Gia - 4 Months

Gia is getting so big - 15lbs (85%) and 26 inches long (off the chart!) and loves to sit up and be involved in what everyone else is doing. As I've said before, she is quite the little babbler. If she talks half as much as she babbles now, we are in serious trouble. She loves to blow bubbles, take baths, taking walks/being outside, sitting in her high chair and exersaucer. She hasn't quite mastered rolling over or sitting up but she can sit up by herself for about 30 seconds.  She LOVES her big brother - she will follow him all over the room with her eyes and give him a huge smile when he talks and sings to her :)

Santa Clause Came to Town!

Whew! It's been a whirlwind holiday season for us! Sorry for the lag is postings, mama and daddy took a 'bad timing' trip to San Diego! The trip was great despite the Ravens horrible performance and the really bad timing the week before Christmas! We managed to get everything done just in time for Santa!

This year was so much fun! Jack BELIEVES! I forgot how much fun it is to really Believe in Santa. We also had an Elf named Elvis come stay with us - he would report back to Santa every night that Jack was being a good boy :)

We spent Christmas Eve morning/afternoon with the Mansolillo's and McNeece's and then dinner with the Williams clan. The Christmas day we spent the morning enjoying Jack and Gia playing with their new toys and then off to the Schwab's for Christmas dinner.
