Isn't she cute (the hair is a little crazy, though)

Gianna had fun playing with Daddy earlier in the day.



Gianna has been doing this thing lately where she bites her lower lip. This example is not quite as dramatic as normal, but you get the idea.

Talking

Gianna spent time talking to the couch today.

All Dressed Up

Oops...we cut daddy's head off!

Excited to be dressed up...especially the red shoes!

Mommy and Gianna. She looked cute until she threw up all over the dress (Gianna, that is).

Six-month old baby

Gianna can sit up by herself.

She has graduated to the "big" bathtub.

Yesterday Gianna went to her 6-month MD visit. She weighs 13 lbs 13 ounces (10th percentile) and is 26 inches tall (70th percentile). Her head circumference has increased as well (16 and 1/2 inches; 25th percentile). I thought maybe it was because her puffy hair was falsely elevating her head size. The doctor thought that was pretty funny.

In this photo her head looks oddly destorted. I swear she doesn't really look like a bobble-head doll in person.

Happy baby

Winter Wonderland

Gianna and Aunt Beth.

Snow is really pretty when you don't have to live with it all winter.



Back at home in Houston in the sink.

Wisconsin Visit

Mommy and Gianna in Wisconsin.

Cousin Evan and Gianna in the snow. Gianna thought it was pretty fun.

Cousin Gabrielle.

Evan being "snowball face". I managed to catch an eyeball.

Gabrielle and her snowman. She said he was complete once he had the top hat of snow.

More of Christmas.

Pint-sized chair for the pint-sized girl.

Learning how to open presents.

Who needs this ribbon?

What a great gift!

CHRISTMAS IS HERE!!!!!

Mine...all mine!

Gianna today.

Look at all the hair! It is actually starting to look a little crazy to have so much hair on a baby this small.

First Christmas Celebration (Dec 21)

Greant Grandpa, Great-Grandma and Hanna.
Great-Aunt Karla, Tricia, Great-Aunt Lynda, Gianna and a great Christmas present. Gianna was very excited to get a horse to play with. Curly is still a little big. That is Kellee in the background.

Mmmm....yummy.

Xmas Photo

We took Gianna to see Santa Claus yesterday and decided to take a family photo afterwards. Apparently she wasn't in a smiling mood.

Santa's Little Helper

Gianna has been prepping for Christmas. Apparently she will be pulling the sleigh on Christmas Eve.

Hug me

Gianna and daddy playing--she looks like Gianna in headlights. Check out the chubby legs--quite a difference from her early weeks!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

The last few days

Gianna on Thursday after the Packer game. She insisted on wearing her outfit to bed.
Gianna today--we bought her her first headband. I was never into the headband look prior to now, but I think it is so cute. For some reason, in these photos I think Gianna looks like a housewife from the 1950's.

Here she is taking a break after slaving away all day in front of a hot stove.

More of the cousins

On the last day they were in Houston, Gabrielle and Evan posed for pictures with Lil' G. They definitely loved meeting their newest cousin. Luckily, we get to see them again in a month.
Gabrielle and Gianna were both watching TV while posing. I don't remember what show was on, but it was fascinating.

Evan and Gianna (showing off the double chin).

Last weekend was very exciting for Gabrielle and Gianna. We all go to meet Elmo in person (or should I say in monster)!! Gianna was fascinated by his fur while I looked like I had been drugged prior to the meeting.
This was at the health sciences museum. Gianna was learnign how to be clean while sitting in a sink.
Gabrielle, like most girls, loves horses. She got to meet and brush Splash while in Houston.
Uncle Matty with Evan and Gabrielle.
