I cannot believe Gianna is one year old.  We had to go to the doctor on Friday before her birthday because she had an ear infection.  Gia now weighs 17 pounds 1 ounce, and grew an inch in just the past month.  She is 28 inches tall now!  That puts her in about the 12th percentile for her height and weight.  Dr. C was very happy with how she is growing and gaining weight.

For Gia's birthday, her Aunt Anne and Uncle Kyle wanted to take her to the Indy Children's Museum.  What a great birthday gift!  I love the idea of giving the gift of a memory!  There was a "Going to Egypt" exhibit that made the day especially fun.  We pretended like we were going to see Nana and Papa Sam.  I was amazed at how true to life the depictions of everyday Egypt was!  We took a million pictures (ok, really just 134) but here are just a few of the best ones.

She's hillarious.  This is her personality that is just budding!

 After the Children's Museum, we went to Yatz's for an early dinner (YUMMMM) and then The Flying Cupcake for- what else?  A birthday cupcake!  Here are some phone pics of that. 

She used my dark-wash jeans as a napkin for her white frosting-covered hands.

Mmmm Yatz cajun food!

It was a beautiful day filled with many priceless memories.  My heart was so full.  I can't think of another day this past year that has been so perfectly wonderful and enjoyable other than the day she was born.  Thank you Aunt Anne & Uncle Kyle for making memories with us!
