This little girl is growing up so fast.  Sometimes.. it’s as if time slips away when you pay all your attention to the little ones.  Once you have a child, most of your adult life is spent paying special attention to the little things like a little coo here and there.  You pay your attention to the little burps and even farts… and for some reason it’s comforting to hear it come from them.  It’s comforting because you know that it releases air trapped in their bellies so they won’t get a tummy ache later.  You want to show them the world.  With the looks in their eyes.. to the smiles they get once something sparkles their curiousity.. how could you not want to show them the world?  After a while, your whole goal is to make them smile.  During Christmas weekend we were grateful to have my dear friends visit us from Minnesota.  It was nice to see Chris and Cristina once again after almost 6 months.  Once I laid my eyes on Gianna, it was a huge surprise on how much she has grown!  Take a look at this post here to see for yourself:  http://telaphotography.com/archives/100 .  And now.. take a look here for some recent photos:
