Last Weeks Adventures

Gabre and I spent the 4th of July in Illinois with her Nonni and Popy. She had quite the schedule and must have been held by 20 different people a day. Nonni wanted everyone to see her first grandchild. I must say she was quite a trooper with almost no complaining. She was/is also cutting her first tooth.
While in Illinois she started waving bye bye. Now she can clap, wave and today she started covering her eyes to play peek-a-boo. Sometimes instead of covering her eyes she puts her hands on the top of her head with her eyes fully exposed. She totally thinks she is still playing peek-a-boo, it's too cute.
We had to see a doctor on our visit because she has a cyst on her arm and my friend "nurse" Morgan said so. They did her growth chart for us at the visit. Gabre is a little over 28 in. and 16.5 lbs. This puts her in the 75% for height and 10% for weight. She has grown a lot in the last two weeks. She is starting to grow out of some of her clothes. All her clothes were big when we first returned from Ethiopia. I guess I will have to put them away for our next baby. Scott said today, "So when are we starting the process again". I know he was just joking, but it would be nice.

Here are some pictures from last weeks adventures.
