My curious and determined little girl.

If you want a glimpse into Gabriella's personality, check out these two photos. They say it all.

Everything facinates her: lights in the ceiling, the cat sauntering through the living room, her own delicate hands.

And when she has her heart set on something--like playing with my cell phone or grabbing at a power cord or not wearing a hat on a windy day--God help the person who tries to get in her way.

Reaching for the stars.

I love this shot because it captures yet another rite of passage--Gabriella reaching for her crib mobile--as a newborn photo looms in the background.

I remember carefully picking out that mobile for my registry. Now it's time to take it down. Have nine months really come and gone that quickly?

Say "cheese"!
