Half Birthday!

I can't believe it has been 6 months since Gianna was born! They grow no matter what you tell them. Gianna loves to suck her toe and laugh and she even sits up on her own for a few seconds here and there. She loves bathtime and skype and walks and never wants to miss a thing. She follows me around the kitchen and has even started to reach for a drawer right after I use it. So cute. And I have given up thinking she looks like me at all.

I give you, Gianna Marie Laskowski (aka Jacob Junior).

This face is just hilarious.

Outfit provided by two lovely ladies. Top by Emily and pants by Claire. 

PS. When Emily gave us that shirt after Gianna was born, I though she was going to be 6 before she would fit into that huge shirt.

Enjoying life like always. 

Sitting up momentarily.

PICTURES!

Mom sent me some pictures. Yay!

Having fun with Grandma 

Ooooo I love Uncle Ty

Sebastian being cute

Mom taught Sebastian to point to the church when she asks "Where is Jesus?" Adorable.

My absolute favorite! So precious.

Sebastian practicing being a gentle big brother.

Ugh. I could just squeeze this picture. 

From Home to Home

I left home to go home last Thursday for a week. My parents home will always be my home but my new home is with my new family here in Colorado. It can get confusing.

It was a great trip. I got to see my Great Uncle Father Larry, my Great Aunt Mary and cousin Barb, my in laws, and my entire immediate family except for Amber, who just arrived back from Haiti the day after I left!

I don't have any pictures to post because I didn't have my camera with me. But we took a few on my moms camera. So you will have to trust me that it was a beautiful and much needed trip!

Back to the daily grind of cleaning and trying to get Gianna back onto a normal schedule. She is exhausted today!

Love at First Bite

I gave Gianna her first taste of food yesterday and it was kind of funny.

So stinkin cute

She is almost crawling. She can get up on all fours but can't figure out how to make the move.

Gosh can you tell who I am in love with?

You Might Be Lonely If....

I was inspired to get out and meet some people this morning when I caught Gianna smiling and giggling with the little girl from the Target diaper box. She really liked her.

She did make a friend with an 8 month boy named Modestus though. Here they are having a little arm wrestling rumble.

And the following I couldn't resist.

I miss you grandmas!

I caught one of those huge smiles! Usually the camera distracts her.

And a few more of the house for those of you trying to decide if you should visit or not.

This is the guest room! :)

Jacob's pride and joy

The tour is incomplete without the peach bathroom!

Golden Gate Canyon State Park

We bought an annual pass to the Colorado State Parks a few weeks ago and have already been able to visit four of them! Jacob made this video (sorry it's a little long) to keep you up to date with how much Gianna is growing and to show you how beautiful it is out here!

We've agreed the next video should be much shorter.

Have you ever thought about...

....the wild language of our times? Seriously. I skyped with my friend and she said she just got a droid. Afterward I checked to see if she blogged about it but she didn't. My facebook feed said another friend got a blackberry. I needed a new cell so I googled them and somehow ended up on ebay buying an iphone. I took a home video after I got it and sent it to youtube. Now that is something to tweet about!

Kind of funny if I may say so myself.
