Aunt Mindy & Uncle John Visit

This weekend has been nice. Temperatures have warmed and it seems the March winds are blowing already. Could it be that spring is here? Oh I hope it is! Georgia and I will soon begin our gardening. I've been day-dreaming about showing her roses since before she was born. :)

Aunt Mindy and Uncle John Juan visited their most beautiful niece on Saturday. It was so good to see them. Aunt Mindy made Gigi giggle from the moment she said hello. The Minds just has a knack for making people smile. Uncle John played patty-cake with the G-ster and she loved it, although she was a bit shy at first. Georgia also entertained them with her new rapid nose blowing trick. She picked this up when she had her cold. It is fairly ridiculous and I wonder how long she will continue to do it. I hope long enough for me to catch it on video-- I need to get that thing up and running!

Marmi also visited on Friday & Saturday. It has been way too long (two weeks) since we have seen her and Grandpapa Jim. Thank goodness they wanted to babysit on Friday. It gave me and Rodolfo a chance to go out on the town (but boy were we tired by 10:00 PM-- who would have ever guessed that such a time would come when 10:00 PM seemed late).

Well, kisses to you all. It was good to see you!! Come again soon.

Valentine

Georgia reached her 6 month yesterday on Valentine's Day. I did not realize until this month that she will always reach her half birthday on this holiday. I find this fact delightful. Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday followed closely by July 4th.

We are currently battling a cold. Rodolfo had it this weekend and the beginning of this week. Now we've caught it. Hopefully it won't be too severe. I think there should be some benefits left from breastfeeding. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Other news... Gigi is now kind of sitting. Above is a picture of her froggy stance. It is so adorable to see her sit and look around. She is also starting to wave. A few nights ago Rodolofo was saying "Hola Gigi" and waving to her, and then, to our astonishment, she waved back. Since then she has been waving a lot. She even waved to the pediatrician when she came in the room!

I love this girlie! She is my angel.

Grin

Gigi has been grinning like never before. She is starting to babble syllables in a row... still no definite mama or papa just yet though. Her abs are getting stronger and she can sit up assited -- she holds on with only one hand! Soon I guess she will be sitting without help. She is very happy that Amy had Jake. Now she has another friend to play with and date!! :):) Welcome to the world Jake Butler! Here are some recent photos. She is 5.5 months in these pictures.
