Gianna 15 Months

Our "babycakes" is now 15 months old!  She on the move and doing very well keeping up with big sister.  It is fun to see them play together....when they aren't fighting. :)  I have her weight/height update.  She was seen for her well visit today at the doctor and weighs 18lbs 9oz and is 29inches.  That puts her in the 3%-tile for weight and 10%-tile for height.  "Babycakes" loves to eat, so we aren't quite sure where she is putting all of that food.  It makes a difference once they start moving....running, I should say.

Isabella is still enjoying preschool.  Today they had their Thanksgiving feast.  According to the teacher, all the kids wanted to eat was jello, the rolls and cookies.  Not surprising for 3 year olds.  She told me this morning that she was excited to go to school so her "friends could see me".  :)  I wish I could have been there today to take pictures.
Isabella has also been asking to sit on the potty.....finally.  Well, it would be great if she actually went into the potty.  She is smart.  She knew that if she "tried" to go, then she would be rewarded with a jelly bean.  That was great.  But, after about 6 times of sitting for awhile, reading books, and no "potty", I told her that she would not get a jelly bean unless there was something in the toilet.  Wouldn't you know that she is no longer asking to sit on the potty.  :(

Her are some recent pictures.

They LOVE bath time together!

This is what Gianna likes to do while I am getting ready.

The 1st attempt at sitting on the potty.  Gianna will probably go before Isabella does.

Fall 2011-Part 2

As the end of the month of October 2011 was drawing to a close, so was my Dad's fight with Parkinson's Disease.  On October 24, he finally went to heaven and is now rejoicing that his body is free from disease!  As much as we all miss him, we can't help but praise God for ending his suffering.  We love you Dad!  I will always share your love of laughter and love for your family with your littlest Granddaughters!

Now to share some pictures of fall festivities.





Do you think Gianna was having fun?  :0)

Isabella only wanted to ride this horse, after Gianna did it first. 

We got back to Colorado just in time for Halloween.  Gianna dressed up as a bumble bee and Isabella is Koko the train from a Disney cartoon called Chuggington.  Isabella really got into trick or treating even more this year.  We went to a few houses with Jackson and Hailey, on their street.  Then we went to some on our street when Anthony got home from work.  It was a beautiful evening.
