What are pictures worth?




Ok, so I don't have a lot to say about today. It was a beautiful day here in Bogota and the weather was very comfortable as it is every single day and we had a fabulous time with Gabriela. Monica and cousin Rosario spent some time this afternoon at a relative of Rosario's house while I was planning on going, I had to catch up on some of my work back home. At the house, Gabriela discovered her new best friend.... a very hard breadstick. She can hold it, eat it, and it feels great on her painful gums. We will be buying some first thing in the morning.

I'm going to let the photos do the rest of the talking for tonight, so good night or good morning when you read this and we hope that everyone is doing well and we look forward to when we are able to see everyone again and you all can meet our little angel. There are two photos of Gabriela sitting in Monica's lap this morning and one with her best friend the bread stick. She is getting so much better as smiling even with the little red light just before the camera flashes and of course anytime we can catch her sticking her tounge out, we have to post one of those!

    Of course she's smiling...she has two of the best parents in the world. She's so beautiful and I've seriously made it my morning routine to log on and see how she (and you two) are doing. I can't wait till you all come back safe and sound so I can finally meet her. John...please give Mon and the baby a big hug and kiss for me.

    Take Care,
    Linda

    She really is adorable! I look forward to new pictures each morning. I hope you plan to print these up and turn them into a baby book for her to read in the future - it will really make a great gift for Gabriela one day.

    Love,
    Tia Beth

    Amazing! She is growing so fast! I'm glad to see that teether is helping out. We are hoping paperwork is close to finished. We can't wait to see Gabriela. You both look very much the happy parents. That tongue shot is priceless!
