This passed week was full of fun happenings. On Monday, Adriana turned 10 months old! It's so hard to believe! She is crawling like a speed demon around the house. She is pulling up on everything and loves table food. She is saying her first words "Dada," "Mama" and "Baba" (for Gabby). About 6 months ago, we noticed that Gabby had two nicknames for Adriana - "Adriani" (she has called her this since Adriana was days old) and a new one, "Baba." It looks like Adriana has picked up on "Baba" and now uses it to call Gabby. It's really adorable.
Adriana loves to crawl and climb on Gabby and Gabby loves it. They sort of wrestle on the carpet together. It never really gets out of hand. We hear all sorts of laughing and squealing when they do this - really funny! They are already becoming very close.
I love the look on Adriana's face. Priceless!
About to take off!

Tuesday was Gabby's first day of preschool. She will go two full days each week. She was so glad to return to her school and see her friends. They spent an hour that morning at the local wading pool so she had a great first day back. We still can't believe she's an official preschooler.
Her cool new backpack! She loves it and carries it around all the time.
Adriana wasn't excited for the early morning photo shoot.

On Saturday, we headed to Manhattan to visit family. Daddy was with friends for the weekend on a "Guys Trip" so the ladies loaded the car and headed West. We spent the afternoon with Nana doing fun indoors and outdoors activities and then Gabby and I went to one of my friend's wedding in the evening.
Art project time with Nana.
Having fun with the hose. Gabby watered Nana's flowers and garden and hosed Nana, too. Gabby enjoyed playing with the water on such a hot day!
Look who caught the bouquet at the wedding....
That's right....Gabriella! With a little help from the other bachelorettes and the bride, Gabby walked away with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Let's hope she isn't the next to marry. We certainly aren't ready for that one. Mommy and Daddy are having a hard enough time adjusting to the fact she is in preschool! But in all seriousness, Gabby loves princesses, weddings and all that goes along with it. We think it's the Disney influence because we don't really talk to her about such things. It's safe to say she is all GIRL... she loves dresses, painted fingernails and toenails, jewelry, hair bows, etc. She is a lot of fun! (Sorry about the picture's quality - I took it with my Blackberry.)

On Sunday, Grandpa brought us to the Country Club for lunch. David arrived in town in the early afternoon so the girls, David and Grandpa swam in the pool for a little bit. It was another hot day!
