Here and There

So, this is my last week of maternity leave and I'm dreading going back to the city for work like crazy!!! I can't imagine being away from Giana for so long, and to be so far away. Luckily, my parents are driving up and will take care of her the first week at least that I'm back at work. Will put my mind at ease a bit. Though I'm sure the tears will be flowing. It makes my heart hurt just thinking about it. It will get better with time I'm sure!!
So, big step for Giana this week. She moved into her room and into her crib. YAY! She's slowly adjusting. Getting better each day. And we moved into our new bedroom Mike renovated. I need to take some pics to show it off. Love it. ;)

Giana's new thing is to eat her hands.
We went to a pumpkin patch up here in NY. Got some cute pics!

Just want to kiss her all over! Love those cheeks!

The last of the MO pics

Trip Home to Missouri

Here are some of the pics I took when Giana and I were at home in St. James with my Mom and Dad. We're still trying to decide what grandparent names they should be called......

Cheering on Daddy's Yankees

Finally fell in love with her swing and now likes to nap in it.

Trying out her Bumbo seat. A little too small still. We had to prop stuff behind her so she wouldn't fall. Soon she'll fit though.

Smiley girl cheering on her Cards!!! Guess she didnt have the magic touch though.

Pumpkin toosh!!

I've been slow to update the blog again. OOPS! We just got back from Missouri and had a fabulous time. Miss Giana got to meet so many new family members, friends, etc. She was great, except her little gassy tummy gave her so much trouble. I think she is excited to be back in her regular routine, but misses everyone of course. She did amazing on the plane both times though. We got lucky and had a whole row to ourselves. She had a bunch of firsts- eating out a restaurants, going to the pumpkin patch, zoo, meeting her boyfriend Jack ( HA!) , and so much more. We went to the dr today and she is doing great. Up to 12.8 lbs and 22.4 inches. She had to get 2 shots today and luckily Mike was able to come with me. I couldn't watch. But she quickly recovered from the crying. Tough girl. Next month she luckily gets off from shots. YAY. Well, I have tons of pics to post and am still awaiting lots more from my sisters and Mom from our trip. So, stay tuned. The pics above are from before our trip.

I told you I was posting a TON of pics. ;)

Ok, this is the last of the pics for this week. ;) I think I got caught up finally.

Mike built this porch this week. Just wanted to show it off.

Daddy's Yankee fan-- where'd she go????

Cutest naked baby ever!

Hanging in her bouncer

Yes, it's after Labor Day, but this little white outfit was adorable.

Daddy playing a lullaby for Giana.

Pictures Galore!

Ok, finally got some time to post some pics! So, here goes.....
Giana is getting so big!!! Smiling all the time! Still trying to capture it because our camera is too slow. She is really focusing when you talk to her, looking at bright colors. She is also content if I let her hang out in her bouncer, bassinet. And just gets cuter and cuter each day!!

Not in focus- but a little bit of a smile. ;)
Love this one up close.

Just hanging. One of the last summer days to wear these clothes.

In her cute Osh Kosh dress.

Going wild in her leopard dress

Crazy week......

Sorry, I haven't gotten the chance to post any new pics this week! Little Miss Giana has been having some tough nights with little gas hurting her. ;( But last night she was great! So, knocking on wood!! But, she is growing, growing! Each day her little legs seem longer, taking after her Daddy! And she is SMILING!!!! Love it! More and more each day. I keep trying to capture it, but our camera isn't fast enough. Today she is having her first little playdate. Popular already! HA. I'll definitely post pics tomorrow!!
