Just a quick update

I just thought I'd mention that I did post some more pictures in the Pictures section last week. There's like 75 new pictures and after posting them, I did realize that they are almost all the same with a few outfit changes here and there so I apologize. But you should consider yourself lucky, I narrowed it down from the 370 that were on my camera. 370 pictures since July 3rd... That's a lot of pictures.

Things are going well, my time at home with Gianna and Jamison is going by way too fast. Gianna's already smiling and holding her head up pretty well. And I swear she's so close to laughing. Sometimes she'll get so excited when she smiles that she makes noise, but it's not exactly a laugh. And last night was wonderful. She slept from 10:00pm till about 6:00am. I don't expect it to continue, but I'll take that schedule anytime!

Well, on Friday we are attempting a road trip. We are taking Jamison and Gianna and Kody camping to the Black Hills in South Dakota. We're meeting Jay's family there and they haven't seen Gianna yet and it's been awhile since we've seen them so we're really excited. I've heard a lot of people tell me that we're crazy to go camping with a newborn, but I think it will be all right. It's not like we're really going to be 'roughing it'. We're staying at a KOA and we'll have our trailer so I think it will work out. I am a little worried about the drive though. I'm thinking Gianna will sleep most of the time, but Jamison's a little impatient when it comes to sitting in one place (especially strapped in) for extended periods of time. We'll be sure to pack lots of Thomas movies.

Hey, if anybody has had a little girl, what in the world am I supposed to do with Gianna's hair??? It's getting pretty long but it's all different lengths all over her head and I'm worried it's going to start looking a little mulletish if I don't do something about it. But I want to grow it out long so I don't really want to cut it. Any ideas?

I can't believe a whole month has gone by since I had Gianna. It seems like I was in the hospital just a few days ago. And I definitely remember feeling pregnant like it was just yesterday! It's gone by so fast. And yet, even though it's been a whole month, we STILL are struggling with nursing. Oh well, it is going a bit better than it was so I'm happy about that. I've LOVED being home with Jamison and Gianna even though it's been a bit overwhelming sometimes (okay, most times...). I posted some more pictures up in my pictures section in case anyone's interested. :)

So, about once a week, Jay and Jamison have a little debate/argument about a picture we have in the kitchen:

Jamison is convinced that anything that is a partial circle is a moon so he thinks this is a picture of the moon. Jay thinks it is the sun. Jamison tells Jay every time "No Daddy, that's the moon". When daddy disagrees and says it's the sun, Jamison will get me and say "Mommy, tell Daddy that's the moon". I tell Jay that it is the moon, and when Jay still says it's the sun, Jamison says "Mommy, try again". We do this at least once a week. Well, a few days ago, I was unavailable to set Jay straight about the picture being the moon, so when Jay told Jamison it was the sun, Jamison said "No Daddy, I'll be back". He then went upstairs and retrieved a book from his bookcase (where we only keep the latest in educational literature of course):

He then opened the book to this page:

Then he told Jay, "Daddy, THIS is the sun. That (pointing to the first picture), is the moon." I think he proved his point. I mean, he did cite references. Jay, a college graduate, had no such references. Isn't he cute??? :)
