Catch up!

I realized that Gianna's Birthday is less than a week away and I haven't put up any Christmas pictures yet. Shame. I say that I'll do it after she goes to sleep, however, I usually fall asleep too!

First, here are some pictures from our day at Brookdale playing. This is a nice play area, when it's open! Gianna loves playing here. She climbs like she's a monkey!

1.Braving the slide

2.Ridin' the froggie!

3.Look at her go! she did that all by herself.

We spent our Christmas day at home! Sri & Vivian joined us. We had a nice day. Gianna thought opening gifts was pretty cool. Once she opened something she liked, she didn't want to open anymore.

After lunch, (burnt pizza, yuck) I went to bed so I could work the overnight. It was super busy! When I got off, we left for Wisconsin. Gianna did such a good job with the long, long trip!

4.Cousins! Amy is the first name that Gianna learned!

Gianna had such a great time with Grandpa. Gianna was standing in a storage tote. She and Grandpa played ball. Grandpa rolled the balls to her and she threw them back. she laughed and laughed! She loved it!

Our girl is almost two! Where does the time go? She does more than cry, puke, pee and poop! She talks, she walks, she terrorizes the cats. She puts dishes in the sink, throws away trash and can take off her own clothes and can almost dress herself. What a difference a year makes. I love this stage of wonder and curiousity.

Her most favorite thing right now is Curious George. It is the first thing she asks for when she get up. I wonder why she likes him so much? We watch the movie at least once a day!
