Tastin the Food

Every morning I give the cats a can of soft food in the kitchen. This morning, Gabbie finished her breakfast and began playing with her kitchen stove - sink set. She likes to pretend she cooks and then brings me a bowl and spoon to taste it. Well this morning as I was washing dishes I noticed I didn't get my usual request to taste her food. When I turned around, she was with Anthony( her guardian cat)and she had used one of her spoons to put some cat food in her bowl and she was feeding Anthony with her spoon. I had to laugh to myself and I was amazed that she recognizes so much. Then my feelings were a little hurt as I realized Gabbie would much rather have Anthony the cat taste her food than her mom!

Brown Day

Today was brown day at daycare.....too cute!

Gardener?

As a kid, I watched my grandfather's grow large gardens full of tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, squash, okra, you name it, they grew it. I, on the other hand, have not had a green thumb so far. This summer I decided to give tomato plants a try. I got off to a late start, of course but better late than ever. Nonetheless, my plants are growing!! I haven't killed them off yet, thankfully. I think my grandfathers' are looking down and laughing at the fact that I have them planted in pots but a girl's gotta start somewhere. It looks like my first cherry tomato will be ready soon. I don't think I am going to be able to eat it.

Family Reunion

This weekend Gabbie experienced her 1st family reunion. I must admit she was not very friendly. It seems that if she doesn't know you, she really doesn't want to be bothered with you. But as time progressed, she eventually did warm up to some people.I think she was overwhelmed with all the people. Nonetheless, she enjoyed herself and it was nice meeting new people.

Luaua Day

Today was luaua day at daycare. Gabbie wouldn't keep her grass skirt or sunglasses on so this is as good as it gets.

Yogurt Anyone.

Hiiii Gato!

I adopted 2 Hurricane Katrina cats over 4 years ago; they were just kittens when I got them but since then they have become a part of my family. When I realized I was pregnant, I thought about giving them away but I just couldnt bring myself to do it. Now Gabbie is here and she loves the cats. For Sam, she loves terrorizing him. He hides from her and every now and then he will warm up to her. Now Anthony, he's a dog in a cats body, absolutely adores her. Since she came home from the hospital he has been her guardian cat. When she cries he goes and rubs her legs and tries to comfort her. First thing in the morning, she gives me a hug and then she says, "hi gato". It is the cutest thing!

Pajama Day

Today was pajama day at daycare. They all seemed to be having a great time. Of course my daughter is in the front having a ball.

What a view

As I was stopped at a light, I looked in my rear view mirror only to see Gabbie with her sunglasses on enjoying her gold fish. Hilarious, she put her sunglasses on herself:)

The girl loves to eat

As Gabbie gets more teeth, we are trying more and more new food. I have discovered that she loves watermelon. So for dinner tonight she had mac and cheese with watermelon for dessert. What a meal:)

Happy 4th of the July

Happy 77th Birthday Grandpa; we love and miss you very much!

The Bottle Station has Disappeared

After two weeks of working on reducing the number of bottles Gabbie uses, we have packed up the bottle station. She still takes a bottle at night but her morning and day time bottles have disappeared. I must admit I had mixed feelings when she and I were packing up the bottles. She is growing up so fast!
