The joys of a 2 year old (I've put all of these videos because they are all hilarious, especially the one where she starts to pick her nose):
(This is also what Gianna decided to do today *instead* of napping...lets just say I didn't mind too much)

Underpants!
Here are some photos from our trip to target this week to pick out Gianna's underpants for when she finishes potty training.
Lining them up so she can decide which ones she wants.
All lined up.
She picked the princess ones.
Standing under her "potty chain" (yes, those are underpants on the wall...at the end of the chain).

Connor 4 month Stats!
Connor had his 4 month check up on the 21st and he weighed 14 pounds 2 ounces. He was 25.25 inches. He can now roll front to back and back to front and sleeps through the night (most nights we get 6 hours straight). He isn't a great napper unless he's in the bjorn, we're out an about or he's in the swing...but he is a pretty happy baby.
Pixieland
Last weekend we headed up to Concord to visit Pixieland with our friends, the Eisenbies. It's a cute little amusement park with about 7 or 8 rides. Gianna is no doubt a product of Justin and I because she loved the rides (of course this could also have something to do with us taking her on EVERY ride we could at disneyland or maybe it's because we put her on rides in Santa Cruz when she was barely 6 months old, who knows). You can tell how excited she is if you just look at her expressions. Connor liked watching Gianna and her friend Sophia go on rides and he loved riding the train with everyone.
First are duck pond pictures and a video. Gianna loved feeding the ducks and geese and we were lucky enough to see some baby ducks and even a few turtles.
Here Gianna is waiting for the train to go by.
And a video of her waving as it went by. This made more sense to her when she got to ride the train and wave to passers-by.
We rode the carousel first.
Then Gianna rode the cars with Daddy.
Next we all rode the train.
Then Gianna rode the airplane.
Gianna went back on the cars with Mommy.
And finished up the day by riding the carousel again with Daddy and Connor.

Connor's first solids.
After we got the "Okay" from Connor's Dr. at his 4 month appointment, we went ahead and started introducing him to solids. At this point he is just learning what it feels like to have a spoon in his mouth and he is learning how to swallow and not force everything out of his mouth (a natural reflex). He seemed to like being part of the action at dinnertime and getting to eat like everyone else.
Ardenwood Farm
Our playgroup recently took a trip to Ardenwood Farm for toddler time. It was so fun: the guy running the program was great with kids, and he had a fun schedule for them. We had story time and then the kids learned about growing and harvesting corn for animal feed. They even got to crack the corn and feed it to the sheep. At the end we all got an ear of popcorn to bring home and pop. It was awesome and I recommend it to everyone.
Gianna liked seeing the peacock walking around when we got there.
Storytime.

Downtown Livermore
We headed to downtown Livermore to hang out on April 19, Gianna loved playing with the fountain and we all enjoyed some sunshine.
Picnic Day
On April 18th we headed up to Davis for Picnic Day. I hadn't been feeling great, but Justin and Gianna were going up there with Johnny so Connor and I decided to tag along. We were glad we did because it was lots of fun and I even got to see some minor celebrities (Toni and Dallas from the Amazing Race).
Watching the parade.
Gianna trying her first rice crispy treat outside Plutos. The verdict: she's still not sure.

Planting Beans
In Gianna's preschool class they made little greenhouses (super fun and easy project: Just dirt, bean seeds and a little water in a Ziploc bag taped to the window for a few weeks). When we brought the new plants home from preschool she could not wait to transfer them to our gardening beds. Of course she didn't mind that it was a zillion degrees outside (okay, it was really only about 95), but she did get to wear this cool hat!
