7 Months Old

On December 6th, Gabriella turned 7 months old. Kevin and I didn't beleive how much she had changed! When she listened to any music, she danced. There was a toy penguin that played dance music that Gabriella loved to listen to, a "hip hop"-like version of the Christmas carol "Jingle Bells": she danced with it every time. She was so funny and so cute to watch! She babbled a lot and didn't say any words especially said "mama" and "dada".

At grandparents Morge's, they have one stair between living room and kitchen. We don't have stairs at our apartment, so we had to watch Gabriella and taught her how to walk up it. At first, she was not able to climb up the stair from living room to kitchen. She struggled with her legs to go over and pulled herself up to it. She figured it out until she finally did it. Oh boy.. she did it repeatedly. I tried to teach her how to get down to the one step of stair. She didn't understand that feet go down first, not head down first.

Here are two videos of Gabriella dancing with her beloved penguin:
