Hanging out in L.A.

Taking a ride on Cali's shoulders

Sleepover at Abu's house - what fun!

Cheese!!

We went up to L.A. to visit my family in September. Giana loves hanging out with her cousins Cala and Natan. Cala is so fasinated with her younger cousin - she is such a great help too! Giana just can't get enough of them.

I can sit all by myself!

At 6 months, Giana started sitting all by herself. Now, at 7 months she's on all fours trying to figure out the hand-leg coordination. We better start baby proofing the house!

Eating food is fun!

Well, at 6 months Giana starting eating solids. We started out with brown rice cereal and she loved it. Now, we've moved on to sweet potatoes, apples, peas and bananas. What's next? She loves making raspberry sounds when she's eating, which means the food goes all over Mami and Papi. It can make quite a mess, but it's lots of fun for Giana. :)

Look at me at 6 months!

Giana is now sitting in her stroller like a big girl. She can now see the world, instead of staring at Mami & Papi. She loves running with us and going to the zoo.

QT with Grammie

Grammie flew in from Arizona to spend the week with Giana in August. She watched Giana all day as I had to go back to work. They had a lot of fun together reading, swinging, singing and just hanging out.

Giana meets her Great Grandpa, Papa

Giana's great grandpa, Papa made a special trip from St. Louis to meet her in August. He spent 3 days with her and enjoyed every minute. One of his wishes was to meet a great grandchild. Mission accomplished! :)

Summer Fun

It's been awhile since we've posted. We've been busy enjoying our summer with Giana. She has been to the beach, the pool, the farm, the park, and the zoo. She loves being outside. I wonder where she gets that from. :) Here are some fun pictures of Giana this summer. We can't believe how much she is growing!
