Those are all perfect descriptions/nicknames for her, because she does like to "gab". She seriously echoes nearly everything you say, speaks in sentences and talks all day long. "Wass (What's) that?" is a common question around here these days, because she wants to name everything and talk about it. She has learned probably 40 or more Spanish words/phrases and who knows how many hundreds of English words. She adores her big sisters, and seems especially close to Ella. But as I've mentioned before, she can not be left unattended.... Here's proof:
Gabby's attempt at putting makeup on!
Last Sunday morning, I ran downstairs to wake Michelle up. There was a bottle of nail polish on the kitchen counter, closed tightly. Gabrielle was sitting at the kitchen counter when I ran downstairs for no more than 3 minutes. I returned to find her painting her fingernails and toenails. She wouldn't hold still for a good picture, and it was actually much worse at first, but this gives you an idea:
Unfortunately, her nail painting also ended up on the kitchen counter! And I was out of nail polish remover! But despite her bent for causing trouble, she is as sweet as can be (most of the time)... and we adore her curly hair, which seems to be getting curlier all the time, and her shy smile, and her laugh. We're so glad she is part of our family!!
