i can't believe that in just 2 short weeks Gulianna will now be three?! she is still the same little girl, just a bit older and taller! she loves to be with me in my scrapbooking room and help me with whatever i'm working on, she likes to look at every little embellishment i have. she's a good 'helper girl'...she helps with the laundry, loading and unloading the washer/dryer, putting clothes away, helps with dishes, picking up her toys & organizing them, she does just about everything! she always says 'mom what are we going to do today?' and i say 'i don't know, what do you want to do?' and she shrugs her shoulders and says 'i just want to have fun' ! that's my Gulianna! she loves to go shopping, we always go to the toy sections in every store to 'look' at the toys. i remember earlier this year, instead of wanting to go look at the baby dolls, she told me 'mom, i don't want to look at the babies, i want to look at barbie dolls, isa wants to look at the babies! Where did that come from! Her favorite shows are still Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Max & Ruby, Hannah Montana, Wizards, and Zach & Cody.
this was her 2nd birthday party last year...
i can't believe how small she looks, yet back then she was still such a big girl!
hitting her pinata that grandma & grandpa brought!
and look how small Isa looks! she was only 6.5 months!
Gulianna checking on her little sister!
opening birthday presents...
then we had to move her to the trampoline, because everyone was crowding around and couldn't see...
{uncle Anthony helping with her presents...we were happy he got to come home for a little while, in between his tours in Iraq & Afghanistan}
and those shoes that Grandma gave her no longer fit her growing feet!
but that didn't last long...everyone still joined in :)
she got 'princess dishes' from uncle RJ! she plays with them everyday!
and we finally got to put this Hello Kitty toaster to use! i bought it for myself for Christmas 4 or 5 years ago? and then decided to wait until we had a little girl to use it! Levi despises it...because 'his toast is getting jipped on not being toasted where the Hello Kitty face imprints on his toast!' lol!
And here is us attempting a family picture with our birthday girl, who just wanted to play! why is it so hard! i just want one good picture!
We are now getting ready to plan her third birthday party! I hope that this baby won't come yet and spoil Gulianna's special day!
