Giovanna Mendes Bellini AKA Giovi

When I found out I was pregnant I had an outburst of mixing feelings. The news came in a time when Ale and I  were still adjusting to our new life as a newly-married couple in a foreign land far from home and family.


The months following our baby birth weren't easy either. So many things happened at the same time- bad news, trials, and frustrations. But Heavenly Father never failed us. We felt His love and care in all times.

We named our baby girl Giovanna which means God is gracious or Gift of God. And she truly is! Sometimes it takes time to understand why some things happen. I know Giovanna came to bless our marriage and to unit Ale and I even more.


Giovanna is a sweet girl. She loves her family, and misses her grandma so much! She misses her aunt, uncle, and cousins too. She is a talker. She talks on the phone, to her toys, and to people everywhere. She is also really emotional, you can easily hurt her feelings. She is super girly- loves pink, dresses, princesses, make up, polish nails, and jewels. She has an excellent memory, and she is very active.

Silly things she says:

"Hi, chique"
"Just pouquinho, mamae"
"Naninha still hungry. She quer paozinho, carninha e tomate"
"Vovo aviao. Vovo longe"
