Gemma Brigid turned 8 months old on May 26th. For the record for those of you hold pause all clocks in the summer, it is July 16th. Whoops. And even more absurd is the fact that I made Gem pose for her 8 month pictures the day after she turned 9 months old... Zoops. And worst of all is that we really struggled to get a smiling one with the headband. So sue me.
Gemmas favorite toys are things she sees mom and dad using; dishes, cell phones, keys, combs, etc. It takes a lot to get one of the million toys we own to entice her.
Believe it or not, she's a really happy boog. She babbles more than anything in 8 months and has become so expressive!
This picture is wildly deceiving. Before she turned 8 months she could barely pull up on all fours, and when she did she would only use it to look around and then lunge forward. Don't take this to mean that she wasn't mobile because this girl is a force and if she wants something, she will find a way to get it. But in 8 months she was doing to cutest thing, she would get to something with a mixture of rolling and flailing until she could finally reach. It was a painfully slow, but adorable, process.
Gemma grows increasingly less interested in this headband each month. Dad tried so hard to keep her from pulling it off but she is far too curious and stubbornly independent. At this point we have devised a few tips and tricks to get her to keep a bow in the hair but it's only still 50% successful.
She is able to pull herself up into a sitting position and get back to the floor as well.
More than anything Gemma loves the phone and FaceTime.
Her hair is fluffy and never lays flat.
She's tried lots of homemade baby purees at this point and loves apples the most. Bottle or baby food, she is the most distracted eater, such a mess.
This sweet girl of ours learns something new every day , and loves Raffi more than mom and dad combined. Thank God for Raffi in the car.
