Talia looses her first tooth

Talia was thrilled when she first noticed that one of her bottom teeth was loose. She wiggled and wiggled it until finally it was so loose that it fell out while she was drinking from a sippy cup and accidentally swallowed it. She sadly wrote a note to the tooth fairy which said, "I'm sorry I swallowed my tooth. Here is a picture of what it looked like. Love, Talia" The tooth fairy happily gave her $5 for her first tooth. She happily bought a special wand with it, as the money was burning a hole in her pocket!

How cute is she???

Giana Turns Two!

It is hard to believe that my baby girl is 2! We are so blessed and lucky to have her in our lives. She makes us laugh everyday! She is so much fun!

Here are a few fun facts about Giana at 2 years old:

**She has lots of words and phrases and repeats everything! Some of the funny things she says are: “I not a baby", "never ever ever" (like never ever ever say that, or tell me no!", "stay over there". She is feisty—has a lot to say—"you not do that…you go time out!" She has a lot of attitude! She is usually so sweet to Talia (and Talia is very sweet to her) and she is a big daddy’s girl—she loves her daddy!

**She loves books—the push button ones, the lift the flap ones, the touchy feely ones, she has a few of them memorized too—Big Red Barn, Dear Zoo, Tumble Bumble, Hug, and many Dora books.

**She loves to watch videos on her “computer” the portable DVD player—recently, she loves to watch Dora, Strawberry Shortcake, and Miss Patticake Easter DVD.

**She counts to 1-13, 15, 16, 17, 19 can id red and yellow, but not consistently, counts 1-10 in Spanish

**She is getting much more picky about foods and likes to sit on you lap to eat. She will eat red meat, sausage, some noodles, bananas, turkey, ham, grapes, and cereal. She is much less willing to try new things now

**She wears underwear most every afternoon and does fairly well—an accident can happen, usually once Kenny gets home! We'll get there...soon!

**She still uses a paci, although we are getting more strict as she can have it in the car an in her crib but not all the time when she is walking around the house; she loves her blankie just as much as she loves her paci—both girls love their blankies!

She is the sweetest, happiest baby girl with a lot of attitude!

We had her 2nd b-day party at the YMCA in the Gym. There was a big bouncy and the kids got to run around the gym playing sports, and jumping til they were exhausted! We all had a great time!
