Gia LOVES her Nana (my mom). Like a little spritely shadow, Gia is always following her around. I'm getting used to being #2. This morning after Gia had some milk in bed with me, we were singing and playing. Suddenly, she heard Nana's hair dryer. Gia's eyes got big, she sat up straighter and went into alert ... YES! That is Nana. She quickly got on all fours (and I suddenly realized I had to get up). She crawled as fast as she could to the bottom of the bed, beating me there, and was so excited that she forgot to slow down, turn around and get down. Nope, instead, she crawled off, head first, flipped and fell. She was startled and cried a little, but I picked her up, loved her up, and brought her into the room next door. Gia forgot her upset as soon as she saw Nana in the next room. With a big smile, she looked at the snaps on Nana's pajamas.
I didn't get her back for an hour.

These Are A Few of Her Favorite Things
At 15 months, Gia is a happy, healthy, active, chatty, almost-walking, absolutely adorable and beloved little girl. Here are some of her favorite things!
In the Mouth
Berries, avocado, bananas, cheese, crackers, eggs, pears, apples, things off our plates, (and kale)
Binkies
Milk
On Her Own
Riding in her new "car" (thanks Shirreffs family!)
Opening and closing doors
Taking off her shoes
Emptying drawers and putting things back
Fridge Farm (thanks, Frane-Meyers family!)
Eating and reading her books.
Playing with balls
With Company
Being with Mommy, Daddy and Nana
Pointing to what she wants and where she wants to go
Hugging and patting stuffed animals (and her parents0
Touching trees, plants and flowers
Playing with other people
Being around other little kids
Listening to music
Dancin and Groovin
Being twirled
Clapping
Warnings to Visitors
Tearing open snapped tops (like Nana’s PJs)
Pulling up shirts and sticking her finger in the uncovered bellybutton
Blowing raspberries on smooth tummies
Whipping eyeglasses off the faces of unsuspecting people (well, maybe no longer unsuspecting)
Things we love that she loves
The food dance
Rubbing her tummy before a bath
Patting our backs
With a big grin, tossing her head back to expose her neck, waiting for kisses when we say, “Gia, where’s your neck?”

Long time no post!
As you can see it has been quite a while since we have posted. That has mainly been due to how busy we are. We have been taking picture though, so eventually they will be posted. Thanks in advance for your patience!
We thought that we would try something different to encourage us to post more. Instead of posting long blogs every couple months about everything that is going on with Gia, we thought we would try to do shorter more frequent posts. So here I go:
Gia is adorable as usual. In the last couple of days, she has been standing a lot. I wouldn't be surpised if she starts walking in the next week or two.
