Tummy time!

Gabbie is doing really well with tummy time and has even rolled over twice now! She's such a happy little girl! =)
Davis usually can't stay away -- especially when there's a camera around. =)

Swim Lessons




Davis finished up swim lessons a couple weeks ago. He had semi-private lessons, which worked out for the best. He really loved it. He's a fish, pretty much. He loves to jump off the side into the pool and swim under water as Bob or I give him a push towards the steps.
Gabbie kept me company and watched Davis in the pool during his lesson. Then, we got our own suits on and swam together with Davis after he was done! Bob was able to make it from work (lessons were in the evening) a bunch of times so it was fun family time!!

Brandi Reunion

After I got back from my cousin's wedding, Gabbie and I drove to Danville from the Sacramento Airport to be with Bob and his family! All his siblings from Utah and L.A. drove up and flew in for a family reunion. It was a lot of fun to see everyone. It was a little stressful, too, since Davis came down with a really high fever (103 degrees), but we stuck it out with everyone's help so we could see them as much as possible. It felt good to be home so we could all recover, especially since Gabbie got a little fever, too, but it was sure fun to see everyone.
We got family pictures taken professionally, so you can check them out at http://kellinicolephoto.com/.
Click on "client images" Search: Event Name: Brandi Family, Event Date: July 24th, State: CA. Hopefully, I can post some on here, too. They turned out pretty good. Davis did well considering his fever. We gave him some Motrin right before so he gave us a few smiles. We pushed it too long, though, during a pose with just the grandchildren. Most of them don't even have Davis in them and the others are of him reaching out for me behind the photographer.

More from Father's Day Weekend

I know this is out of order, but I didn't want to miss it entirely.

My mom, Bob and Lance watched the kids while Megan and I played tennis with our Dad. They found a nice tree for shade so Davis could clean the sand out of his shoes. He didn't last very long at the playground because he didn't like the feel of the sand in his sandals. Gabbie was a good girl and let me play for an hour or so before she had to eat again. I think she liked having the wind blow through her hair. =) It was a really pleasant day.
After some hardcore tennis we got some In-N-Out for lunch and ate at the park. We were at Twin Oaks Park in Rocklin. I love it because it's an older park with lots of shade trees, open space for soccer, lots of baseball fields, great big playground, and these brand new tennis courts. Our church building is just next door.

Gabbie's Blessing Day

We got to bless Gabbie on Father's Day, June 17th. Bob did an excellent job and we were excited to have family come. Bob's parents drove up from the Bay Area and my parents flew down from Seattle. Our big fun surprise was Megan and Lance drove through the night from Provo to be here for the weekend! We had a blast! And I appreciate their sacrifice of sleep to be able to come. Love ya!

Fun at Cousin's Wedding



My cousin, Jack, and his lovely new wife, Melissa, were married 2 weekends ago (July 20th) in the Los Angeles Temple. Gabbie and I were able to go and see them and all our Sanofsky family!! It was very fun to see everyone and especially for Gabbie and her cousin, Grace, to meet. =)




I also got to see my cousin, Erika (Jack's older sister)! I haven't seen her in forever, so it was awesome to see her and her husband, Bryce. They are so cute and sweet with their little one, Caroline. She's so cute and darling and has the best hair (which is not showcased very well in this photo)!!! =) Caroline was born with 9p- (9 p delete) with additional genetic material in chromosome 1. To learn more about Caroline you can go to Erika and Bryce's blog: http://lovefromlv.blogspot.com. Love you guys!!!

Davis LOVES the pool!

Davis is such a fish! He's loving the pool, especially since he's had swim lessons this week. His favorite things to do are jump from the side of the pool and then stay under water as long as he can!

Siblings



This was taken awhile ago, but this is what their relationship is like right now. They can get each other smiling and laughing (even though Gabbie looks upset here) just by looking at each other. Gabbie loves to follow Davis around and watch what he's doing. And Davis loves to make Gabbie smile and laugh. Hopefully, this will continue.
There's a smile!
