Once upon a time I had a 1 1/2 year old girl named Gabbers.

She was particularly small for her age.  And even at 18 months she couldn't walk.  Low muscle tone + hypermobility of her joints = not a walker yet.  So people thought she was MUCH younger than she was.

But she had a big BIG personality.  and she loved boys. This was before she had 5 brothers. She just had her older brother Pookie at the time.

She'd say to any boy or man in passing, "Hey, hey, hey!"  And when she got their attention she'd yell, "DOUBLE YOU!!" 

"W" was her favorite letter. 
Little old ladies thought she was the sweetest little doll ever.  They would say, "Oh what a cute little girl you are!"  or "Hello sweetie!" and all such things that little old ladies say.

But like I said, Gabbers LOVED boys.  She didn't care for little old ladies. 

And she let them know it. 

Gabbers would growl in a deep that-couldn't-possibly-have-come-from-a-toddler-angel voice "STOP IT."

I tried to leave a comment on this wonderful blog spot last week....your Gabbers will appreciate these memories even more when she's older. She's such a doll.
