthday Gabriella!
We traveled to Whistler CA and enjoyed great hiking and views (thanks Aunt Marianne!)
September
We traveled to the Midwest to visit our family! Such a great trip, so much love!
We went to the NEW Zoo - Gabbriella's first time seeing all the zoo animals!
Gabbie LOVED spending so much time with her Midwest family.
October
GabBEE on her second Halloween (thanks for lending the costume, Cheryl!)
We traveled to Austin TX for the Livestrong Challenge.
Grandma & Grandpa Steinbrecher met us in Austin too!
Andrew and I are honored to become Olivia's Godparents!
November
Gabriella starts really getting into playing mommie to her baby dolls.
She also really gets into reading her books (often to Nikki)
December
Daddy had a little helper this year to put up the Christmas lights
(don't worry, she wasn't allowed up on the roof!)
(don't worry, she wasn't allowed up on the roof!)
Peekaboo!
Merry Christmas!
Gabbie really got into presents this year. Every time she tore through the wrapping paper (even if it was just to reveal a card board box), she would make this expression while saying "WHOA!!!!!"
