Nice visit is always too short

Gianna said bye-bye to her cousins and spent some nice time with Grandma Greco as we prepared to head home...






Gianna loves to jump...













...and gave Grandma Greco's arms a good work out...





...and then Gianna threw her head back in happiness...

















Then they winded down with a little reading.

Christmas Time

Santa made it to the Greco Househould and all of us (particularly the little ones) were very excited and could hardly sleep the night before!


Gianna had lots of smiles visiting with friends and family and was so cute in her Christmas Outfit.

Merry Christmas!!!

Gianna is having a great time visiting with her cousins in Spokane...


Big cousin Nick has been very sweet to Gianna.


Millie loves her little cousin Gianna too!


The cousins took a ride on the historic Looff Carousel in Spokane which is celebrating its 100th anniversary.


Gianna loved all the songs and lights.

Merry Christmas to all!

Euchre...

We had dinner with Cousins Luke and Mamie. Gianna was introduced to the Brunner Family Tradition of Euchre.


Gianna and cousin Mamie teamed up with Luke against Mommy and Daddy...


...Even though Daddy had TWO successful Loaners...


...Gianna's bold stratagems along with Mamie's Counsel were too much for Mommy and Daddy and the cousins and Gianna were victorious! ;)



...and Gianna makes the CUTEST Polar Bear we've ever seen...

Moving on up...

Gianna finally outgrew the chair in which she ate her daily cereal...


...and she seems to enjoy her new high chair...


...but eating is still serious business to Gianna...


...and she is usually satisfied when she's done.

Tis the season...

Gianna is getting into the holiday spirit...

...She had her first visit with Santa...


...and celebrated with a yummy meal in her special bib.

5 Months!!!

Gianna continues to do well and today we celebrate her 5 Month Birthday. After a few weeks of reconnaissance, Gianna took her first few sips from Mamma's water glass and She was very excited about it.


We recently took Gianna to her first UNC Men's Basketball game at the Dean Smith Center.


She really seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and followed the action on the court. She didn't like the "substitution" horns - maybe because she didn't agree with Coach Williams' substitution decision?...or maybe because the horn was just too loud for her tastes.


The Heels won and Coach Williams earned his 600th career victory - Congratulations Coach!
