9 months old, and Happy New Year!

I can hardly believe that Gianna is growing so fast.

She is quite comfortable sitting up and has mastered reaching and twisting while keeping her balance on her booty. She has started leaning forward on her little hands and rocking/dancing like she wants to GO!

And GO she does! Borrowing her friend Kyrsten's Jeep, she experienced her first walking toy.

She fell fast asleep while we were preparing her breakfast. Two minutes. Out. WTH??

She continues to puke. A lot. Whether it's rice, oatmeal, carrots, squash, apples, bananas, peas, green beans, peaches -- doesn't matter. Up it comes.

This month, Gianna started finger foods. Her pincher grasp has progressed so quickly and she is doing great! We have heard her say "mama," "dada," "go go." Late this month, we spotted two top teeth poking through. She is sleeping a bit better. Jeff and I finally looked at each other this month and said, "When was the last time her stomach hurt and she cried and cried?!" We couldn't think of one single time this month. YES!! Could her "colic" finally be over?


Brother. Sister. Friends.

P.S. Having New Year's plans for the first time in four years was quite exciting. But, alas, I'm home and blogging. Plan A, plan B, and plan c babysitters all fell through. So, flake we did. Hello Twenty Eleven!!
