Our baby is 8 months old today




Wow! Where does the time go. I cannot believe we have had Claire in our lives for 8 months already. It feels like just yesterday that we found out we were pregnant. Everyone tells you that once you have kids, time goes by even faster and they are correct. I look forward to each and every day to watch Claire discover and explore new things.

These past few weeks have been busy for Claire. She got to spend some time with her Nanny and Papa which she loved and she is missing all of their attention greatly already. I think she got a little spoiled with them here, but I guess that is what grandparents are suppose to do. We have gotten to watch Claire start to "crawl". I am not sure if you can call it crawling, but she has started to scoot backward some to get places. I have a feeling crawling the correct way will be in the near future. Nanny and Papa also got to watch Claire pull herself up using the laundry basket. She will not do it for mom or dad yet though. She has been big into waving hello and goodbye and loves to play peak-a-boo in the mirror.

Today we tried papaya and she loved it. Glad she likes a wide variety of foods so far. Her favorites seem to be sweet potato, squash, apricots, and peaches. We have been giving her bite size pieces of cooked apple, pear, and banana and she does well with them too.

For the past 9 days Claire has been sleeping through the night...finally! She does not even wake up for a bottle anymore. Mommy is LOVING this! Although, I do still wake up about twice a night and go check on her. Just something I have to do! We hope that you have had fun watching our baby grow up and we look forward to sharing more exciting times with y'all.
