Gianna is 8 Months Old!

I can not believe my baby is 8 months old already! Here are just some things I want to remember about her at this age.
* Her favorite toy is an Eric Carle duck that was given to me by a student.
* She wears a size 3 diaper and 6-9 month clothes.
* She's eating 2-3 meals of solid foods and 2-3 bottles per day.
* She's transitioning to a soy formula to see if she's outgrown her milk protein allergy. This transition has been much different than Ava's. Since a milk protein allergy includes milk/dairy and soy, they want to rule out one allergy at a time. She seems to be doing well with the introduction of soy formula so far. Right now she gets half Neocate formula and half soy formula in her bottles. The next step will be introducing yogurt once she's on all soy bottles.
* She loves laughing, blowing raspberries and screeching.
* She babbles a lot! Sounds include: dada, baba, yaya and I've heard a few papa's.
*She loves all her fruits and veggies. She's begun to eat some meat. She seems to like beef and turkey better than chicken.
* She loves to be held by anyone wearing "bling." The first thing she checks when Nonna holds her is her ears for earrings!
* She loves interacting with Ava! She watches her and is starting to play with her.
* Gianna is very ticklish.
*Jumping in her jump-a-roo is one of her favorite pass times!
* She sits and plays with her toys like a champ!


 After her pictures, she really wanted to eat the blocks!!
