Gia - 11 months!

11 months!! It's so hard to believe we are planning Gia's 1st birthday already!! She is our little spitfire! She's always on the move, in everyone business - not sure where she gets that from, lol! She does get it honestly :) She loves climbing on everything, especially the dishwasher - this makes Daddy really mad and Mommy laugh. She's loving every minute of eating table food and she should be no problem to ween from the bottle since she's not a big fan. She LOVES her big brother, he's getting a bit over her wanting to play with his stuff but hopefully that too will pass. As you saw in previous posts, she loves the water, sand, and being outside. She is still babbling pretty good too - Daddy said she said "dog" the other day and we are pretty sure she says "Jack" - not super clear yet but soon enough.

she doesn't want just a little piece....must have the whole thing!

 

so over the bouncer!

 

loves spaghetti!

 

 

she was eating a tomato like an apple

 

Dewey 2012!

We spent an extended weekend in Dewey with the Schwab's and Wiland's. Jack and Gia had a load of fun with their cousins. We hit Jungle Jim's water park, the Rehoboth boards, Funland and spent lots of time on the beach! We missed Uncle Joey and Aunt Kristin this year :(

 FUNLAND!

 

 It rained Saturday morning for a little while. Thankfully Aunt Michelle brought crafts for the kids!

 

 

 

 Gia loved the sand - she had it everywhere including her mouth. Mama actually even pulled part of a sand crab out that she was munchin on, so gross!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

We celebrated the 4th with the Woody's again this year! Uncle Bryan and Aunt Ali have the perfect spot for watching the catonsville fireworks! We were unsure if we were going to be able to stay but Gia was a trooper and ended up falling asleep on Daddy and slept through all the BOOMs of the fireworks!

all the pretty girls!

 

 

 uncle Bryan but them to work selling water - next year they'll have an entire concession stand!

 

 Kylie doesn't like the sound of the fireworks so she had to where her brothers 

monster truck ear protectors :)

 she slept like this from more than an hour!

 

Hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th!!

Gia - 10 Months

Only a week late posting Gia's 10 month update - not too bad :) As most of you know, she is a hand full! Always on the move, not walking yet - why walk when you can crawl super fast?! She eats just about anything we put in front of her. She had her first taste of french fries and ice cream this month - and loved them of course! She is still babbling the same few words - mama, dada, uh-oh, na na (not sure she is saying Nana or No No. She LOVES the water, bath or pool, doesn't matter to her and she loves to play peek a boo and walk behind her dinosaur! And I don't know what it is about our kids but they will not stay away from the yucky dog food!

 

 

 

even when she isn't in the tub she loves to play around it!
