Gianna loves to eat

I realize more and more how much I miss being part of the blogging community. I love connecting this way with friends and yet it seems to be the task that haunts me. I think if I had a laptop it would actually make it much easier. Our computer is upstairs so if Mr. F is watching TV I like to be with him and so I don't want to go blog.

For the next four months though Mr. F is working the graveyard shift so my evening time will be free. Last week was his first week working graveyard and it was hard for me. It really gave me quite a bit of compassion for single moms. I think a big factor is also that I am spoiled! My husband does so much in regards to caring for Gianna. We are a team and we take care of her together. So when he is out of the picture for 3 or 4 days straight I get really overwhelmed.

Gianna turned 5 months this week. She is changing so much every day. This morning she rolled from her tummy to her back, she is grabbing everything in site and she is figuring out how to use her hands. She loves to grab my hair and my lips and sucks/chews on anything she can find. She wakes up with a smile and has started screaming out in joy.


At the end of January we introduced her to some baby oatmeal and she really like it. I am feeding her once a day and this week she had some organic sweet potatoes. She dives forward for each bit and just slurps is all down. She has started wearing bibs daily because of the excessive drooling from teething.

She brings us so much joy. Other than her my life is pretty boring. I am still working selling health insurance, trying to get back in shape and trying to keep our house running. I am home each night by 7 because Gianna is out by 7:15. If anyone wants to catch up on the phone I am free:)

Hopefully you will start hearing from me on a more regular basis. Here are some new picture of Gianna who by the way does not look like me at all. She is totally her dad!

My hubby works 3 nights a week and the single mom life is hard! I feel your pain. My first looked just like her dad too. My laptop is the only reason I get online frequently :) Gianna is a doll!
