2.5 YEARS OLD!!!

My little girl is halfway through her second year and she has become quite the character! 90% of the time she is a joy to be around, some times though she can be a little diva and by little I mean HUGE! It is amazing the things she can do now and how much she TALKS! We can basically have full on conversations now and it is so funny. She also remembers everything now. I can tell her what we are doing tomorrow before bed and she wakes up and asks me. She loves Jack and is so so cute to him. She helps me keep him entertained, breaks her food into the tiniest pieces so he can eat stuff and they play together so cute. When he sees her he LIGHTS up, giggles and smiles. I love how close they are already. Here are some more fun facts about little miss Gia :)
