Little Stroller: Gianna Simantiris

Proud Parents: Daman and Jennifer Simantiris
Age: 2
Birthday: December 8

If you ever hear a tiny voice singing “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” in perfect tune—or spot a pint-sized rock star behind a full-size double-bass drum kit—you’ve likely met Gianna Simantiris.

At just two years old, Gianna is a spirited bundle of creativity, curiosity, and charm. Her musical tastes are already more refined than most adults’, with The Beatles topping her playlist. She adores Paul McCartney (whom she occasionally calls on her pretend phone), and her parents marvel at how she can name Beatles songs after hearing only a few notes during car rides. Her current faves? “Hello Goodbye,” “Hey Jude,” “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” and “Penny Lane”—and rumor has it she’s starting to warm up to Wings, too! Of course, she enjoys jamming out to songs by Toto, Daft Punk, and Smashing Pumpkins-what two-year old doesn’t?

But Gianna isn’t just a music aficionado—she’s also an avid gardener’s assistant and a budding scholar. Whether she’s “helping” water the flowers or proudly reciting her ABCs and counting to 20, she approaches everything with enthusiasm and joy. She’s also an extremely social little girl, smiling and waving at just about everyone (and everything!) she sees, from neighbors and pets to golf carts and passersby.

When she’s not outdoors or rocking out, Gianna enjoys time with her favorite toys: her Toniebox music player, her beloved stuffed dog Spike, and a pretend ice cream cart—strawberry is the top pick, of course. She’s also got a taste for real food, with bacon being the absolute best bite in the world.

And don’t be surprised if you catch her busting out wrestling moves—Gianna is a proud WWE fan, especially of Cody Rhodes. She loves practicing her moves with her dad in playful matches at home, and word is she’s this close to finally pinning him! 

Gianna may be small, but her personality is larger than life. Her parents, Daman and Jennifer, are endlessly proud of the sweet, friendly, and utterly delightful little girl she’s becoming. With a heart full of music and a spirit full of joy, Gianna brings light and laughter wherever she goes.
