Giovanni Bradley

Giovanni is the youngest of my 5 cousins on the Morgan side of my family. Giovanni has several nicknames. Some of these neck names include G, Baby G, Gi Gi, Gio, Mud, Schmotzel, and my personal favorite, Homie G. Giovanni is a little over 1 year old and is just beginning to talk. Although most of his “talk” is still baby babbling, his vocabulary consists of “milk,” “baba,” “mama,” “no no,” and “puppy.” Despite his limited vocabulary, Gio comprehends and will do many different commands. For instance, he will give you a high five, kiss, raspberry, stick his tongue out, and giggle upon command. Gi’s favorite thing to do is eat. He greatly resembles my pap because they both have an extensive love for food. In this photo, Giovanni is devouring his ice cream after our family dinner. He believed that feeding himself and creating a giant sticky mess was the best way to enjoy his treat. Once Gio sets his mind to a task, there is no stopping, or bargaining with him. Again like my pap, Giovanni is hot tempered when he doesn’t get his way. I believe Gi will be quite the character when he grows up. I am so fortunate to be able to call this little, animated boy my cousin.
