Cookies!! and a quick Gia update :)

Grandma had carpal tunnel surgery so she couldn't roll the super thin sugar cookie dough like every other year and since Aunt Dana and Momma can't roll it as perfectly as she can, we decided to make an assortment this year! Slightly less messy too :)

We started with a photo shoot since the little ones were in a good mood....

Here is a quick update on Gia - she's almost 16 months! Daddy likes to call her "Monster" but that's not very nice so momma prefers "Honey Badger" because Gia does what she wants...haha!

She is pretty wild compared to Jack - she climbs on everything, has a fit when she doesn't get what she wants, and wants to do everything herself.  She eats and sleeps great (hope I don't jinx us!), says lots of words and can actually follow directions pretty good too (when SHE wants too).

She loves feeding the dogs and she carries the food from the closet near the front door, all the way to the kitchen without dropping :)

 loves sitting at the table like a big girl

 and climbing up and shaking the back of the chair like a wild child

 loves rough housing with her brother....

 loves brushing her teeth :)

 and lately this is what i get when I try to take a cute pic...she just runs toward me because she wants to hold the camera!

 

 and she loves her rocking Elmo
