Monthly Milestones - 8 mos
Gabby is 8 months old!
In Gabby's 7th month...
She got her first twelve day of Christmas gift, which is our family tradition.
First Christmas
Started on her sippy cup which was in her Chrsitmas Stocking
She continues to go to anyone and loves people. She reminds me so much of her sister at this age.
She attended her first funeral for my grandpa Marguy, which the kids call VuVu. I wish he could have met my girls before he passed away, but we never made it to Conneticut. It was such a celebration of this life having all the family together and seeing all of my cousins and watching our children interact with one another.
Started crawling forward and I can't believe I don't have a video. I have many videos where she had been crawling, but by the time I got the camera she stopped!:-(

A Series of FORTUNATE Events
It was our 11 month anniversary. Keep in mind we had been dating off and on for 9 years at this point, so 11 monthes was a BIG deal! Plus 11:11 is special to us. We hadn't been on a date in a while because he was going to UT and I was teaching in PA, so he was home for break.
I got a new outfit for this special date and at the mall I ran into a friend, Jeff Grasso , who said, "I bet you are getting engaged tonight." I thought NO WAY!
Anyway he picked me up about 4:30pm and said he had forgotten something at his house. When we got there he told me to come in, but I told him I'd wait because I had to finish up something on his gift. So then he told me to come in when I was done. I went in and he called me to their living room. When I sat down on the couch he handed me a book he had made. It was called, "The Story of Us". As I read through it I really had no idea what was coming I was just thinking this was a great anniversary/Christmas present.
At the end there was a page about how being away from me he realized he wanted to spend all of his time with me (I started to possibly think it was what it was) and on the next page was a pink packet with a string coming out. I pulled the string and the most beautiful ring I'd ever seen was on the end of it! I had NEVER showed him a ring or told him what I wanted. My belief was he would know me so well he would know what I would like and still to this day my ring is the prettiest that I've ever seen...at least to me!
Side note about the ring: The night before I was out with Kristi Walker and I saw a ring just like mine on a billboard and I said, "I love that ring!" Kristi said she thought I knew and couldn't believe that I had just pointed to a ring that was just like the one Josh had gotten me!
I, of course, said YES and I didn't cry through the whole thing because I was so SHOCKED! Josh however did tear up when he asked me and it was the sweetest thing!

Sorry for the poor quality. I had to scan them.
We went to the Dietrich theather, and old theather and saw of A Series of Unfortunate Events...quite the opposite title of our life together ;-)

Monthly Milestones - 7 mos
Gabby turns 7 months!
In Gabby's 6th month she....
Had her first Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Wilson's house. Here are most of the grandkids on the Mosher side of the family
She likes to have what her sister has! Check this out!
Started wearing her hair in pigtails!
Went on her first Christmas tree hunt and was so good even thought it took us like 45 minutes in the freezing cold. She never made a sound!
She started to crawl, but backwards. One day at daycare they said she crawled underneath all the cribs and made her way down the room and when she got there she laid down to fall asleep!
She still loves her sister! Annie can get her really laughing and she just want to be near her. They are so precious together.
She started licking her lips to show us she was hungry! This video is too funny!
She continues to be joyful and happy unless she needs something and has such a calm personality. She loves clapping. She eats three meals a day with 3 6oz bottles and at all of her fruits and veggies and likes them all.

Monthly Milestones - 6 Mos
Today Gabby turns 6 months!
It is hard to believe that Gabby is 6 months old already! She has grown so much this month and brings such joy to our household! I continue to be amazed at the connection I see growing between Annie and Gabby and pray that it will continue as they grow older.
She now eats 3 meals a day. Her meals consist of rice cereal, fruits and veggies. She back down to 6 oz bottles of milk and only gets 3 a day. She continues to sleep through the night although every now and then will wake up at around 4 am talking to herself. As soon as I put her in bed with me she falls back asleep.
Here are some things she did in her 5th month:
1. Started sitting up, although for very short periods of time until today!
2. Started Veggies and Fruits (sweet peas, green beens, squash, bananna, sweet potatoes, applesauces -in that order).
3. She likes to reach out for us to pick her up and likes to touch our faces.
4. She likes to wide open mouth kiss us!
5. She is very responsive to us, people and objects. She babbles, coos and screams as demonstrated in the video above to show excitement and happiness!
6. She can grab objects and bring them to her mouth. Her motions are much more purposeful this month.
7. She will follow you around the room with her eyes and if Josh or I leave the room she stretches out her neck to try and see us! It is the funniest thing!
8. She does not like to be left alone anymore! She will scream or shout if I put her in her bouncer and she can't see me!
9. She likes to try and pull the spoon up to her mouth, especially when Daddy is feeding her.
10. At dinner when we are eating she wants to eat. She reaches and grabs for every thing! She likes to sit and be apart of the dinner table.
11. Easily entertained, especially by her sister!
