Breaking News!

So as you have probably figured out, my blog is more of a once a month "brag" update for our favorite little man :). This one is full of news! This 10th month is turning out to be huge for little (or should I say big) Giovanni!

This past Thursday evening, as our little guy was trying to get over yet another ear infection, our sweet boy took his first three steps! Yes, I realize I should have video or pictures of this but I don't. He was walking from me to Jeff... I didn't think he would keep going (because he usually doesn't), but those little feet just kept on walking all the way to his daddy's arms! I then ran around the house like a crazy person trying to find my camera. Of course Jeff and I tried to get Giovanni to repeat his big steps but he then figured out what was going on and held on with all his might when I tried to let go. There are many occasions where he is standing for like 15 seconds on his own. I'm sure it won't be long before he lets go and then we are trying for the rest of our lives to get him to hold on again!

Other new feats are that Giovanni is definitely saying "kiki" for kitty and is also saying "hi." He is saying "dada" and "mama" as well. All of those sounds have been coming for awhile, but have recently really had meaning. Jeff swears that Giovanni said "bye-bye" and waved this weekend to him. But I won't believe it until I see it! :)

Please enjoy the pictures of our little guy enjoying lots of fun time.

Also, SAVE THE DATE!!!! Giovanni's 1st Birthday Party is scheduled for Saturday, June 6th from 4:00-6:00 at our house. I will send out invitations soon!

Spring Break

So we just got back from Chattanooga about two hours ago. Giovanni is asleep...hopefully it will be a good nights sleep! Jeff, Giovanni, and I traveled to Chattanooga, TN for a little Spring Break trip. We were hoping for some warmth and sun....didn't really get that, but we did have a great time spending time together! We rented a little house up in the mountains and right on the river. The view was really nice. We did some sightseeing while in Chattanooga...We took a train ride up Lookout Mountain. That was gorgeous. We also went to the Tennessee Aquarium and then to a Children's Discovery Zone today. Out of all those Giovanni loved the discovery zone the best. There was a place for him to crawl around and play. And then there was a huge "wet zone." Giovanni sure took the words "wet zone" to heart! Pretty much everybody that walked by looked at him and laughed. The little guy was soaked from head to toe. He was splashing, laughing, and loving it! Thank goodness I brought an extra change of clothes for our little wet man. We are excited for spring and hope the warm weather is just around the corner for us all!
