Guess What!

I got a tooth! I could show it to you but that wouldn't be any fun. So you will just have to wait.

Wow Seven Months!

Gianna has mastered rolling over and crawling and climbing. She is such an active seven month old that the seven month photo shoot went by in a BLUR... literally!







What a seven month old stinker!

Happy First Mother's Day!

Gianna loves her Daddy!



But mommy loves Daddy too!
Thanks Gianna and Daddy for a great first Mother's Day!

Sound Effects

Gianna can't say any words yet but she makes some pretty funny noises. We are going to show her these pictures when she turns 16.

Up Up and Away

Check out Gianna and Daddy practicing for her figure skating career in pair skating. Throw lifts? No problem!

My New Chair

Ok, I should let you know that Gianna tried out her new high chair from Aunt Sue and Cousin Nicole. She thinks it is pretty cool!

But she got a little confused and thought the chair was really from UNCLE GARY and wanted to bless it with a little gas (really in honor of all of her Uncles). Yes she is doing what you think she is doing. My beautiful little girl...

Me and Dad

Take a look at Gianna and Daddy in the back yard. I think the twinkle in her eye spells trouble. At least that is what it means when her daddy has the same look!

Half a year!

This week in Gianna World!

Wow, what a week! Gianna is growing up way too fast. This week she has mastered carrots and green beans in addition to her rice cereal. Today she even drank an ounce of milk from her sippy cup.



Note: The first few bites are always a little rocky...



Gianna has decided to stay on campus at the sitters for lunch and opt for the "cold lunch" option instead of going "out" for a "hot lunch" with mom. She reserves the right to change her mind, after all she is a girl.

She is now sitting up for tiny little bits (long enough for her photo crazy mom to snap a pic) and loves to use this opportunity to fold in half and chew on her toes. In her defense, they are some pretty cute toes




She is also prepped for take off. She pulls up to all fours and rocks back and forth. She is gonna crawl ladies and gentleman. I hope to have everything ready this weekend for the baby invasion.






And I had my first proud parent moment. If you sneak to my school and infiltrate the security cam you will notice my peacock strut after a phone call from our fertility specialist who not only wanted to put the baptism picture I sent him on their baby wall but also wanted permission to put her on their website. Now I have to tell you, I was not prepared for the giddy rush and may have blinded a few students and teachers with a 1000 kilowatt smile. It is just a website for goodness sake.

Easter Sunday 2009

Happy Easter

Happy Valentine's Day
