Fall Time!

It's finally Fall, and finally getting cooler here in Utah!  I love the cold weather, although trying to keep socks on Gia is a challenge.  I have already bought Gia's Halloween costume, which is some kind of fairy dress with a pretty head band, for $10 at Kid-to-Kid (a local children's consignment store).  I would love to be a crafty mom who makes her child's costume, but I've never learned how to use a sewing machine, so I had to buy her one.  She will look cute, though :o)

Gia is now rolling from side to side, and from her tummy to her back.  We are trying to give her lots of practice sitting up by using the walker-play station and the Bumbo (a great little seat that supports her back and allows her to sit up) so that she can build up her muscles and sit up soon!  She is starting to drool and chew on things... could we see a tooth soon?

Gia is a very happy baby!  Things started out tough, with the acid reflux and the torticollis (a stiff neck muscle), but her neck is now doing great, the reflux is gone, and she sleeps 9-10 hours at night!  I truly love being a mom and staying home with her.  We have created a sweet bond with each other, and I can't imagine a better feeling.  She sure loves her Daddy and saves special smiles just for him!  Bobby soaks it all up; he is smitten with this little girl!
