Gabi-girl!

Gabi is growing up so fast. She just turned 9 months old. It is amazing how time flies! She has 2 bottom teeth and is just starting to crawl around and pull herself up. My kids are always a little slow to move because they have lots of weight to carry around! I have no idea when those little legs of hers will be able to support her body weight to walk around. I don't care though...I love the chunk!

She is a little talker just like Olivia was. She screams DADA, MAMA, BABA and basically just likes to be really loud when she wants some attention. She raises her arms up when you say, "SO BIG!" and she is just starting to clap some. She is always shaking her head back and forth like she is dancing...its pretty cute!

While we were in SC, I would show her pictures of Olivia and she would start going crazy. You should have seen the two of them when they saw eachother at the airport. They were both so excited! I hope they will be the best of friends!!

Olivia update:)

Well, Olivia continues to crack up K.C.and I. This girl comes up with some amazing stuff for a 2 year old!

Best one yet...K.C. asked Olivia the other day if she wanted to be like Mommy or Daddy. She paused for a second, looked at him and said, "I just want to be Olivia." WHOOHOO...I couldn't ask for a better answer! Go Olivia!

I came home from work the other day and she was on her "cell phone." I was trying to talk to her and she said, "Mom, you have to be quiet, okay, I'm on a conference call." I said, "Oh, sorry, just let me know when its over." Then she said in her phone, "Okay, sorry, what were you saying?"

K.C. and I took her to get her nails painted again. She walked right in with her purse on her shoulder and said, "I was wondering if you could paint my nails. I want them painted this color right here." The lady said, sure, when I'm done, I'll paint your nails. She sat there patiently and then said, "Just let me know when its my turn, okay." So the lady comes up and tells her it is her turn. She gets right up without saying anything to us, walks over to the table, gets in the chair, puts her little hands up on the pad, crosses her ankles and says, "So, what is your name?" The lady tells her and then she says, "My name is Olivia Lynn Moultrie. I really like your nails. Thank you for painting mine." This child is making conversation with a total stranger at 2!! HILARIOUS!

She is the best little helper. She helps me feed Gabi, she can get Gabi to stop crying, she loves to help me clean and she even wants to "workout with me." She is very encouraging. She will say, "Good job, Mom! I'm so proud of you!" and "Wow Mom, I like that outfit. You look pretty. Can I put on an outfit just like you?"

She is our little angel and we adore her!!

BACK HOME!!

Finally home, together with my family! It was nice being in SC and in Cali for my work meeting, but it is so nice being back with my sweet husband and my darling little girls. I felt so bad not being with KC on Father's Day, but he managed to find a way to get rid of the blues....RETAIL THERAPY! If any of you know my husband, the man loves to shop. And not just anywhere...he is high dollar! So, he hit up the Nordstrom Men's half yearly sale. He is better at justifing a purchase that any woman I know...so ladies...if you need someone to shop with...CALL KC!

We had a nice lunch today at one of my favorite places, Porcupine Grill. We took the girls swimming and have basically just been hanging out together. I do want to say that KC is such a great Dad. The girls adore him! Anytime Gabi hears his voice across the phone, she starts screaming DADA, DADA...and tries to get the phone from me. Then she just starts kissing it over and over again.

Olivia...well, she has been a Daddy's girl as long as I can remember. She always wants them to dress like "twinners", so here is a pic of them both decked out in black and white Nike stuff. I am so blessed to be married to an amazing Father and husband!

Happy Father's Day!

Gabi and I flew to SC for a long weekend to surprise my Dad for Father's Day. It was so much fun! He was definitely shocked to see us! I had my Mom pick us up at the airport then I just went to the front door and knocked. The look on his face was PRICELESS! We had such a good time together...good quality time. I am so happy I got to be with him and my family on such a special day.

My Dad has always been a great mentor for me and given me the most vaulable skill set to make life successful and fun! I hope he had a Happy Father's Day!!

Gabi is a snuggler!

While we were in SC, Gabi was sharing the love! She just loves to be snuggled. Olivia was not really like that, she just wanted to do things herself and have space. Gabi is 100% the opposite. Every morning, she wants me to just lay next to her while she drinks her bottle and snuggle her up. I hope she will always be that way. I LOVE IT! She was so sweet with my Mom and Dad. I know they have to be missing her...even if she is a loud talker:)

Happy Birthday Emily!

My little cousin, Emily, turned 4 while we were back in SC. Gabi and I went to her fun pool party. I was sad Olivia couldn't be there because she and Emily just adore each other. Gabi and I had a good time. Gabi just loves the water. You should see her in the bathtub...she will just stick her face right in the water and laugh!! Cutie pie!!
