Big girl

It has been a long time since I have posted pictures.  We were all over the place for awhile.  I started working the first week in May and Jason was out recruiting my first two weeks of work.  The third weekend in May, we went to Atlanta to visit the Palermo family and celebrate Nick and Kelsey's college graduation.  Memorial day weekend, we went up north to the UP with the Beinlich family and spent a night with the Wams in Milwaukee.  The third weekend in June, we went to Nonnie and Grandpa Big's on the farm.  This past weekend, we were in GA at Casa BaNana II for Jim and Katie's five year reunion and Reese's arrival party.  

Giabella started crawling on my first day back to work.  She got her first tooth a week ago (the upper left).  G eats most solids by herself, and refuses to be fed by spoon from time to time.  She loves dancing to Adele Radio on Pandora, pushing boxes around the apartment and climbing on everything.  Gia claps, waves hello and goodbye, does "so big", signs milk, points to her nose, and gives kisses.  She points out the baby on her highchair box, stands alone when she is focusing on something else and loves pulling her books off the bookshelf.  What can I say, she changing everyday, now just over 10 months old.  Here are a few pictures from the past two months.  Looking back, I can't believe how much Giabella has changed!

It's blurry, but I think this photo is so cute
it was just after she started pulling herself
up on everything.

Not a huge fan of her old car seat...

G deep in thought on the boat


Giving the cute baby a kiss

Liking the new car seat

Now pulls herself up on everything

About to go on a walk with Gma in the UP

Such a sweet sleeping baby girl

Probably yelling in this photo...loudly

Saving some puffs for later

Happy 9 month birthday Giabella!

I started working in the beginning of May, and for the month of May, Kassi, a friend of ours, took care of G during the day.  Kassi and Chris just left to move back to MN, so as a surprise for Jason and I before they left, they took Giabella and their daughter, Harper, to get their pictures taken.  Jason scanned the pictures in, we love them!
