10 months old

You do not stop going! Our little energizer bunny!  I tried to take some 10 month photos of you this morning and these were as good as they got; you holding the remote, moving all around with your Minnie Mouse.  =)

Your FIRST Thanksgiving

Today was your FIRST Thanksgiving! We started the day by going to visit Grandpa and Grandma Cook.  You had fun playing and showing off all of your new tricks; clapping, pulling up and cruising on everything and mimicking our sounds. After you had a nap we headed to Nana and Papa's house.  We gave you a little sample of everything and let you have at it!  You LOVED the food.

Sick little G

This week was not the best week in our house!  After the past week of Jen, Nana, Daddy and Mommy being sick, you came down with a horrible sickness too!  

You had a fever, ear infection, respiratory infection and a sore throat according to the Dr.  Poor baby!  I hated seeing you so miserable but I did take advantage of the extra cuddles, because now days you are too busy playing and crawling and cruising to cuddle with me.

To my Angel Girl

Gianna,
  You are getting so big so quickly.  You amaze me everyday!  Today you were playing with something and I asked you if Mommy could have it and you gave it to me.  Then you reached your hand out and I gave it back to you.  It was such a fun game and I thouroughly enjoyed watching you "give things to mommy".  Each day that passes my love for you grows.  It is so hard to believe all of that love fits in my heart! I love the way your smile lights up the room and everyone that you smile at smiles back at you.  I know that your sweet and innocent smile makes not only my day but the days of complete strangers.  I am so lucky to be your Mommy!  Seeing you grow and learn is truly the greatest accomplishment of my life!  I love you to the stars!

Mommy's 28th Birthday

Over the weekend Mommy celebrated her 28th birthday!  Nani and Papa took us out to dinner to celebrate. You were so funny, definitely entertaining the waitress and the other people around our table.  Here are some pictures from our dinner at Stroud's!

The next morning we kept our celebration going and had a yummy breakfast at IHOP.  You ENJOYED a little bit of everything Daddy and I ordered.  Here's a picture of breakfast!
