Happy Father's Day!

We spent the morning with Pops at brunch at Rams Head - it was actually really delicious! Gia is quite the handful so she needs to be occupied at all times - Jack, as always, makes her crack up!

 I guess she thinks the coaster tastes good...yuck!

Then we headed to Grandma and Grandads for dinner

 lil Ms. serious - totally gets this from Daddy!

 loves Grandma's taco dip!

 we had our own private show of the blue angels - it was AWESOME!

pretty good attempt at all the kiddos :)

It's been a busy month already!! We wrapped up Jack's baseball season, mama and daddy went to the Nat's game with mama's co-workers and had WAY too much fun celebrating mama's birthday week :) Then we helped celebrate with Abby Gehring who actually shares mama's birthday, then weheaded back home for some more celebrating for mama and then ended this past weekend with the McNeece's! Great way to start summer!

Oh, and Jack also had crazy hair day at school - here he is with his red, green and blue mohawk!

 Gia and Daniel "dancing" - so funny! Daniel definitely gets his moves from his dad!

 

 We met Camille Logsdon too!

 Jack, Rebekah and Kacy

Gia - 9 months

We went to the doctors yesterday for Gia's 9 month appointment so I purposely waited to post this a few days after her 9 month birthday so I could report her measurements :)  She weighs in at a hefty 22lbs 5oz and she is 30 inches long (I compared her to big bro and he was 22lbs 7oz and 32 inches - he's a boy so he should be bigger) we didn't really expect Gia to be so big but apparently that's just how we make 'em! It's good though because she loves to wrestle with her big bro and she is sturdy enough that he won't hurt her easily. She's into EVERYTHING, I mean the girl doesn't give us a break....she loves to play with her toys, climb on everything, eat the dog food, dump their water on the floor, climb steps, she is even talking a tiny bit. She loves playing the dropsy game and as soon as she releases it she says "uh-oh"...it's too cute! She says mama and dada too but I'm not sure if it's on purpose yet :) She can also clap, say hi and she is slowly starting to point to things.

Loves eating cantaloupe or strawberries through her strainer thingy

(I have no idea what it is technically called)

 loves to swing

 eating again...

 chillin'....

 hanging with Daddy

 playing with cousin Ethan's toys

 cousin Kayla put a tutu on her already :)

 clapping

 

 Gia was in an animal parade at school and mama made her outfit!

 loves bathtime!

 this is where we find her a lot...near the door stopper that makes noise when you flick it

 and her most favorite place right now is the refrigerator!

 we tell her no and she waves hi....she'll figure it out soon enough
