Baby #2: 19 Week Update and Fun With Gianna

This week went by rather slowly so by the time Friday rolled around I was more than ready for the weekend. We started it off with picking up Gianna a little early so she could come hang out in mommy's (messy) office while we waited for daddy to pick us up. She loved all my colorful post it notes and had a fun time meeting everyone and having her snack at my desk. 

The Boss

Another thing that has us laughing lately is the way Gianna eats her pancakes. Did you know there are only two edible pancakes on this plate? "Mommy, I have a big one." Apparently, only one bite of each pancake is allowed and then they are tainted. LOL! She will eventually eat the "little ones" but it takes come coaxing.

We are going to start potty training Gianna soon. She has a bunch of potty books and a little Minnie Mouse potty that she likes to play with. In preparation, Nana bought her a bunch a fun panties to get her started. She has Elmo and Minnie and a whole bunch of others. She insists on wearing them (and we put them over her pants) and she is just soooo proud of herself. She hold her shirt up to show you and says, "My panties, mommy. I have Minnie Mouse panties."

She has also been picking out some of her own clothes. Hence the Italia shirt and black patent leather shoes.

This weekend brought some fun family adventures at the Gilcrease Orchard right across from our house. We love living on this side of town! Gianna had a lot of fun picking apples, running around in the maze and riding in the big, covered wagons. They were pulled by tractors all around the orchard.
