Giana at 16 months

The days have flown by since last month, and Giana continues to amaze me with all of the new things that she says and does each day. She is almost poop potty trained. She will tell you when she has to poop and I'd say that she goes on the potty about 50% of the time (or she will tell you just after she has gone...) We'll work on that more this summer. Can't wait!

Giana has the sweetest and softest voice when she talks and sings...but NOT when she is screaming on the way to school everyday! She loves to sing now. She'll join you in singing Happy Birthday or the ABC song, or Old McDonald had a farm. She is constantly chattering. She is counting to 10. She will name many items including paci, bear, shoe, purse, cup, ball, car, bankie (blankie), key, geese, phone, baby, etc. She loves babies and playing in the pretend kitchen. She loves to talk on the phone. She loves to walk around with keys and purses. She loves animals and calls them all "baby." Earlier as we walked to the park, so saw some ants on the ground and she leaned over and said "hi baby" to them. It was pretty cute!

She loves to give hugs and kisses and will say "ahhh" when she hugs you and "mah" and smack her lips together to kiss you. It is SO CUTE!

She continues to eat and sleep well. She loves meat--especially "ha dogs" and "chickie." (hot dogs and chicken) On the weekends now, she will sleep from 7:30 or 8 to 6:30 or 7! Hooray. It has taken a while to get here, but it feels good to sleep in 'til 7, and sometimes later, if Kenny lets me! You can't help but laugh and smile when Giana is around!
