Mabel does the bounce!

Mabel climbed up on her favorite toy, the ottoman, and pro­ceed­ed to bounce and “sing.” Of course, I kept film­ing in hopes she’d do her bum-drop, but no such luck. At least, not until right after I turned off the cam­era. HA!


Mabel is a happy girl

Oh, how we love this girl! She is such a hap­py girl and so many that meet her love her. Her big smile and adorable laugh keep up so much in love with her. 🙂


Hello, Abuela & Abuelo!

Yay!! Abue­lo and Abuela came to vis­it Mabel. Mabel fell in love instant­ly and loved spend­ing all the with her. 🙂 Abue­lo and Abuela taught Mabel how to drum her lips and honk her nose (“beeeeep”), which she just loves! 🙂


Mabel playing with Daddy

Dad­dy gets to play one-on-one with Mabel each morn­ing. Mabel trea­sures those times! It’s so fun to see them bond and see how much they love each other.


Standing up…and falling down

Mabel learned to stand and is supreme­ly proud of her­self! She often bounces up and down with her lit­tle bum shak­ing. When she wants to be done, she sim­ply does a “butt-drop,” much like Mama did on the tram­po­line as a lit­tle girl. It’s fan­tas­tic to watch! Thank good­ness for fluffy cloth diapers—I think that builds her con­fi­dence to make the drop. Of course, some­times she drops and rolls…oops.
