Some quick pics

Here are some quick pictures from part of our stay in Madison.  I haven't had much time on a computer, so I have been pretty bad at uploading pictures.  We are currently in Tennessee visiting the Palermo side of the family and I will put some of those pics, as well as others from our Wisconsin trip, up later. 

This is how I got the hickey...

Not too excited for my kisses

But now she is happy

More smiles

We got a smile!

Miss Giabella is smiling all the time now, but I can never seem to capture it on camera.  Of course, when my Mom was watching her, she got a picture of her smiling.  So here it is!

More shenanigans

Here are some pictures of Giabella, up to her usual shenanigans...that is what happens when her and I spend so much time alone together.

Just chillin' on her boppy...awkward smile

Dressing like her Aunt Steffi...jeggings and all

Gma and Abby came to visit for a long weekend.  We walked by the lake, ran errands and watched football.  Another exciting weekend in the Rouge.  It was really nice to go on a long walk.  Giabella hasn't been a huge fan of going on walks in her stroller, so we tried with her in the carrier and she loved it.

Brisk walk in Baton Rouge

We got back to Madison on Thursday and drove up to MN on Friday for the weekend to visit family.  Giabella was very excited to meet many of my Aunts, Uncles, cousins and her only Great Grandfather.

Watching the Packer game...Gbell loves
her some football.  Good thing with it
being her father's profession and all. 

Taking a bath.

First cold winter walk

Walking is tiring, she fell right asleep, even in the cold.

I know this next picture looks like I fell and hit my chin, but no, it is a hickey.  I was holding Giabella, when all of a sudden she starts sucking on my chin.  My mom and I thought it was funny, so she went to grab the camera.  So I let Gbell continue until my mom took the picture....and now I have a hickey on my chin.  More shenanigans!

Yep, that is a hickey
