Had To Add Some Pictures

This morning, I briefly stopped by work, and when my friend and helper, Terri, met us at the car, she immediately said, "Oh my gosh! Look at her hair!" as soon as she saw Raquel. I glanced at the back seat - still not able to completely shake that final 24-hour EEG image - and thought she had done something unknown to me during our short ride to work. What Terri was referring to was how much her hair has grown out and how big she is getting.

Earlier this morning, I had that same realization: I was getting her dressed, grabbed a pair of hot pink stretch pants, and was puzzled watching her walk around the living room shortly after. The pants just seemed loose on her for some reason. A few minutes later, I looked at the tag and discovered that I had put Gabby's hot pink stretch pants (hey, every girl's gotta have a pair or two, right?) mistakenly in Raquel's drawer and she was wearing them instead! And they pretty much fit! Gabby is only about a head taller than her now. She really has grown a lot.

So, I thought it was time for me to put some new pictures on her blog. This is how most of you probably still picture her looking. These were taken by Cari during her final ABA session on her third birthday in mid-January:





And these were taken last night before bedtime in front of our friend's house.







She's definitely got some curls going - and LOVES to have her hair brushed. I'm sure her Samoan cousins are proud. :-)
