Oh Central Market, how we love you! Before Giada was born Central Market was Brad’s and my Friday night date. We had a great time walking around the store with a glass of wine and trying out all the free samples.

We would get to legitimately spend money because we were buying groceries. It was great! Now we bring Giada and she does really well. Most of the time she conks out in the Baby Bjorn. I think all the colors and sounds make her tired. On this trip we  brought her to buy her first baby food. We got Ella’s organic carrots in a pouch.

Poor Giada gets about zero tummy time and not a ton of time just by herself on her back as we are usually holding her. She will be in the pack ‘n’ play for a bit on her back but not enough room there to really roll around too much. I need to get some blankets out for the area by my computer so she can move around on the floor. Giada tasted peas for the first time yesterday and I’m not sure she knew what to make of it. I think we’ll try the squash tomorrow and see what happens.

Gia is already becoming more interested in toys than in people.  She loves to bounce on your knee, playing riding the pony Macaroni.  She does love her mommy better than any toy though.

I really don’t think there is anything in the world sweeter than a four or five month old baby. She is totally focused on Michael talking to her. Gia is already becoming more interested in toys than in people. She loves to bounce on your knee, playing riding the pony Macaroni. She does love her mommy better than any toy though.

We had a good Easter with Giada. She went with my mother, her cousins ane and Evie and Aunts Marissa and Maureen to the Dallas Arboretum Easter Egg hunt. Then I took her to the Ursuline Academy Easter Egg hunt.

Giada and her Aunt Maureen

This is my Aunt Maureen. I spend the night at her house sometimes on Saturdays. She is very fun and watches YouTube Videos with me. She also teaches me about my Irish heritage. Aunt Maureen knows lots and lots about our family history because she is an expert genealogist. She is helping me learn to understand words and is awesome about pointing things out and telling me their names. She also has introduced me to weeding. She can’t wait till I am big enough to help her! Aunt Maureen is big on having a good work ethic. She made my mom learn how to do dishes by hand when she was 4 years old.
