Milestones Update: Little Gigi just keeps getting less and less little. While her grandparents were visiting, she decided to show off and start pulling herself up to a standing position. Her "scooting" is now evolving into a proper crawl, so I've been battening down the hatches and putting little plastic whatsits in the sockets. She still has no teeth, but man is she ever trying. She feeds herself Cheerios, sleeps mostly through the night, and claps her hands when she's really happy.
We took her for her nine-month well baby visit a few weeks early because I was worried about her weight. She's still in the lower percentiles but progressing along her curve; the doc isn't too worried but will be more than happy to recheck her in about six weeks. She's now up to 15 pounds and one ounce, which means she hasn't quite tripled her birthweight - but finally she weighs more than the cat!
