Gianna is 6 Months Old

 

 Mom, I would rather be eating my toes that taking these pictures!

 Please mom, I'm tired!

 I need a nap!

Gianna is already 6 months old! A few things about her...

* Gianna wears a size 2 diaper and is wearing 3-6 month clothes.

* She is 27.5 inches tall (96th percentile) and weighs 16 lb 13 oz (61st percentile.)

*She LOVES eating her fruits and veggies. She's liked all foods so far, but isn't too keen on bananas on their own.

*She's still drinking her Neocate formula.

* Her favorite toy is her duck.

* She loves to bounce.

*She is an expert and blowing raspberries, some of which are extremely sloppy!

*Gianna loves to be sung to.

* She's mastered the art of rolling to where she'd like to go.

* She's working on sitting up by herself.

*Talking is on of her favorite pass times.

Halloween Dinner

We had "mummy dogs" for Halloween dinner.

ARRRRG MATE!!!

The kindergarten teachers were pirates for Halloween this year. We made a grand entrance to greet our students and may have scared a couple.

Trick-or-Treat

Since Kenosha changed their Trick-or-Treat to the day of Halloween, we decided to make our rounds early. Ava was a tomato (her request since the summer) and Gianna was spaghetti and meatballs.

 We stopped at the nursing home. Grampa and Auntie Florence were there. Gramma was visiting so we made one less stop. Auntie Florece is the oldest Zarletti family member at 100.5 years old and Gianna is the second youngest at 5 months.

 We stopped to see KK and Josh and went across the street to Tammy and Joe's.

Painting Pumpkins

KK and Ava bought some pumpkins to paint when they visited the craft fair at my school. Those two little pumpkins and some paint kept her busy for awhile!

Fly, Butterfly, Fly

I found some caterpillars on some parsley that was brought in from the garden. We put them into Ava's butterfly house and one of them made its cocoon. A couple weeks later it came out and we had to release it.

 We had to give this guy lots of encouragement to fly away. We never actually saw him go away. After quite awhile we left him on the porch to fly away when he was ready.

Happy Birthday, Grampy!

We went to the nursing home to see my Grampa on October 16th. It was his birthday, so we brought pizza to celebrate. He got a kick out of the girls and enjoyed Gianna's bouncing and squeals.
