Picture Updates

Someone has a very big birthday coming up and we can't believe it but we are so excited to celebrate! In less than 2 weeks Giuliana will be O-N-E! Until then, I thought I'd leave you with a few picture updates of little miss G!

 Baby girl got her ears pierced (finally) a couple of weeks ago. She cried for a second, until she saw there was ice cream waiting for her :)

My sister throws a Shark Week party every year, so what else would we do to get her in the spirit besides add a shark fin to her headband?


 She is so close to walking! She really isn't a fan of the grass, so it has been really helpful in letting her stand on her own because she doesn't want to crawl. Once she figures out how to pick her feet up off the ground and go forward, we're in trouble.       
Giuliana sat in a booster seat at breakfast and looked like such a big girl! She also tried to climb out and talk to the people sitting in the booth behind us.

This is a typical night in our house. Every toy scattered around the living room and she's sitting in a basket that is wayyyy to small for her.

That flowers' got nothing on her headband.

Sooo close!!
And this is a new one. Practicing her yoga?

Eleven Months Old!

 Yep, it is that time again already. Eleven months??? Every time I turn around another month is gone. I'm already seeing Halloween and Fall décor making its way into the stores. The holidays will be here before we know it! Well, Giuliana has been impressing us more and more each day. She is really starting to pick up on everything and trying to repeat what we say. I think she also has a sixth sense. She knows when I'm in the kitchen getting her bottle ready or when I open to container of Puffs! Before I can even hide the evidence she's sitting at my feet giving me the stare down. She recently starting putting a couple of words together too and Karl and I can't even take it! We can't believe that her first birthday is right around the corner and it seems like every day that passes she develops more of her own personality. Amazing! She's gotten her first pedicure, loves being tickled, is obsess with books, uses us as a jungle gym when we play with her on the floor! This kid is one of a kind  :)

Month 11 Accomplishments....According to Mom & Dad

*As I mentioned, she is starting to say more words and repeat what we say to her and most recently she has started saying: "what is that?" "Who's that?" "Thank you" "Kitty cat" "Hot"

*She is starting to be able to understand what we are saying. For example, she received a baby doll as a gift and when we ask her, "Where is the baby?" she looks right at it and when tell her to "Go get the baby" she goes and gets her, and the best part...when we say "Give the baby love" she holds the baby and snuggles her! Adorable.

*This girl is basically running around the house with her walker. It is the cutest thing to watch her walk straight into walls and then turn around and look at you, waiting for you to turn her around so she can keep on going. It won't be long and we will really be in trouble.

*She's recently started trying to come down the stairs, which is extremely scary and intriguing all at the same time. You can tell she's really trying to figure out what she needs to do to get down. I would give anything to know what goes through her mind!

*Giuliana absolutely loves animals! (However, not all of them feel the same about her) She gets so excited when she sees dogs and cats. Her excitement, of course, is what scares them away but it still so fun to see her try to catch up with them as they run away from her. When we took her to the Birch Aquarium she stood at the glass and screamed the whole time.

Life with this little lady gets better every day. Her smile and laugh are infectious and we can't get enough. Happy 11 months Giuliana!
 







 

Life Lately

Our life lately has been a little busy over here, but who's hasn't? Summer is in full swing and this heat wave has landed us at the bay and in the pool countless times. With no AC, where else would we go! Giuliana is getting so big so fast and she keeps us busy and entertained with her endless amounts of curiosity. Here are some recent pictures of our girl!




Oh yeah, and she recently discovered she could do this with the toilet paper...
 


These baby rolls...I can't even!

And who doesn't love playing around in the dollar section at Target?
