Another month has flown by! Our sweet Giuliana is 8 months old and quite
the busy girl. She quickly went from sitting up on her own, to
crawling, to speed crawling and now she is at the stage where she can
pull herself up on just about anything. It is extremely impressive and
terrifying all at the same time. It literally seems like it happened
overnight. She is all over the house and curious as ever with her new found mobility. She now greets us in the morning by standing in the
corner of her crib waiting for us. This girl will be crawling out of
that thing in no time so stay tuned for that story. We also finally
started to baby proof (as best we could) and put up a gate at the top of
our stairs. I could see her eyes light up immediately, knowing it was
going to be another challenge for her that she would soon conquer. She
uses the gate as a pull up bar, then loves to turn around and smile at us.
Look at me mom and dad! Changing diapers has also been a new
challenge since she never wants to sit still! She does about two
thousand flips and rolls by the time it's all said and done. All in all,
this has been a really fun age because she has changed and developed so
much in such a short period of time. She's a happy, playful, fun
girl and we can't get enough of her!
8 Month Accomplishments--According to Mom & Dad
*Giuliana
could compete for world's fastest crawler! Go grab a water bottle out
of the refrigerator, but don't be surprised to see her at your feet.
*The
couch, ottoman, wine fridge, sliding glass door, visitors, are all fair
game for assisting her in standing up. However, she forgets sometimes
that she can't stand on her own because she will turn around and let go
before she realizes she's not being held up by anything anymore.
*Her
second tooth is making its way in! I can already see its poking
through, so hopefully this teething experience won't be as bad as the
first one.
*She still has not found one food she dislikes...but that's no surprise :)
*Giuliana loves the pool! She likes to kick her feet and splash the water around with her hands. Bathing suit and pool toy shopping we go!
Happy 8 month birthday to our Giuliana!!
