20 months+...

My baby is so close to turning 2 it isn't even funny. I'm so not ready. Although I am looking forward to putting together a fun birthday party!

Ah...where do I start? I'll admit it, usually I brag about my baby who is so smart and funny and adorable. Because she is all these things, duh. (Ok, yeah. I'm a bit bias).

Right now she's a sweet pea. She loves to give hugs & kisses. She runs up to me about 10x's a day and says, "HUG!.....KISS!". Aw, love her. She loves to snuggle on the couch before bed (which she has moved back bed time to 9pm. I can.not get her to bed before than, so I gave in. That's her new bed time...for now).

She also have a soft spot for the men in her life...Grandpa Scott, Grandpa Borst, Uncle EJ and Dad. Why the men? I have no idea. She pretends to talk to EJ on the phone a few times a day though. It's pretty sweet.

She is still a talker. She makes sentences now (although they aren't grammatically correct all the time!). She'll say..."GG watch Bubble Guppies". Or "Daddy catch me!" Or "GG snack here". (Meaning, I'm going to set my snack here). She's a crazy nut and I love her.

The other day she was singing "Thank you Lord". (Ya know...thank you lord for making ME!) It was more like..."Thank you lord. Monkeys in jungle. Who who who. Thank you...ME" But I loved listening to her little song.

She also loves to help. Everything is "I HELP!". We've had to get a bit creative with her helping. She likes to 'help' with dinner by getting ingredients out of the fridge. Or while I cook she 'washes dishes' in the sink.
I hate to say it, but I'm kinda ready for that stage to be over. 

And dare I say, she's actually been really good. No tantrums, no fits.....she likes to put her toys 'back', she's a good listener, etc. Such a 180 from a few months ago. I'm crossing my fingers and saying my prayers this good behavior sticks around....

Enough with the chit chat and bragging (hey, it's my blog. I can brag if I want to!). Here's some cute pics of my sweet babe.

Cousin Brynlee and Gianna playing


Gianna and I at Monkey Joe's

She put her pants on all by herself;
and their backwards ;-)

I had to sneak this sweet picture
Jeff surprised me with cake from my favorite
bakery. G and I dug right in!
Gianna in her big girl bed (still working on that dang quilt....)
Jackson and Gianna 'washing dishes'.
Kinsi has been sleeping with Gianna.
It's so sweet...maybe Kinsi has figured out Gianna
is here to stay, so she may as well be nice to her!
