Let it snow!

SWEET!

Santaphobia take two.

She said she wanted to see Santa...

She looked happy to see him...

But no, she didn't really mean it.

Deck the halls!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween was so much fun this year. At two Gianna enjoyed carving the pumpkin with me.


This year she dressed as a "FlaFly"



She was ready to go door to door and say "Trick or Treat!"

Taking a break


At the end of the night she was tired but she picked a sucker out of the bag. She was content to watch TV and enjoyed about two minutes of her sucker before she was done.

Pumpkin Fun!

Happy Birthday!

Where have two years gone? I can't believe it. Happy Birthday Gianna!

A Little About Me...

Name: Gianna
Age: Almost TWO
Height: Just under neath the flower pot.

Weight: About 23 pounds (I wear 18m clothes)
Favorite thing to do? Play with my baby dolls, draw, have a tea party, cook, play with rocks outside, play hide and seek, and read books.

I love going out side, swinging, swimming, riding bikes with mom, blowing bubbles, and standing on stools.

I enjoy chocolate milk, chips, pasta, pizza, fruit snacks, gold fish, french fries, mac and cheese, bananas, and lunch meat sandwiches.



What is new with me? I got my ears pierced. I can reach the pedals on my big wheel. I can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, I can "read" Brown Bear Brown Bear.

Two more months to go...

I can't believe she is going to be TWO years old. She is still my baby girl. I know I am her mom but seriously, this kid is so smart with a sense of humor and ready smile. Little Miss Independent who has to have stool and do things herself. We are so lucky to have her. I thank God every night in my prayers for blessing us with her. Then I remind myself that is what I did the next day when she is dramatically enunciating her favorite phrase... "I. Don't. Want. To!" or "Stop". Which has some stiff competition with the "Muma whatchoo doin" phrase that I hear a million times a minute. I love that kid! You have to love her when you know for a fact that she was created in my image. My own little mini me. Yes my mom is grinning from heaven at the payback. I know she agrees with me, I am blessed.

Got my ears pierced!

Thanks grandma!

Making the sauce with mom!

Ready to ride!

Peek-a-boo!

Memorial Day Weekend at the Lake

Big Girl Bed

At the Lake my Papa and Grandma got me a big girl bed. Check it out!

Happy Mothers Day!

Gianna,
I am unbelievably blessed to be your mother. You amaze me every day with your personality, intelligence, and energy. Know always that the amount of love I have for you infinite ( I have no fear that you will know what this word means any day now) and much bigger than myself. Reach for the moon, you might just fall among the stars!
Love mama

Blast from the past...

Take a look at Gianna and her dad. She loves to help him around the yard. Remember the first time she got a ride with daddy? If not, check here.



And here.

Let's go to the zoo!
