What a week!

It's been a little crazy at our house the last few days. We took Gabrielle in for her 9-month check up and we came out with a breathing machine and perscriptions for $300 worth of medicine. Ugh! She had a little cough and a bit of a runny nose, but our new pediatrician down here thinks that she has RSV, and that we need to give her all these meds. She's on two different breathing medications three times a day (which take about 30 minutes each time), as well as two oral liquids three times a day.
On top of that, Nick and I both felt like we were coming down with colds Sunday night...perfect since he's flying back to Wichita Tuesday through Thursday this week. Please pray for us all...

Anyway...here are some cute pictures from this past week...

Look how tall she's getting (28" long and 22 lbs. at her appointment last week), and she's learning to climb/stand on most anything!

Nick tried to pick her up a couple of times, but she wouldn't let go of her toy walker. She loves moving around the room with it, and I can't wait until she learns to turn instead of "crashing" into everything! :)

You can almost see her two front teeth that came in a week apart at the beginning of December.
Nick looks totally enthused putting on the cabinet locks in the kitchen. Gabrielle's favorite thing this last week has been going into any room in our house and emptying things out of drawers and cabinets. Any suggestions on how to keep drawers shut with out drilling in those locks?

Sunday morning's beautiful bed-head.

Gabi got this trike from my parents for Christmas. They wanted her to have it as soon as she was ready. But from the looks of it, her legs have some growing to do before she will be able to reach the pedals! For now she enjoys Nick pushing her around on it the livingroom.
