Some random pics... Cousins.....

So, the other night I let Giana go a little crazy with her dinner. So, so messy!!! Immediately into the tub!!

My niece Annabelle. This is a framer. ;)

Sweet Ariella. Snoozing it up. Notice the jewelry she is wearing. Loving the accessories already. ;)

Cousins- Louis, Big G( Giovanni) and Little G ( Giana) all hanging out. ;)

Swimming with Daddy

So, Mike took his turn of doing swimming with Giana. She of course LOVED it!! It was funny as soon as we walked into the pool area, she yells out in excitement and starts jumping up and down in my arms. So cute.

Ok, so this has nothing to do with swimming. But, Giana lots to be a gymnast. Constantly putting herself into split position. Usually she has them even more spread out. She even fell asleep like this the other day. God medalist gymnast in the making. ;)

Updates on Miss G. ;)

Well, Giana is a lady on the move constantly!!!!!!! She is all over the place in seconds it seems, so we have our hands full keeping an eye on her!!She just wants to explore everything. But Such a happy girl!!! Breaks into a big smile everytime a new person comes up to her. She is up to 6 teeth now!! And a few others starting to pop thru. She is loving eating all the "big people" food. She is still such a cuddle bunny, layinhg her head on my shoulder while we sing songs. And she is obssessed with reading stories. She loves to help turn the pages.She is saying DaDa all the time. And Mama pops out only if she is whiny or needs something. ;) We have a great state park near us with a trail we can walk to, so I've been able to take her on lots of run/walks with this great jogging stroller Olivia and Chez got us!!
Speaking of, Giana and I head to MO this week to celebrate Auntie Olivia with a wedding shower!!! YAY!!! Can't wait to see everyone and also see Auntie Sarah's growing belly!!! She and Joe found out last week they are having a baby girl!!! A best friend in the making for Giana. ;)
Ohh, I had a celeb siting this week in the city. Some of you may not now- but I LOVE the celebs. I'm all about reading People, US Weekly, watching my shows!! Mike makes fun of me all the time!! I saw Erika Christensen. She is on the show Parenthood, was in the movie SwimFan. Love it. A few weeks ago I saw Matthew Modine as well.
As far as the house goes, we are getting our hardwood floors redone while we are in MO. I can't wait!! And Mike is putting new siding on the house this summer as well.

Giana's 1st Swimming Lesson!

We started Mother's Day with Giana's 1st Mommy and me Swimming lesson. She absolutely LOVED every minute of it. Splashing like crazy, kicking her legs, laughing, just loving every minute of it. We'll be doing that every SUnday for the next eight weeks. Mike and I are going to take turns going in the water with her. Water baby!!

Taking a ride on the kickboard

WOOO!

Warm Weather

It'a been so warm here lately and I have absolutely loved dressing Giana in little dresses and short sleeve shirts. Bring on summer!!! Giana has been such a happy baby!!! She stood on her own twice today!! Big girl!! Tries to talk back to you in her own little language. Is saying MaMa alot, which of course I love, love. My parents are here to visit!!! YAY! They are spending the week visiting and taking care of Giana. So glad they are here and get to spend some quality time with their grandbaby. We had a great Mother's Day today!!! My hubby surprised me with flowers and some gifts. Of course the weather was crappy today, so we were pretty low key. Had some yummy wine, Mike put together Giana's swingset and made a delicious dinner for us!! I can't wait to have Giana try out her swing set!!
Exploring the grass. Not knowing what to think. Love this outfit from Auntie Sarah too. ;)
