In addition to both Joe & I having our birthdays in July, we celebrated 2 other birthdays this past weekend! Cassidy turned 4 and Octavia turned 3! Cassidy is the daughter of Paul & Michele -- Paul was Joe's roomate at UW. Octavia is the daughter of Aric & Teresa. I used to work with Teresa and now I work with Aric. Octavia was adopted from Guatemala as well. The parties were lots of fun for Gabriela who loves being surrounded by people, especially little kids!
Whoa -- close up! She liked her party hat, but she LOVED the ice cream!
Make a wish, Octavia!
Your turn, Cassidy!
Gabriela continues to grow! We took her for her 9 month check-up last week. She weighed in at a whopping 21.5 pounds (90th %ile), was 30 inches tall (>100th %ile) and had a head circumfrence of 18 inches (85th %ile). We couldn't believe that she grew 3 inches in 3 months. She'll either be the tallest Guatemalan ever or the Halls have been rubbing off on her! ;-)
She is crawling fast and all over the place now. Her favorite is to crawl back and forth between the back door and the front door to look outside. She even crawled up and over Jackson the other day as well.
We're headed up to the Vail area this weekend to escape the dryness and heat of the foothills and to see our good friends Dan & Julianne.
Best wishes for a great week!
Love, Joe, Tara & Gabi
