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

Memorial Day Weekend!

We headed to Rehoboth with the O'Malley's and Calvert's for another awesome Memorial Day weekend! The weather could not have been more perfect! We were able to stay for 4+ hours on the beach each day - thankfully little Ms. Gia was a trooper and took a nap both days so we could enjoy it! We headed straight for the boardwalk on Friday to hit Funland - Jack and El had a ball as usual.
 
 
 Not sure if you can see but they are holding hands running to the next ride...too cute!
 The kids adore Todd & Jess - they are such troopers for hanging with us at Funland!
 yep, she even smiles when she is sleeping :)
 Grotto pizza for dinner! well not for Gia hence why she has this crazy face goin' on!
She is a WILD one!
but so super sweet too....
beach day #1 - so far, so good
 I don't think so dad - that water is WAY too cold!
 accessing the situation as always...
 hmmm....let me see how this taste....yuck!
 sleepy time....lets pray she does this on our next few trips to the beach!
 I tell ya, the boy has a charmed life! 
What better than chillin' under the umbrella eating Thrasher Fries!

 mama and daddy got a little crispy on the first day so we had to cover up on day #2

 heading to the pool for more fun!
 
 Gia's first time in the pool....she loved it!
 looking goofy with his goggles!

 El and Jack had a little dinner date all by themselves on the deck - they sat out there talking and eating like 2 old people for an hour!
 she's cruisin!
 We left the O'Malley's and Calvert's and headed to see Grandma and Grandad for the night
Jack can't get enough of the playground
