Update- PICS!!!

I haven't posted on this blog in a while, so this post will be loaded with pictures and captions.

Gianna is 3 months old and time is flying by so fast. We love every second of being her parents, and she is such a joy and blessing in our lives. It is the coolest thing watching her grow and learn and figure out new things. We love it!!!

Gianna started showing signs of teething a few weeks ago. She constantly wants to chew on our fingers, her toys, and her own hand. She balls her hand up into a fist and tries to eat it. I'll have to get a picture of that soon. It's so funny!

Gianna loves playing and is very alert. She loves her toys, but she loves playing with us and talking more. She is not camera shy at all, and whenever you bring out the camera she is ready to pose. Future model?
Gianna still LOVES the water. She usually takes one or two baths in her tiny tub a week, and at least one Jacuzzi tub a week with Mommy and Daddy. It's one of our family "play times". On the nights she's not in the bath or Jacuzzi tub showers with either Mommy or Daddy.
She will spend up to 45 minutes in the Jacuzzi at a time and would probably stay in longer if we let her. She kicks and floats and has figured out she can splash. Splashing is very messy when she takes one of her baths in the portable tiny tub, because we put it on the counter in our bathroom, and by the time she's done we have water all over the mirror and counter. Haha! She's so fun!



Gianna mastered tummy time a long time ago, since she has always had a very strong neck since birth, but now she LOVES staring at herself in the mirror. She stares at the people holding her in the mirror too. She smiles a lot and talks to your reflection, as well as her own. I think we will have a social butterfly on our hands. I'm just glad she's not shy!
Gianna likes to hold toys and cuddle with them now. She grabs things and swats at them and plays with them, and has been for a few weeks now. She's so smart!
Hmmm....should I eat my fist or the hippo's ears? How about both?

I love my baby!

We went to Florida to visit Gianna's Italian side of the family in September. Gianna went in the pool for the first time and she loved it. The water was warm and she loved her float and ladybug bathing suit that our family bought her!
We took her to the ocean and had a mini photo shoot there. We took a TON of pics. Good thing digital cameras were invented, or we would have spent a ton on film during this trip.

Aunt Donna made Gianna this Lei to wear at her first beach outing. Gianna loved the ocean and putting her feet in the sand. She was very patient with the hundreds of photos we took of her, even though it was nap time!
Nonna visited us in September, and was here for 4 or 5 weeks I think. Gianna and Nonna are so cute together, and they love singing old songs. Nonna sings and Gianna tries to sing along. It's adorable. Gianna talks to Nonna on skype now that she's gone. This picture is of Gianna, Nonna and Daddy talking to Papa Artoor.
