Dear Gianna,
I can remember the day you were born like it was yesterday. Being in labor with you was easy - you came out when I was laughing, and the doctor almost didn't make it! Just like your sister, you didn't cry and had big, beautiful eyes.
You have been such an easy, joyful baby! You rarely cry and slept through the night pretty early on.
For your first few months of life, we thought you were just the most mellow, easy-going girl. You still are, but once you turned about eight months we saw a little fiery side come out! If you're not being fed fast enough, or can't get to something quick enough you clench your fists and make an angry face. It's hilarious!
You adore your big sister, and the feeling is mutual. No matter how hard she tries to get you to call her "Lulu" you insist that she is "Nana." When Leila says "No, no, it's Lulu" You shake your head no, put your little hand on Leila's chest and say "Nana."
Just like you gave Leila the nickname "Nana", she gave you the nickname "Coco." When you were a few days old she was watching "The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" and Coco the Monkey was on. She thought you looked like Coco the Monkey and the nickname stuck. "Coco" suits you. In fact, we rarely call you Gianna. It's usually "Gebe", "Gebe the Bebe", "Cocomo", "Coconut" or "Gianna Mak." You respond to all of them.
You are a chatterbox. You say "Mama", "Dada", "Nana", "Papa", "Boo" (it's what you call Ramon, since Leila calls him Boo-Boo", "Belle" (Bamma and Papa's dog) "hi", "that", and "más" (that and más you tell us a lot when you want something to eat!) You also say "ooooooh" when something catches your eye.
You crawl so fast (especially if you hear the dogs being fed) and we think you'll be walking soon. You hold on to furniture to walk where you want, and stand on your own for several seconds.
You are a wonderful, little angel face who has made our family complete. We love you more than you can ever know, sweet girl!
Happy Birthday, Gianna Makena!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy and Leila
