Greta- 9 months


Look who turned 9 months old this week? Yay! Greta has started clapping and it's the sweetest. Lana and mom had to work hard to get a good smile this month as Greta hasn't been feeling well for about a week. She has a bad cough- and has been to the doctor, but otherwise is doing pretty well. 


We celebrated her first Thanksgiving at Uncle Randy & Aunt Amy's house. She didn't take much of a nap, but true of her personality was very pleasant throughout the day. She continues to be a thumb sucker and is still scooting around on her belly. She's really getting quite fast on our hard floors. It makes me consider mopping more. :)


Table food is the pick for Greta. I can occasionally sneak in some applesauce but she much prefers to feed herself with things that she can pick up with her hands. 


She's still the center of everyone's attention. She is so well loved and tended to. Haddie and Lana are living their best "babysitter life". Knox seems to really be paying more attention to her too and it's sweet to see them begin to interact with each other.

Greta- 8 months

 


Sara McMillian Photography gets all the credit for these sweet shots. The sisters one (in particular) makes me swoon. 



Whew- 8 months! Greta continues to be a great baby. She is sleeping all night and takes a nice afternoon nap. She is growing and starting to eat some table foods. She doesn't care too much for pureed foods, but I can sneak them in here and there. 


Probably the biggest change this month is Greta is mobile! She scoots around the floor very similar to the way Knox used to. Just uses her arms to drag her body around. She gives sweet smiles and just last night was waving to our friend Misty. Since she did it twice, we'll call it a new skill. 

Her bunny and thumb are her sleeping companions. Her other thing she started this month is so funny and the only way I know to describe it is to say she sucks her tongue. It's hilarious. Usually after she's done eating- it's loud and she somehow smiles while she does it too. 


We are all terribly smitten with Greta Jo.
