What...11 Months Old!!!!

Well, Gabriela is now 11 months old and she is doing very well. She has discovered the joy of climbing up the stairs but not so much with the climbing down yet. She is now up to 3 intelligible words (we think); "baby", "hi", & "bye". She recently started with a couple of walker toys to help her walk a bit, but for now she is happy riding around on her car and discovering the buttons and music. And last but certainly not least, she is learning her animal sounds. Or at least one animal sound. That's right our daughter.... can moo like a cow!

So as you can see is as beautiful as ever and is doing very well. She is still in the lower percentiles for hight and weight, but is growing steadily and is certainly very healthy.

I hope you enjoy some of the latest photos with her new hair style. In the first she is cracking up like she usually is but I'm not sure about the 2nd. It looks like she is telling me off or something.
