Gilana can now scoot herself forward while in the crawling position and is becoming a pro at sitting herself up after rolling on her belly. She is trying hard to make new words and is blabbering up a storm. For the last two days, Gilana has been saying "Dada" repeatedly, sometimes with a "Hi" in front! We are so delighted with our little Gigi blessing and daily look forward to what she will do next.
Gilana loves to eat a wide variety of foods and is (for the most part) not a picky eater. Of course one of her favorite things is feeding herself... this can get messy. Today I gave Gigi a bottle of formula for the first time and she wolfed it down.
We have been spending time outside with a blanket laid out in the shade of our backyard. She is enjoying new explorations of the world around her.
My belly is really starting to look pregnant, but I am feeling much better now other than the heat. As of yesterday we are only cooling Gilana's room to save money and not bother with our aged central AC unit. So far so good.

Father's Day
Today is my Love's first official Father's Day. He is a spectacular daddy who takes such great care of his little family of almost four (plus the dog!).
Today's plans have been: church, home for lunch and Gilana nap, enjoy some time together, Byron out for repair supplies, plant our "vineyard," prune/tidy-up the garden, and go to the folks for dinner.
I don't have much to give Byron as a gift other than some nice socks (he always seems to need some), continue organizing the contents of our garage, and treat him as though I love him (not hard!!).
Byron noticed a super-cute Gilana moment a couple days ago. She had woken up in the morning and decided to wait on calling us for some attention. Instead, she turned on (!!!) her mobile and was flipping through a soft cover book. She is such a treat!
Oh, and she is almost crawling--so close! Baby-proofing is under way. :)

7 Months
Gilana is now 7 months and a day old. We are having so much fun with her, watching her grow, explore her surroundings, burst out laughing at our antics, she is too cute! I think this is my favorite time right now, but I am sure that is the case with every baby at every stage as the Lord graces us with such a precious gift of parenthood. Babies are incredible!
Gilana is doing some impressive push-up maneuvers (my dad would be proud!), eats like a fiend, naps well (when events don't ruin her schedule), is a people and crowd loving girl, and as of yesterday, rocks back and forth in the position of crawling. We have to baby-proof!
Gigi was a trooper at my sister's wedding weekend in Santa Clara. It was a long drive up with very little nap time, but our Gilly-bean put on her best face for everyone and tried to steal the show. (Don't worry Tammy, she didn't get all the attention!)
We are so delighted with our little munchkin and have been rearranging everything to fit #2 into the picture. We might find out next month if we will be having a boy or another girl!
