Gianni's First Halloween

Saturday the 30th our ward put on a trunk or treat which was super nice because as we all know, Halloween was on Sunday this year :( so no trick or treating around the neighborhood for use (although we probably wouldn't have gone to any houses other than people we know just b/c Gianni is still pretty young, and I feel kind of bad trick or treating for candy he can't eat).

I was really curious how he would do with all of the crazy costumes, but he loved it!! Actually, at one point our relief society president was holding him while he was sleeping so that we could eat, and she was dressed up as the shrek princess (name?), and I mean REALLY dressed up, like green face and the funky ears and everything. Gianni woke up in her arms and didn't even wince. This kid has zero stranger anxiety, even for green-faced strangers!

Halloween we turned on some spooky music to add to the outside decor for trick or treaters and even though we didn't go out, we though we should still hand out candy, I mean they were going to ring the doorbell anyways and make the dogs go crazy.

We dressed Gianni up again so that we could take some pictures and show him off to the trick or treaters. Now, for the pictures...

Ignore me in the background, please. Focus on that cute little facee.

And he found the piano....

Happy 1st Halloween Gianni baby!

I am still alive, promise

In case you are wondering if I am still alive, I am!

Between moving, trips, and family my time has just.. i don't know... dissapeared? And I am so sad that I have been such a terrible up-dater, especially since so much has changed!

Here are a few updates to hold you over unil I find my camera battery charger (yes, along with many things we have recently misplaced...my brain being one of them... we have yet to find our camera battery charger so we can post some seriously adorable pictures of Gianni)

Gianni has 2 teeth! and yes, he bites.

He walks around with this little toy car that is baby sized and has a handle (did i mention it plays music and he likes to dance to it??), but is too chicken to stand on his own.

He is a teething maniac and will chew on anything and everything (have I ever told you my theory on how babies are just like puppies??)

He is a pro crawler and especially enjoys crawling everywhere he isn't supposed to be (like the stairs...yikes)

Domenic is officially into his Maters program at UW

We are living with the Sanelli Parents for the time being and are so grateful for their generosity

We miss all of our friends back at BYU-I (you know who you are)

I love being back in Seattle, but miss my family a lot

So, there you go... for now. We are still around, we have just been trying to get settled in and now that we are I really have no excuse (other than the fact that I should be spending my free time sleeping...If only babies were born sleeping through the night and never woke up at 1, 3 and, 5 a.m.-any suggestions?)

They call me spike

Although Gianni is still working on growing his hair, it is just barely getting long enough to spike. It spikes really well in the back, but we might have to wait a little while for the front haha. I love seeing little boys whose hair is spiked or gelled, I can't wait :)

New hair

I just cut 9 whole inches off my hair last night!!! Was it scary? Oh yes, but it had to be done. Ever since I had Gianni, my hair has been falling out like crazy (and I mean like chunks of hair all day every day) and my hair was looking pretty drab so I chopped it all off! This way when it grows back in I wont have the dreaded mullet look...hopefully. It's fun, I never though I would like my hair this short, but its a nice change, especially since summer is rolling around the corner (hopefully). ( P.S. If anybody reading this is in Rexburg I highly recommend going to the girl I went to! If you are interested I'll for sure give you all of her info.)

 

Full of giggles

Apparently headbands are hilarious, at least to this little guy :)

Bath Time!
