She's off the charts!

Gia had her 1 month check up and she is off the charts! No surprise, I know since she was off the charts at birth but I was surprised she gained 2lbs and grew 2 inches in 1 month! She weighs 11lbs 2oz and is 23 1/2 inches long. She is laughing and cooing and having lots of fun with her big brother and all her visitors!

Fun with Friends & Family!

We've been having lots of fun since mom has been on maternity leave.  We spent time at the park with Francesca and Anna, went to Herseypark with Noah, Max and Gabriel and had lots of fun at the Autism Picnic and a surprise weekday visit from Granmom and Grandad!

  Gabriel, Max, Jack and Noah had a blast at Herseypark - Jack keeps asking when we can go back!
