Monday update

Saturday John took me shopping. AWWWWWWW What a sweet man!
Why shopping? Because as he said: It's like your body has changed every three weeks for the past year and a half. From gaining a unmedically advised amount of baby weight to now that I'm only 5 pounds off my pre-pregnancy weight- I needed new clothes. Grandma and Grandpa Ludlow and Aunt Lisa all came to watch Baby G. She had an off day. Not cause they watched her- but because she has been battling- lets just call it an unpleasant stomach bug. She had great time going for a walk with Grandma and playing with them all. But as Aunt Lisa left she said- Just one picture a day, that's all I need. So here it is:

a little late in the day, but hopefully it will help all you Gianna addicts get your fix!
Look for her 10 month photo tomorrow!

Look at her crawl....

Fast Crawl

New name

I've been trying to convince John that we need a new name for our blog. A catchy name that's cute and fun. He kind of agrees, but has already laid down the law-
Nothing that's a play on our last name. Like Ludlow's and Highs.
But you know what- I can't think of any thing. I know I know- Baby Ludlow is just fine. But I guess I want something catchy. What do you think? Can you help me? Or should we just leave it alone?

I'll leave you with a picture of Gianna and her FIVE teeth!!!!!!!

Happy Halloween

For Halloween we went to our church's fall festival. They have a small carnival or games and jumping things for the kids. We had a great time with our Little Pumpkin. She was a hit and got to see lots of her baby friends dressed up as lions, cowboys, minnie mouse, and lots of pirates. She was amazed at seeing all the costumes, colors, sounds, and weird looking parents. And best of all for me, Dad, they had 50 cent hot dog night. mmmm

We have a few more pics on our web albums. Charissa did a great job making her costume and it was worth every minute of effort. Great Mom and great baby makes a heck of a fun Halloween.

This week...

This week Gianna has become a super fast crawler.
This week Gianna has almost eaten dog food 3 times.
This week Gianna ate 4 unidentified objects before mommy could fish them out.
This week Gianna is trying pasta for the first time.
This week we went into Gianna's room to find her on her knees and her hands holding on to the crib like she was in baby jail.
This week Gianna pulled to stand on Mommy.
This week we lowered the crib!
This week Gianna is trying very hard to get some more teeth- resulting in some crabby/upset times.
This week we put on long sleeves, pants, socks and shoes, a jacket AND a blanket for our morning walk.
This week we enjoyed a fire in the fire place.
This week it will get back up into the 80's
This week Gianna will dress up in her pumpkin princess outfit so look for some more pictures on Thursday!!!!!

It's finally Fall!!!!

That's right folks- It's fall. It was highs in the 60's yesterday and 71 today. The lows at night have been in the 50's! Wow cold weather.
My dear husband let me break the "Halloween winter clothes switch rule" because last year at this time I was wearing maternity clothes. Now I needed some warm clothes to wear!
Change is in the air. Leaves are falling. Crisp air is blowing. Here is fall!

More Pumpkin Patch

How can you not get enough of this? We went to Dallas this weekend to see our family. This pumpkin patch had a petting zoo, hay ride, horses, and of course a pumpkin patch. Gianna had a great time. She particularly liked the ponies and her cousins jumping up and down. Our little girl makes most things all the better.
