Dear Gretta Rose,
7 1/2 months!
what a babe you are!
we all have such a ball with you around..such a funny little personality.
you army crawl all over the place.
you are so fast, and we are already needing to block off stairs and lock up cupboards, because you are always trying to get into trouble.
not quite sitting up.
anytime i try, you seem to topple right over.
not a fan of your bumbo chair, swing, or exersaucer.
you just can't stand to be contained.
i'm not sure i have ever met a baby more interested in...well...everything.
you want to explore it all and are such a busy body.
you are a mama's girl, and i love, love, love it.
struggling in the nursing department.
i am still your comfort, though i'm not sure we're getting much of anything out.
you usually gulp down about a 6 0z bottle after nursing 3 times.
oh well. we're trying.
and you do love that bottle.
we love teasing you and holding it out in front of you all made up.
you start squealing, squeaking, and kicking like crazy.
such a darling sound.
you are the messiest eater.
takes two of us.
usually i am the one shoveling it in while daddy holds your arms back.
everything still manages to get everywhere!
you say "mamamamamamama" as loud as can be all day long.
i'm sure it has nothing to do with me,
but it sure does tickles me.
we never put bows in your hair.
you aren't a fan, and i'm good with that.
you have the sweetest open mouth smile in the world,
and you crack up over anything...a funny face, seeing daddy from across the room, roscoe jumping off the couch, me singing (that is funny), lexi twirling around you...etc.
it's all hilarious in your little mind.
makes us all giggle.
you are sleeping through the night.
(excuse me while i go jump for joy)
this makes you my fastest baby ever to sleep through the night.
love you!! love you!!
the world just seems brighter with 6 straight hours.
you are an early bird though.
wake up about 6:30-7 every morning.
daddy always brings you down to get a little comfort from me.
i love how excited you get the moment you see me.
we usually lay in bed for a few and just snuggle.
beautiful.
i have to say my favorite part of the day is about midnight though.
you are sound asleep, but daddy and i visit your room each night.
i nurse for a little bit, and we just watch you sleep in delight.
it's our quiet time to just admire every square inch of perfectness on you cute little body.
your sweet thighs in a onesie, your perfect shaped head and wild hair, your 10 little fingers clutching to my chest, your sweet cheeks, the little folds on your tiny neck, your exceptionally long feet, your peaceful eyes with those beautiful lashes....goodness you're a masterpiece!
we are all utterly in love with you sweet gigi.
every one of us.
Love,
Mommy

She is seriously such a doll- it's so fun being able compare her side by side with my Emmett! No, I didn't get my camera yet. I keep talking myself out of it for some odd reason- (like I keep spending my money on other things!) but for sure by Christmas!! And I will be needing the info on yours again because I have no idea which post I asked you on! I also need a little quinoa 101 lesson. So far our experiences with it have been no bueno. And lastly, you are also gonna have to divulge your bloggin secrets. Did you find a way to have the big pictures, as well as a cute background? Thanks, Angela
I love her! She sounds a lot like how Sophie was at her age. Future best friends?
Holy smokes I can't believe she is almost 8 months old!!! She is so beautiful. Those eyes just pull you right in and hypnotize you. Love it. I was also wondering about how you get your pictures to be so big?
