Gabrielle at TWO

This girl is coming to more fully understand the world around her. She is starting to put some words together like: 'I see you', and 'look me', and 'sit down'. In Chinese she can string about three words together. She loves to mimic all that her siblings are doing, so she plays hide and seek with them, races with them and currently loves to jump. She can finally say 'Tobin' instead of 'Todin'. As I type she is saying, "TOBIN, nali??" which is 'where are you?' He is hiding from her.

She is sleeping well finally, and is, of course, a Coker thumb sucker at night. We could transition her to a 'big girl bed' but are waiting a bit. She currently shares a room with Tobin and that is good for both of them.

She loves to ride on the back of the bike, loves to eat dumplings, french fries, and rice. She doesn't often get to go to the pool but the whole family started getting swimsuits together on Sunday and she said: "Pool?" It was so much fun and she wore floaties and loved the water, not to mention the baby slide now smack dab in the middle of the pool. She was even jumping to our arms by the end, this is progress in water-love.

Gabrielle is probably our best cuddler, and still hugs our necks and gives great night night kisses.
Bottle her up, she is ooey gooey cuteness and growing so fast!
