Gian

I don't know what kind of secret, unspoken competition or collusion Gian and Sienna are engaged in, but it's reached new heights. It started yesterday when Gian sat up on her own for the first time we know of (though she may have managed it a day or two before). Then, after Sienna saw her visiting friends all using her potty, she decided that she had to show everyone that she could do it, too. Twice. And now this morning Gian has started to crawl. I expect Shakespearean sonnets from Sienna by evening.

Gian, who used to be an angel baby and would fall asleep quietly on her own, has been a noisy, irritating, unsatisfiable sleep monster for the last month (and right now). That is surely adding to our joy around here. More positively, however, for the last couple of days she seems to be able to muster the balance necessary to sit upright for a little while. She can't sit up, but if positioned she's golden. It's a nice step forward. Gotta go, she's screaming herself to sleep in the Ergo I'm wearing.

Weight: 8.5kg (18.7 lbs)

Height: 68.2cm (26.9 inches)

This morning Gian rolled over from back to front on her own for the first time.

So at two-months-old Gian is coming in at the top of the weight and height charts:

Weight: 5.6kg (12lb 4oz)

Height: 60cm (23.5")
