Giana's First Christmas

Giana's First Christmas was spent in Missouri with my family. We were so lucky and Olivia and Chez were able to come in as well. And they had BIG news- they had gotten engaged!!!!!! YAY!!! Our time in MO flew by of coursem but it was so perfect. Giana was spoiled by her Oma, Pops and Aunties of course. So many new fun toys she can play with!! Thank you to my Mom and Dad for such a fabulous Christmas and going above and beyond!!! And we were also able to meet up with many aunts/uncles/cousins and a few of my best friends.

Giana with her future hubby Jack.( My best friend Annie's little boy that was born 2 days after Giana) It was so funny they kept staring at one another, holding each other's hands, reaching for one another. Love it!!
And so the love begins...........

Gazing into each other's eyes... ;)

Giana's First Christmas

FINALLY BACK!!!

So, Mike surprised me with a new laptop for Christmas! YAY! I can finally update the blog with pics. Giana has been growing like crazy!! At the dr a few weeks ago she was 14.4 lbs and 25 3/8 inches long. She started cereal and has been chowing!! Loves playing in her exersaucer. Is now officially in 3-6 mos clothes. Is making all kinds of noises- almost like high pitches squeals, blowing bubbles, etc. SLeeping thru the night is still a challenge...hopefully soon!! Here are a few new pics. I'll post some more from Giana's first Christmas next.
