Giana at 8 months

A lot has happened for little Gigi this past month. Firstly, she is crawling all over the place. She is getting faster and faster every day. Talia is having to keep the floor clean(er) as Giana wants to put everything in her mouth. Giana can also sit up all by herself and move from crawling to sitting. She is even trying to pull to stand--she is almost there! She is eating more at each sitting and is loving the puffs and cheerios. She is able to put a bunch in her mouth fairly successfully, though not with a pincer grasp--she finds it faster to just grab a handful of them and shove them in her mouth at once. She has said her first word-"hi" (which was also T's first word) and she will say hi over and over to get your attention. She also loves to babble--we have heard "mamama", "dadada", "yayaya" (which we think is Talia) and today heard "gagaga". She is waving pretty consistently and has just the best laugh and giggle. She is loving the jump-a-roo and is actually getting off the floor and jumping! As for sleep, we've had one night of 1o and a half hours--in a row--but the next night, she was back to getting up early. She's been up by 4:15 or so EVERY DAY this week. FUN TIMES! Giana is such a happy baby--I am the luckiest!
