Life

I know I have done a million posts about gianni, but I thought I might share a little bit of what's going on in our crazy lives too.

Today Domenic ends his internship with KPMG (for those of you who don't know KPMG is one of the top 4 accounting firms in the U.S.). He has been working his tail off, and I mean literally. He leaves the house at 7:15 am and doesn't get home until 8 pm (and that's if we're lucky). He has had quite a few days where he didn't get home until 11 pm-12 am not to mention that he worked EVERY single Saturday since January 7th. It has been a huge blessing for him to have gotten a paid internship, especially in this economy, but i'm happy it's over. Needless to say I am super super excited to have him be done, and home to hang out with gianni and I.

Also, Domenic got into the Masters of Accounting at the University of Washington! We couldn't be more excited for him. Right now we are waiting on BYU to respond to his application. It would be sweet if he got into BYU because it's the #1 accounting school in the nation, but only 3% of the people they accept are outside of BYU Provo so even though Domenic does have a 4.0 and looks AMAZING on paper, the chances are still pretty slim unfortunately.

As for me, I finally got out of the house and took a walk in the gorgeous sunshine with Gianni. I got one of those sleepy wraps so I can just slip him in and go for a stroll. Can i say that the weather in Boise is amazing?? It is rediculous, I mean really. It has been about 60 degrees for the past week. I am starting to get the hang of things and have been attempting to get Gianni on a schedule. We'll see how that works, so far he's resisting it pretty well. Once i get him on one though, I can hopefully turn into a human again. As of now I am still a nocturnal zombie.

All in all life is sweet. We are a happy family who are growing and learning together. Through all the struggles we find happiness, and through pain we are finding ways to laugh. Family is such a blessing and I could not imagine my life any other way. Heavenly father has blessed me with so much and I cam so grateful for that.

Gianni's stats

Monday we had Gianni's 2 month check up and first set of shots. Seriously I think shots for babies are of the devil but I know it will be better in the long run for him to have them. I say they are of the devil because I have never seen my little guy cry so hard out of so much pain, not to mention how cranky he was for the rest of the day. Luckily he bounced back to his happy little self by the evening time :)

Anyways, here are his stats:

Weight: 12 lbs 8 oz (75th Percentile for weight)
Height/Length: 24 inches (90th Percentile for height/length!)
Head Circumference: 15 3/4 inches (50th Percentile for head)

He is definitely growing like a weed and getting more and more rollie pollie by the day, which I absolutely love. I love a good chunky baby!

What Gianni's up to these days

Dear Gianni,

Although you are still learning how to take naps and fall asleep on your own, you do sleep 5 hrs at night, hopefully that will extend soon.

You have discovered your tongue and stick it out at people when they stick theirs out at you

You smile when talked to

You love your swing

You love ceiling fans

You hold your head up, although still wobbly

You HATE being alone

As long as you are fed, changed and burped, and have someone within eyesight you are content

You like to coo when people talk to you

You love faces, and will stare into my eyes

You are getting nice and plump

You have 5 cries (lonely, frustrated, tired, hungry, and bored)

You laugh in your sleep

You sometimes snore/sleep talk at night

You love bath time and will usually pee outside of your bath into the big tub

You LOVE being naked, it is the happiest part of your day

You fall asleep to the sound of the vacuum

You get super sweaty when you cry for a long period of time

As of now, you have mommy's eye, daddy's lips, a combo of both our noses, and daddy's dark completion (skin and hair)

We love you little bubby!

Baby pics!

Okay so I did something really really stupid, I packed up the cord that connects to the computer for our camera and sent it with Domenic last weekend to put in our storage unit when he went to take his Italian test at BYU-I.

So, pretty much I have a TON of really cute pics/videos of Gianni but they are all stuck on my camera :(

BUT when Domenic's mom came to stay with me, we went and got professional pics taken of Gianni. Here are a few:
