Eight Month Update

In honor of turning eight months, Gianna got her first two teeth, ear infection, and bronchiolitus all within a week. She has been such a champ through it all, and she is feeling much better now. Teething biscuits and pureed beef and gravy are the newest additions to her diet, and she still loves puffs.

"For being eight months old, Gia, you have quite the attitude!" That is what Tricia, Gia's daycare provider, said when I picked her up one day this week. Gianna's attitude is not new to us though. She has always known what she wanted and has been able to figure out a way to get it. Recently, while all of her daycare friends were napping, Gia wanted Tricia's attention all to herself. Every time Tricia turned her attention away, Gianna grunted at her. Don't get me wrong, she is a very happy baby, and I look forward to seeing her smiling face with her squinched up nose every minute of the day. Her spicy-ness just makes her that much cuter!

As of January 18th, Gia was 16.4 pounds. My little sweetpea is just starting to fit into nine month clothes which is great since she got so many adorable outfits for Christmas. Luckily for Ryan and I, she still loves to cuddle before going to bed, and she still fits well in our arms while we rock her. She rubs her blanky on the bridge of her nose and between her fingers while she drinks her bottle. It is so precious.

Sorry for the long post. With the holidays, I feel like I haven't posted about her progress in awhile. Now, you are updated!
