I am on the move!

Hello everyone!

With the big 8 months right around the corner, I decided it was time to get serious about getting mobile.  Without further ado, here is are some of my first moves:

You don't crawl three feet without putting the work in, and let me tell you, I've been working!  Mostly, I've been carb loading and trying to increase my protein intake.  I have an insatiable appetite, and have been working my way through cheese, pureed chickpeas and rosemary, white bean soup, asparagus, pears, peaches, apples, ground turkey with diced tomatoes... the list goes on.  Mom says I'm eating her out of house and home!

We've really been stepping up the fun factor, lately.  I love getting blow outs- those are a real hoot!

Mom loves to make me giggle. I tell you what, between you and me...that lady is a real comedian!  I mean, realllllly funny.  Definitely funnier than dada.  See?

Where's mama?  I think she's under this high chair.... somewhere...

There is a little too much jiggling in this video for mom's taste, but was this a fun game or what?

What is mom doing that's so funny in this video?  you'll never know!!!

Tomorrow is halloween! Thanks to my sista from another motha, Sam, I'll be outfitted in the most stylish Halloween apparel out there. Stay tuned!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all doing well!  I'm doing great and have been having a great October.  Last weekend, mama, dada and I took a trip to the Berkshires to celebrate Grandma (Tracy's) 60th birthday at Jiminy Peak.  It was so fun to see Grandma, GG, and all my aunts, uncles, great aunts and uncles, and all of my second cousins (I think that's what they are called)!

I had a great time playing with toys and napping in the car, so the journey was no big deal. Here are a bunch of pictures from the weekend:

In other news, I'm getting to be pretty independent.  I hold my own bottle- my parents can no longer be trusted to do this.  Sometimes I one-hand it- just because I can.  I can walk around if someone is holding me, and while I'm not that interested in crawling, my new trick is to slither backwards until I'm stuck under the couch.

It's getting a little chilly; I've been bundling up for the morning runs!

Hope everyone has a great week!  Grandpa is coming to visit this weekend.  It's not easy being so popular.  

love,

7 Months Old

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone had a great month; I sure did!  And boy, did it fly by.

So far, I've been a great eater!  I like yogurt, applesauce, peaches, sweet potatoes, pastina and I don't really mind peas and zucchini (working on improving my greens).

My mobile has become an entertainment center.  I like to press all the buttons and change the music when left to play by myself!

I've started babbling, and I like to say mamamama and dadaada.  Excuse the dark footage:

Hope everyone had a great month- talk to you soon!

Love,
Gillian
