Here I am with my Cousins Evan and Ava and Aunty Mia holding Baby G, Uncle Chris and Dada. 
I am so glad they came to visit us. We went on hikes, stayed overnight at Schweitzer Mtn. in Idaho, went to an amusement and water park, visited a petting and pony farm, swam at the neighborhood pool, lit off some fireworks, and had lots of fun playing! We are going to visit them in October! I can't wait! Thanks for coming to see us! 
My cousins Ava and Evan and Aunty Mia and Uncle Chris flew out here last week to visit us. We had such a great time! We went to a petting and pony farm and I am standing in a field of flowers here.
I hear all the time how I was such a serious baby. People still say that I'm serious now. Well, this should help change their minds about me now. 
And here's another silly face for ya! :)
Cousin Evan was enjoying the coolness of the grass. I am peering around to make sure he's alright. The Summer heat is finally here!
That looked like such a good idea that I am trying it out myself. It's a pretty relaxing spot! Evan has moved onto the big rock...a good place to sit and think. 
Yes, that's me squeezing my Baby Giana. We call her Baby G, G and now it's "G Dawg." 
Giana is having a good time, y'all! She is so generous with the smiles and coos like she has the best gossip in town! 
Giana has been sleeping 5-6 hour stretches at night. Mom feels great with all that sleep! :)
I can't believe Giana doesn't enjoy this as much as me! I love my baby sister so much sometimes that I squeeze her, but Mom says I use a little too much pressure sometimes. 
We made chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting with a raspberry to top them!
They were SO good! 
Giana wanted to get into the picture too. :)
I've been taking baths in the sink lately. It's good to change things up a little. Check out my crazy hair!
Check out those cheeks. They aren't quite as plump as mine were at this age, but they are getting pretty chubby. 
Dad is painting Giana's room. Giana has been sleeping in Mom and Dad's room in a Pack n' Play. She will move into her room in a month or so. 
Here's Giana napping on the couch. She loves being nestled and bundled up really tight. 
Grandma is still here helping us out. Thank goodness. I don't know if Mom and Dad could do all of it so smoothly. Well, they'll have to give it a shot. Grandma leaves Sunday. :( We are all dreading it. She has been such a HUGE help! (We thought we would take a picture of Giana napping with her butt sticking out. She is a good little snoozer.)
Here I am at a neighborhood park. I was in a parent/child preschool co-op on Wednesdays and yesterday was our last day. We had a park playdate with all of my friends. Next Fall, I start at a Montessori School. I can't wait! I talk about wanting to go to school all the time.
Grandma is doing what she does best here. Giana and I are getting lots of love and attention with Grandma here. Grandma takes me out on tricycle and bug walks daily. I love finding potato bugs (or roly poly), beetles, ants, worms, and slugs. 
Dad, Grandma, Murphy, and I went out to the Bowl and Pitcher for a nice Mother's Day hike. Mom stayed at home with Baby Giana. I picked a beautiful array of wild flowers for Mama.
Here's Baby Giana! She was born on May 5th. She weighed 7.2 pounds and was 17 1/2 inches long.
Here I am with Mom at the hospital. I'm holding Baby Giana!
This is Dad. He was really tired from having a baby. Just kidding. He was pretty tired though.
Here's my Baby Sister. I'm a Big Sister now! Mom and Dad are really surprised how wonderful and gentle I am with Giana and show no signs of jealousy at all. Of course not! I've been waiting for so long for my baby sister! I love her so much. (She's fresh out of the womb in this picture, so her nose is a bit squashed.) :) She's a cutie.
