Lucky To Have Great Friends

Molly and Genevieve came over to go for a walk with us this afternoon. First, Gena (2) read a book to Gianna. It was precious.

I missed the best moment they had today though. Side-by-side, in their matching strollers, the girls were holding hands. I knew I should have brought my camera “just in case.”

Reading

Books are among Gianna’s favorite things lately. She wants to read them, touch them, and chew on them. Grandpa read the Puppy book with Gia tonight while she felt the different textures on the pages.

Non-mobility

Ryan, Vito, and I are very fortunate that Gia is still immobile. Deep down inside, we can’t wait to see her cute, little butt moving around though. Here are some attempts to get Gia going.

Sunday Sunshine

Ryan, Gianna, Vito, and I enjoyed all 66 degrees on Sunday afternoon!  We did some work around the house and went for a long walk.  Gia seems to love being outside.

Swim Swim

Gianna loves swimming.  Uba and Grandpa came to watch and play.  With some encouragement from Uba, we decided to dunk Gia.  She did great!
