Cousin visit, crawling and fun with friends!

Well it's official, you are a crawler.  For a couple of weeks you have been crawling but only using either your hands or feet, now you use both and crawl the traditional way.  Way to go big girl!
This weekend Aunt Kailea and Ashari were in town to celebrate grandma cook's 80th birthday! Here are some pictures from the weekend!

8 months old

You are 8 months old today!!!! I can hardly believe it, yes I know Mommy says this every month!

Here are some things you have been doing lately...
-you LOVE your activity table, you stand at it to play, we also take the legs off and you " crawl" towards it to play
-you LOVE to roll, you move all over and its so funny to watch you see something you want and go get it
-you've learned where the stairs are...luckily you cannot climb them just yet
-you are VERY curious, the other day you really wanted Nani Gina's shoes so I tried to "hide" them under the table, you definitly found them...TWICE
-you love to eat your fruits and veggies, your favorites at the moment are sweet potatoes with cinnamon, banana-plum with cereal, and peas & carrots
-you can't get enough puffs, cheerios and little pieces of finger foods, you are so fast at picking up the food and shoving it in your little mouth (see video below)
-you talk all the time, our conversations after daycare are my favorite, and I know we will continue to do this for many years to come
-you do the "mean" face also known as the turtle herder face when your mad or frustrated
-you think Elmo is AWESOME, Daddy put Elmo on the tv one day and you thought it was great
-you like to sleep on your belly now and you sleep from 730p-730a (it's amazing!)
-you suck your thumb when your sleepy and like that better than your binky

the mean face

hmm stairs

just woke up (hints the wild girl hair)...yet still sleepy

Teeth...yes that's plural as in 2 at the same time!

Today your bottom 2 teeth FINALLY came through!  You woke up this morning and Mommy noticed there was a little white tooth peeking through your gums, your right tooth popped through in the night. ( no wonder you didn't sleep well) We cheered for you and tried to take your picture but you would NOT sit still for anything!  Go figure!  When Mommy picked you up from Jennifer's your left tooth had popped through too! TWO teeth in one day!  You are a rockstar!  LOVE YOU!!!

We LOVE the weekend!

Here are some pictures from the past couple weekends!  Mommy and Daddy cherish these times with you, we LOVE spending our days just playing with you, taking you places and of course giving you LOTS of hugs and kisses!

FINALLY you slept through the night!!!

After 7.5 LONG sleepy months, you finally slept through the night last night!!!!!  Mommy woke up 3 separate times to check the monitor, but you were still fast asleep! It was amazing!  We've been trying to wean you off of eating at night and we did it 2 days in a row and last night you did it, WITHOUT waking up at all! Go Gianna!!! WE LOVE YOU!
