Fun facts about Gabe

Gabriele just turned 2 1/2 and her life is about to turn upside down!  I wanted to list some of the fun things that she says and does.

Knows most of her basic colors pretty well (blue-her fave!, pink, yellow, purple, green, black, white)
Good with puzzles on the iPad
Likes to watch trains, tractors and the garbage truck
Getting better with her "r's"
Loves animals
Likes to clean
Picky about which shoes to wear
Likes to do things "again" because she just likes to say it.  And she says it SO cute!
Afraid of the dark and loud noises, not a fan of bugs and bees
Likes to watch movies
Likes pop-cycles
Loves to play at playgrounds/parks
LOVES cousin Ryder
Likes coloring and painting and seems to be a natural artist

Some of my favorite things to hear her say...

"All done!"

"Light on"

"Grrreeeen"

"Ice cream"

"Again?"

"Bye-bye, worm!"

"Down me?"

"Love you!"

She is such a joy and we could not imagine life without her.  She has always had a very sweet and tender personality.  She speaks and touches so softly.  Even her high 5's are soft and gentle.  Sometimes when we are snuggling up for a nap or getting ready to go to sleep she likes to get her face close to mine and touch noses.  She will sometimes play with my hair a little or just softly touch my face.  I can't wait to see her as a big sister sharing this tender sweetness.  We are excited for her to have a built in friend because she adores other kids so much.  She likes to share in everything she is doing.  She wants Mom and/or Dad right there with her to enjoy whatever is making her so happy.  We love you, baby Gabe!
