I didn't realize how long it has been since my last post.  It's been a very busy year for us.  I had a liver resection in April and am pretty much fully recovered now.  It was a long recovery and I am still sore and do not have all of the feeling back in my stomach, but overall it was a success.  Hopefully no more issues down the road:0)

Anyway enough about me the main reason I am posting today is that Gabriela has lost her first tooth!!!!  4 years and nine months old!!!!  Two days ago she was driving home from a job site with Bob and started freaking out...she was so hysterical that Bob could not understand what was wrong.  She was finally able to get out that her favorite tooth was loose and she was going to miss it so much.  We hadn't yet prepped her for loosing teeth since I thought it would be 6 months to a year before she'd start loosing them.  It was really loose and today it came out while she was out to lunch with Auntie Er and Auntie Meg at Thatcher McGee's in Denville around 1:00pm.  I know it's not a big deal, but it's just a little bitter sweet for me, since it's another milestone towards growing up.  This bothered me as much as her diaper sizes changing.  I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly.  She'll be 5 in a few months and it feels like she was born yesterday.  When I told her the night we realized it was loose that she's a big girl, she looked at me and said "but I'll always be your baby right?".  I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!!!

Her favorite things are dancing (specifically shaking her "booty"), princesses, the iPad, and her family!!!!  Favorite foods are fruit & veggies!!!  Not a big meat lover with the exception of Liverwurst (Yuck) and grilled chicken.
