*********************************************
Just to catch you up on a few things...

• Gianna has become increasingly interactive within the past few weeks. Just this morning she had a whole conversation with Aunt Monica on the phone. We've heard a few little giggles within the past few days with the best little smile, it makes your heart melt.
• Gianna had her first shower this past weekend with Daddy. Although she didn't smile during it, she wasn't crying either. We want to her enjoy the water so we made sure to put her face in it twice and she did great. Incidentally, we are signing up for Aquababies through the local indoor pool which starts in January. (We can't wait to buy her a bathing suit).

Again - for you picture fanatics, sorry! There will be a bunch after the Thanksgiving holiday.
