Kids do grow up so fast and I’m being totally silly today in mentioning that my girl Gabriella turned 3 1/2 this week. I did say silly didn’t I – I’ll add crazy to that too! I blame it all on this horrid mid-winter blahs – and nothing to celebrate. So here she is doing her thing in front of my camera at the big age of three-and-a-half!
I think this was just an excuse for a photoshoot.
(And I’m still in total scare to paint that old frame – I want to squeeze every bit of gold-frame-propping it can give me. It will be white soon – I promise ;))
Back to the celebrating.
I think we might bake some cookies today and have a tea party. Anything to brighten these cold days – so a party it shall be! lol
Here’s a few things about my girl:
– she loves to sing
– loves to show off new dance moves and poses (kind of reminding me of Stewie from SNL ;)
– draws beautifully – like a 4 year old!
– started to read – (I’ve already blabbed about that excitement ;)
– is fully potty trained – even nights! (I hope I won’t jinx that now) but she’s had the diapers off for the nights since the new year. Very proud.
– hates to brush her teeth though
– loves everything purple and is requesting to have our house painted – outside
– wants to be a police officer – all thanks to Sheriff from Cars!
– loves horses, pegasus and can you guess what else… unicorns ;) lol
– loves when mommy takes her to bed and reads and cuddles (I have accepted that 1 hour of my life per day is spent with my girl in my arms)
– she falls asleep with her eyes open! Jeez – no wonder why it takes an hour!
– she’s the coolest person I know ;)
I told you this was silly. This is it for Family Friday sharing from me.
How was your week? Anything you’d like to share?
(write in the comments and I may share your week’s moment next week)

The photos are beautiful! Happy Birthday to a sweet little girl. This week, for me, was about work, doctors, appointments and home sales – blah. Here’s to TGIF!

Cute photos! And the frame – love it. Why paint it white if you like it the way it is?
giozi says
Lovely. Your girl beautiful. I’m crazy for a vintage frame like your.
Sunshine Mama says
Great pictures! Your daughter is so adorable! Our week has been pretty uneventful as the kids were recovering from the nasty flu they had last week and I was trying to catch up on sleep and housework all week. But now we seem to be all caught up, so today feels like a fresh start and I’m looking forward to a great Friday and weekend!
Hope you have a great weekend too :)

Such beautiful pictures! Definitely not silly, sounds like a mama that loves her sweet girl. That big bow is something else. :-)

Hi Ella ~ Just catching up over here and I have to tell you that I LOVE this post!!! My daughter’s birthday is on June 6th, and since she was very little we have celebrated her half birthday on December 6th. It’s such a fun tradition and your sweet little Gabriella is adorable in these photos.
My cool moment of last week was a trip to Sedona with my grown-up girl. (Don’t blink! Gabriella will be 22 1/2 before you know it!)

Stewie? LOL!
and if she’s anything like here mama (and I suspect she is very much like you!) I am certain she’s awesome at drawing!
