Well - Fiona is 8 months old!! It has been an interesting time as we mostly were at home under a statewide "stay at home" order in the setting of the COVID-19 Pandemic. This has really limited the amount of places we can go on adventures, but we have been making the best of it!
Fiona is growing in leaps and bounds. This month she grew not one, but TWO teeth and has been eating up a storm!! She loves zucchini, squash, yellow zucchini, black beans, broccoli, apples, pears, carrots, tiny bits of turkey burgers, eggs, cheese, avocado and milk! She is a HUGE fan of eating right now and loves to feed herself, although gets frustrated she cant get food into her mouth fast enough and so we have to spoon feed her in between handfuls of food she puts into her mouth....A growing girl!
She is also advancing in her gross motor skills and can pull to stand all by herself and is getting really good at rolling around and scooting backwards - although going forwards and/or crawling is still a bit of a work in progress. She is working hard on this and loves to move independently and increasingly wants to move by herself.
She is vocalizing more and babbles / coos / blows bubbles / screams / laughs all day long. Her favorite thing to do is watch her brother and sister do funny things and then giggle endlessly. She is also RIDICULOUSLY ticklish and can't help herself when you tickle her under the chin and buzz her bell.
She has been riding in the backpack more and more recently and loves to be up high and part of the team as we go on dog walks, putter around in the backyard, take the big kids on bike rides etc. She has really com into her own as an individual and is developing a personality that is independent, opinionated, funny and determined. We just love watching her grow!!
