Dog Days of Summer

I love watching your sisters begin to include you in whatever they are doing! Here are just a few of my favorite moments of you and your sisters this summer:

 

These are the moments that I want to freeze in my mind forever.

All to Yourself

This weekend you, Mommy, and Daddy went on a trip to South Bend, Indiana to look for a new house. We didn't find the right one for our family yet, but I don't think you cared much. You were just soaking up all of the individual attention you were getting since you had the two of us all to yourself!

We loved our alone time with you too, Gabby-goo!

T-minus Two Months

I can't believe there are only two months until your first birthday! Where is the time going? You are still the sweetest, most relaxed baby out there. Just look at that face! (You look a lot like your daddy here too.)

I know everyone says you should really be crawling by now, but you actually kind of do in your own way. You've definitely got the rolling around thing down. But instead of crawling, you get down on all fours, with one leg still kind of underneath you, and you scoot on your butt until you get close enough to whatever you're after...then you  slide down onto your belly and stretch yourself out as far as possible until you reach the prized toy. You definitely go to many lengths not to crawl!

You have plenty of other amazing talents though. You do the splits without even thinking about it! Maybe we have a gymnast in the making? Your Aunt Jess and my cousin Derek would be so proud.

You've got three teeth on the bottom and one on top. I think another one is thinking about coming through on the top any day now too.

You are such a happy, social little girl. You love to smile and wave hello and goodbye to everyone you meet. You are an adorably squeezable little cuddler too, I can't get enough of you!

I mean, just look at this sweet, innocent little face? I hope you stay as angelic as you look, little Gabrielle.

First Fourth of July

Today we all donned red, white and blue to celebrate the Fourth of July. You had a cute little onesie with a heart-shaped flag that appropriately said "Daddy's American Beauty."

This Fourth of July was a special one for us because the WHOLE Briggs family actually got to spend it together! Grandma and Grandpa were over the moon to have all of their grandchildren playing together up at their cottage.

You enjoyed watching them play in Sapphire Lake from Daddy's arms, waving at and clapping for them the whole time.

You had fun playing with your Uncle Lucas too...look at that face! I think he was having just as much fun as you were.

While together, we celebrated Sage's first birthday too. She's just over two months older than you! Can you believe we'll be celebrating your first birthday soon??

Happy Fourth of July, little firecracker!
