Carrot Face

Just wanted to share a few adorable pictures of Gigi's carrot face. She loves her veggies!

Swinging Fun

We have a great park that was redone last summer just down the block from our house. Giana is finally big enough to go on the swings and she LOVES it. Talia loves to swing along side her, and they are just too cute together. Here are some happy faces:

High Chair Time

Gigi was trying to do whatever she could to get out of the bumbo during her feedings, so I finally nagged Kenny enough to bring up the high chair from the basement. Here are some shots of her during her delicious oatmeal dinner, the first time we used the high chair. Doesn't she look so tiny in there?

We started her on some juice to help her *digest* better. She doesn't love the bottle though...

For some reason, she leans to the left side.

I love this pic--she is winking!

Happy 4th of July!

We had our annual 4th of July party today, and despite the yucky rain (ugh!), it turned out to be a great party. We love to have all of our family and friends over every year. We usually have a great turn out and this year was no different. Thanks to everyone for coming to celebrate! Here are a few pics of the day:

Gigi wanted Kenny's beer--that's my girl!

A happy baby girl.

Sisters--poor Gigi almost fell face first in the shot before this one.

Mundelein Days

Today, our family and Auntie Diane (Kenny's aunt (and godmother) and Gigi's godmother) went to Mundelein Days. Talia loved to go to carnivals last year, and she certainly loved going today. She remembered a couple of the rides and was adventurous enough to try some new ones.

The first ride she went on was the cars ride, where she *had* to have the purple car that she rode on last year too. She has such an amazing memory.

I took her on a bumblebee ride, which goes up and down.

Kenny took her on her first roller coaster, which she laughed the whole way through.

I love the way that they are looking at each other in this picture.

She wanted to ride the tea cups ride all by herself, (well, with a stuffed Scooby Doo.)

Finally, she wanted to ride the car ride again, and chose a motorcycle this time. She looked very lady-like in her striped dress. After the rides, we had dinner, had ice cream and played in the park. We had a great time.

Giana and Her Toes

As I told you in the "Giana is 5 months" post, Gigi has found her toes. It is so cute to watch her grab and reach for them. She is now trying to eat them too. It is so hard to change her diaper, as she will not let go of them when she is bottom-less. I love this stage!

Smile!

Just wanted to share some super cute pictures of the girls that are sure to make you smile. How did I get such cute girls?
