8 months old

"Muuuah! Don't you love my little bow-like mouth?"

Little G is getting to be such a big girl! She sits up like a pro and has been getting into position like she's thinking about crawling.

"That milky looks like mom's! Give me some, Dada!"

This is another trick Gianna can do. Hold the sippy cup with one hand! The volume of water that comes out of the little spout still surprises her each time.

She still pukes often. Notice the puddle under her high chair. She's unfazed as usual.

She totally digs the Johnny Jump Up (thanks cousin Kayden for handing it down!) You can hear her from the other side of the house - "woeeek eeghr woeeek eeghr woeeek eeghr" - up and down and up and down. And a giggle and a squeal here and there.

"Do I really want the ball THAT much??!" This month, we started taking Gianna to Gymboree Play and Learn classes. She thinks it's great.

She is playing hard to get while trying to do crunches for her six-pack abs.

And I almost didn't post this one due to the kids' tub in desperate need of white caulk, but alas, it was just too momentous not to. Gianna's first bath in the big bathtub AND the kids' first bath together!!

Happy 8 months, sweetie!
