Gabby is working hard to learn a new skill, it's one that I learned in utero. Michael and I have worked really hard to prevent her from being like her mom, but she is one determined little girl! She is getting pretty good at finding her thumb and placing it in her mouth. It has taken her 10 weeks to consistently get her thumb into her mouth, but she has succeeded! A little over a month ago was the first time she ever got her thumb in her mouth, and I must say it was the most coordinated time. The moment she stuck her thumb in her mouth and sucked once, Michael was swiftly pulling her thumb from her mouth because he was afraid she might realize she liked sucking her thumb. Ever since that triumphant day she has been working extremely hard to repeat this action. She enjoys sucking her thumb, but only works at it whenever her pacifier falls out. It helps on car rides when she starts crying because her pacifier falls out of her mouth. After a minute she usually remembers that she can try to suck her thumb and it is adorable hearing all of the loud smacking noised she makes while sucking her hand and looking for her thumb. I hope that Gabby continues being so persistent to succeed the things she desires, this is a great skill to learn in life. "If at first you don't succeed try, try again!"

We woke up that morning got dressed and headed to church to watch the baptism of some of the cutest kids I ever met. They church had us sit in the front row for ease of baptizing, but it made it far more difficult for us to contain our kids. The baptism was at the very beginning of the sermon. Less than 5 minutes after the baptism Gabby made a noise talking to Daddy, (I doubt the people next to us could even hear) the minister came up to me and offered to show me where the day care was. She was very polite and sweet, but I knew I could not exactly refuse. I have never left Gabby with a stranger, not for 30 seconds, so I walked in to the nursery and Gabby instantly began coloring. Once Addison appeared (because the m...
