18 Months

It's been very busy here in the Reese house. Gabriela is growing so fast it's crazy!!!! I can't believe she is 1 1/2 years old already. Nothing new to report except that she is talking up a storm. She's able to repeat a lot of words and is starting to put things together. Yesterday I was taking her downstairs and Nana was sitting at the computer and Gabriela waived bye bye and said bye Nana. She is loving playing dress up. I bought some tutu's and head bands from Target and she is enjoying them so much. She actually likes having the headbands on her head now, quite a switch from a few months ago. Gabriela has turned out to be a climber, she doesn't seem to have much fear at all, which scares me!!!! You can't turn your back on her for a second. She opens all of the doors, climbs on boxes and bar stools and anything else that is floating around. Right now she is fighting a nasty cold again. I don't no where she comes up with them, but she does. We are just hoping it doesn't go into her ears this time. We had an appointment with an ENT last month at the recommendation of the pediatrician because of Gabriela's recurrent ear infections and the ENT said not tubes yet, but the next ear infection they want to see her again to see what exactly is going on in there. Fortunately there is no hearing loss at this point which is obviously our main concern. We start our second round of swim lessons on Tuesday, we are moving up to the parent child rather than the parent toddler. We shall see how it goes for the next 8 weeks!!!
