Whew...what a weekend!

Well, since we last updated we have been so busy! Wednesday night was so exciting with Gianna just starting to crawl...and we have gotten to witness it so much since then too. I am glad because sometimes you hear of babies who try crawling and decide that they're not that into it and just hold off for cruising and walking. Not our baby! She is a crawling machine. Each movement is still very calculated but she is starting to pick up speed especially when she notices a forgotten sandal, watch, cell phone, purse, etc. She is so cute. She also loves to crawl up to the ottoman and climb up it to standing. It is very fun to watch her readjust over and over until she gets to standing.

Thursday we started Baby & Me class with Livermore Parks and Rec. It is especially fun because there is a 10 month old in the class named Peyton who is a very quick crawler and Gianna loves to watch him. I also forgot to mention, in recent playgroup news that Gianna grabbed Ryan's tooshie and tried to give Hayden a big Kiss/bite all in the same day. Watch out boys she's a wild one!

The weekend was great because Gianna's Grandpa and Grandma B came to visit and even stayed at her house! It was great to have them here and to spend some time with Gianna. Today (Sunday) we had a BBQ at our house with both sets of grandparents, the Thompsons and the Mathews. It was fun to have a big group here and we love entertaining at our new home. Gianna also loves playing with Jadyn and Cole (especially their hair and trying to get their cookies). She also loved playing on the floor with Jadyn, Cole and Grandma C and her big pink ball. It was very fun to see that Gianna is finally getting to be old enough to start to play with the boys.

This weekend we also had some time to put some finishing touches on the decorating of the house. We finished our family picture wall in the living room and I finished the curtains for Gianna's room (white eyelet with a very subtle lavender ribbon). I am glad that they are both done and very happy with the results. We also decided on the curtains for our room and decided to go with the more plain curtains. Sorry for those of you who voted for the tasseled ones, but Justin Vetoed them saying that they were way too girly. Ha ha!

Well, that's all for now, I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Love,
Jessica

Cute! I want to see the curtains for your room now. How cute to watch Gianna crawl and try to stand up. AH -- I love that age.
