My girl isn't quite so tiny anymore and these pictures are getting more and more difficult to get. She is still pretty small but she acts like she is so big! She is really getting quite the personality. She is very affectionate but she only gives kisses when it is her idea. If you ask, you probably will not get a kiss. She is so happy to see Judson and I in the afternoons when we get home from work. She is extremely fond of babies, whether it is because she sees herself in the mirror, a baby on a magazine or the tv, or seeing other babies while we are out. She loves babies!
Claire Grace has been crawling for a while now. She has also been pulling up very well for the last month. She can go all over the room using furniture to hold herself up. We have see her stand without holding on about 4 times this month! Heaven help us because I don't know if I am ready for her to be walking just yet! However, I really feel that it will be soon.
She has been loving being outside lately. We have been having the most beautiful weather this is almost summer like in Texas. It has been a very mild winter and now it is the end of March and all of our trees and flowers are blooming. Claire is so happy to just sit and play in her outdoor play pen. I'm thinking that was probably a really smart purchase. We love that it has a canopy so we don't have to worry about mosquitos and wasps that are already out.
This girl is still one GREAT eater! She loves everything. The month some new foods for her were a donut hole, lasagna, Brussel sprouts, and marshmallows. She prefers whatever we are having and that makes it pretty great so that we don't have to fix more than one meal. She still only has one tooth and she loves to bite you with it!
She jabbers and chatters all day long. She squeals and giggles and swings her arms up and down when she is excited or proud of herself. She waves at people to get their attention and she knows to wave when we say "hi" and "bye bye". She likes for you to help her stand on her hands. She thinks that is so silly when you turn her upside down. If you accidently scare her she doesn't get upset but just gives you a quizzical look and then smiles after realizing it is just someone she knows.
She is our favorite part of everyday. She smiles so big when she wakes up and fights us so hard before falling asleep. We love her more than words. I can't even remember what life was like without her. Happy 8 months to our Claire Grace!
