hangin out

my babies kickin it this sunday morning

Happy 1 month!

I can't believe Jay is already one month old today! He and Elle are a handful but they get along just fine so far. He is eating around 4 oz every 3 hrs and weighs around 9lbs. Everyone asked who he looks like and I think he looks like Elle. I included a pic of her at 1 month old to compare.



Elle at one month. What do you think?

Happy Halloween

Here's some pics of our Halloween fun. On Halloween night we went to the Clayton house and got all the kids together to trick or treat in Canebrake. We rode in 2 golf carts and hit up a few of our favorite houses. The kids were unsure of it all at first but after one house they got the hang of it and were loving getting candy. We were all covered in sticky drool by the time it was all over.

Fun Weekend

Thought I would post some pics from this weekend. I took Elle to the movies on Saturday for her first time ever. We saw the Lion King 3d and she LOVED it. She was sooooo excited. I don't know what she loved the most-----popcorn/coke/candy or the movie. She was scared at first but quickly warmed up and was loving it. After Simba's daddy dies in the movie she kept asking where his dada was. Finally, we just settled on that he was asleep and she accepted it and moved on! Sunday, we went to the fall festival at canebrake. There was lots of good food, petting zoo, pony rides, and a jumpy house. She did it all except for that pony! She sat on it and then wanted mommy to ride on it with her! I told her I was too big for that pony so she was scared and wanted off. Oh well, maybe next year!

Oh Sister

Just thought i would document what all our big sissy has been up to. Since Jay's arrival at our house Elle has been off her rocker. I guess you could call it the terrible two's, potty training, and new baby all in 2 weeks has gotten to her. Saturday night I saw water coming through our ceiling so i ran upstairs to find her surrounded by water in her bathroom. She flushed some toys down the toilet until it overflowed. She just looked at me and said " I did it. It will be okay though." She is throwing those rolling on the floor fits and whines too. She also begs me to hold her and wants to be treated like the baby. Hopefully this phase will pass fast but until then thank goodness for "Dora" dvds and extra TLC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's here!

Joseph Michael Gianola, III born at 11:34am October 13, 2011. 7lbs 4oz 19.5 inches of sweetness! More pics to come later!

Well, in exactly one week Elle will be a big sister if all goes according to planned. I am scheduled to have baby boy Gianola next Thursday so i thought i would post some pics of his room. Elle is so excited and talks about him all the time. I wonder if she will feel the same way when he goes home with us. Elle started potty training on Monday this week at her school and she is doing awesome so far. She had one accident monday and tuesday but NONE on wednesday and thursday. She has gotten it down now and is telling me when she has to go instead of me having to ask her! So proud of her and can't believe it was that fast.
