Another studio test

I needed a model for our new background and posing stools. Luckily, Giovanni volunteered.

Snow!

We had some crazy snow (at least for Georgia) this weekend. We didn't have a good snow coat for Giovanni, so he wore his lion costume. He liked the snow at first but soon got wet and grumpy.

These were from the evening before when it was still snowing pretty good. Giovanni is standing well now, and he can walk a few steps before falling down. I haven't been able to get it on video yet, but as soon as I do, it will be up!

Just some moments from our lives

Giovanni's first sweet- a snickerdoodle (he liked it)!

These pictures show two things that Giovanni does that I want to remember when he gets older. First, he always has that little cloth with him. It used to just be at bed time, but now he wants to have it all the time- when he's eating, when he's walking, when he's playing with something. If he needs both hands to hold something else, no problem! He just puts the cloth in him mouth to hold while he examines whatever is in his hands. I still don't have a good pictures of that, but hopefully I'll get it before he stops.

Second, he very frequently crosses his legs when he's sitting. In his high chair, you can usually look underneath and find his little legs crosses just like this. Here he's "helping" dad make an omelet.
