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!

Tooth Number Three

Giovanni's Valentine's Day gift to mommy and daddy was his third tooth popping through! He now has two on the bottom and one on the top. What a cute smile!
This little guy is all over the place! His main goal in crawling is to get somewhere that he can pull himself up and stand. He will be the happiest little boy when he figures the walking thing out. I think he has wanted to run since the day he was born!
Jeff and I are absolutely loving this stage. Giovanni has such a personality, and we love laughing and playing with him! What fun!
Please enjoy the new snapshots of our "G man" in action! :)

Crawling, Sitting Up, and so much more!

Wow!  So I am officially bad at staying updated on this blog.  Our precious little (or should I say big) guy has grown up so much!

Giovanni is now 7 1/2 months old and so much has happened since I last blogged.  Giovanni went from army crawling a few weeks ago to now full out crawling!  Not only is he crawling and sitting up like a big boy, but he is pulling himself up, too.  Yesterday he crawled up on Jeff to his knees, and then went all the way up to his feet!  He loves being up on his feet so much that I'm sure it won't be long before he's up and running.  I have pictures and video that I will try to post soon!

People try to tell you how amazing it is to be a parent.  But I can't even explain the love and feelings I have for Giovanni Michael.  Every second I spend with him is a true miracle.  He makes me laugh and he makes me cry.  I want nothing more than for him to grow up surrounded by love. I truly think I am the luckiest person alive to have such a sweet little boy in my life.
