When did this happen?
I just looked over admiring my sweet baby and realized she’s not a baby anymore. Gianna knows how to play with the play kitchen we gave the kids for Epiphany as she puts a hotdog in the pretend microwave. She brings us books to read her now more than the other kids. She loves to dance as you might recall from the past video. She decided she doesn’t like green beans but carrots are good. And she’s talking! She’s 16 month and saying more words than either of her sibling were saying at this age. Her vocabulary includes: dada, mama, hello, bye, up, down, go, fish, apple, nana (for banana), wawa, eyes, nose, toes, shoes, duck, neigh, cheese, sock, bear, ball, and flag.
Our littlest one is grow up too. But she’ll always be our little muffin.
And a little angel she is. Love Grandpa
Aww…I feel so sad that Gianna is so old now, and we’ve only seen her twice! Isn’t it a joy though to see how much she’s growing and flourishing from having older siblings? I feel the same way you do. Kolbe seems to be talking better and earlier than the other kids ever did. I think it’s because he has two other people to talk to besides me.
He doesn’t rely on me as much any more since he’s all grown up at age two, but he still needs me to kiss his “ouchies” to make them feel better. Hey, I’ll take what I can get!
Miss you guys!
I saw Gianna a few months ago and she couldn’t walk. Then, I saw her the weekend before last and she was walking and mumbling words. One day she’s a sack of flour being carried around like a liberal high school parenting program, the next she’s a fully baked muffin.
