Gianna's Blank Wall

Since I started Gianna's Big girl room her main was has remained empty and boring.  Until now!  I made book shelves out of rain gutters and transformed an old bulletin board into a magnetic board.  Also, Gianna and I made glitter magnets.  It was fun and I like how it turned out!   Marco was fabulous and hung it all for me!

This is the bulletin board before (I dug it out of the garage, painted it and put a piece of sheet metal in it)

Then bought rain gutters and turned them into book shelves. 

  Gianna is so proud to hang her art work from  preschool!

A Leprechaun visited!

Gianna played with Playdoh and a Leprechaun visited.  I told Gianna about Leprechauns and St. Patricks day and she wanted to go to the zoo and see one....This little one has an imagination!  So, I told her they are so fast you usually can't catch or see them.  So a "Leprechaun" left a green gum drop trail to her room with cookies on her table.  She was so excited and ate WAY to many cookies!!!

Kennedy eating a banana in the mesh self-feeder.  She loved it!

 Gianna playing Playdoh!

Kennedy eating

I have started a daily dance party.  Me, Gianna, and Kennedy turn on ITUNES and rock out while I make dinner.  Its fun and makes cooking dinner more fun!  (Picture and Photos to come)

Also, Gianna is always asking to feed Kennedy so today was her day.  So I taught her how to "gently" feed her... Lets just say it was a little messier than normal!

Chubby Cheeks

I was taking a picture of Kennedy tonight and it really reminded me of Gianna at about 8 months.  Look at those chubby cheeks!

Gianna 8 months

Kennedy 6 1/2 months

Watching You Grow

Being your mom has so many exciting and awesome perks!  You have both grown so much!

Kennedy, in such a short time you have changed so much! You are eating fruits and vegetables and love your formula! Just this month I packed up your infant bath, removed your crib bumper and put more clothes away that you've outgrown!    I can't help but be a little sad!  You are probably my last and you have grown so much!  I smoother you with kisses and would love you to stay little forever....I remind myself that growning is what your supposed to do!  You my dear, are addicting!!

I love...

your giggles
how you snort cry when your wanting to eat
that you are sleeping 10-12 hours straight at night
the way you rapidly smack your right hand on things (high chair)

your happy never ending smile 

your toleration for your obsessive family, especially Gianna

that you think Gianna saying "boo" is hilarious

your tickle spots under your arm,  neck and on your thighs

your leg rolls

how you get so excited and kick your legs when you see your bottle

that you get so excited whenever Gianna talks to you

your comb over hair do

But mostly, I love that you are my daughter!!!

Gianna, you too have grown so much so fast!  You have turned into a little girl so fast, no more baby!  You are so independant and want to do everything yourself!  In a few short months you have grown so much and accomplished big milestones!!  You are a preschooler, totally potty trained, and just a joy to be around!  Your a little person!!!  

I love...

your sweet smile 

your sweet kisses

the funny things you say

that you ALWAYS know EXACTLY how/what you want 

your independant personality

the way you make Kennedy laugh

that you call Kennedy "sparkle eyes and Ken-Ken"

your love for milk
that you love ALL things girly and pink
that you are a Daddy's girl
that you also love bugs, fishing, and animals

how you love to cuddle in the morning

the sound of you creeping in our my room at 4am

your kind and gentle way with Kennedy

your creative and artist mind

that you know the brands of all your shoes

your big round brown eyes that just sparkle

But mostly, I just love that you are my daughter!!! 

Gianna in the Closet

Gianna had a rough night going to bed so I closed her door.  When I went back in this is what I found.  Hilarious!!!!

Kennedy starting to scoot!

Kennedy now can roll, slowly "scoot" around.  She sticks her butt straight in the air and buries her face in the ground to propel forward.  She is so proud of herself too!  Tonight she stumbled upon the coffee table and was really fascinated by it.

Videos

Gianna got ahold of the camera and decided to video our family photos.  Gianna loves the opportunity to video and take photos.  I'm pretty impressed with some of her footage!
