First Vacation

Week vacation to Aruba


Our room


Loved the pool


So happy in the cool water, temporary relief from the hot sun


Didn't like the beach


But she loved being outside in her bathing suits


With the entertainment of the night


Baby got phat


So grumpy, waiting for food


But smiles when the camera came out


On the Renaissance Pier


Waiting patiently for her food


The shirt we didnt get.

Look a like

Giselle looks so much like her sister in these photos

Her little facial expressions too

I guess she has more McGraw in her than I thought

Birthday Invite

Sickness

Giselle got sick for the first time at nearly 11 months old.
She had a very high fever for a day, with no other symptom showing. She went to the doctor and we found out she had a small ear infection.
She is now taking antibiotics and doing a lot better.
She has been a little more sensitive, but besides that and a little loss in appetite, she is a very good girl while sick, sleeps well and extra cuddly.

Little talent videos

Here are some videos of Giselle about a month ago when she started learning little tricks.

She clacks her tongue whenever she hears someone else do so.

Claps every time she overhears someone else do so, or when asked.

First Christmas

Christmas breakfast

Surrounded by presents

Like mother like daughter

She got lost in the wrappings

Singing along with her maracas.

Our family portrait

Loving the camera and attention

First Snow!

Home sweet home!

First time being in the snow, just look at that happy face. And finally a picture where you can see her teeth.

It was so cold this day, felt -15 F with the wind, we were only outside for about 40 seconds, to snap a few pictures.

Visit to Houston

Saying hello to Aunt Kellye's dog Rockye.

So obedient, listening to Aunt Kellye.

Waiting to head out the door, cuddling.

Such love!!

Thanksgiving

Had her first Thanksgiving, we already had the Christmas tree up.

Sorry about the recent lack in posting, I will try to catch up and keep up.

Grandpa McGraw came back!

First Date

Getting dressed up for her date.


Meeting Vincent (1 year old)


Giving love.


Sharing toys.


Making beautiful music.

With her Mamas

New Actions

Giselle now starts dancing when she hears music, and trying to sing along at times, as you can see in the video. She did get distracted a bit as I took this video from my webcam and she could see vain little self.

My love

My little lamb in her princess dress.

She has her new nursery, here she is her first day playing with Daddy, I love her excited face.
Photos of her nursery coming soon.

Sounds of Music

Giselle loves the piano, loves when people play it and when she can be there to beat on the keys as well.

But there is more sound when she stomps on them, stronger legs.

8 Months

Giselle turned 8 months on October 25th.

As she didn't have a doctors appointment, it took a while for me to be able to weigh and measure her.

So at eight months and a week and a half:

27 1/4 inches

14 pounds 8 ounces

Little friends

Alyssa was here with us for three months, and she left on the 31st.

Au revoir, mon petite ami.
(Yes, Sam, you can correct my horrid French)
