Claire is 8 months old this week, and she has celebrated by doing a ton of stuff! She officially is crawling, it is so exciting. She can move her little pudgy legs and arms and get from here to there. She also is starting to babble. We have heard lots of "ma-ma-ma's, ga-ga-ga's & da-da-da's". Finally, she pulled herself up to a standing position in the crib for the first time on her own, and also can move from a laying down position to a seated position herself. She is 20.5 lbs and 28" inches long, which we looked up is still 75-95%. Our big girl is growing up too fast!
I'm kind of a big deal
Here is a little video of her "talking":
This past weekend we had a really wonderful impromptu visit with Mom, Dad and Grandma, then celebrated Emil's birthday on Sunday. We're still enjoying all those Fall activities as Halloween approaches!
 |
| Luke put his head in Claire's lap and she started stroking his hair. So sweet. He's like his Mom, always angling for someone to play with his hair! |
 |
| Playdate with school friend Joey and his little bro Ryan. |
 |
| Ladybug welcoming Grandma Mary |
 |
| Walk in Open Lands |
 |
| Explaining that Grandma is the princess, but she needs a crown, and he's a knight. |
 |
| Rousing card game during kid naptime. |
 |
| Carving his pumpkin. His interest lasted about 4 seconds. |
 |
| Matt ended up finishing this beauty with Luke's request "A long face with three ears" |
 |
| Claire thinks three ears on a pumpkin is pretty silly! |
 |
| We stopped by my friend Katherine's little girl's 1st bd party on Sunday. It was so fancy and beautiful! |
 |
| Birthday girl Lily. |
 |
| The rest of the day was spent celebrating Emil's birthday. He chose to celebrate by going out on the boat! It was such a beautiful day and fun to have lunch and open presents on the water. |
 |
| Enjoying the sea air in her face! I mean...lake air. |
 |
| We drove the boat all the way up to Kenosha. |
 |
| Luke got bored on the way back home and ended up watching Backyardigans below deck, all snuggled up in the pillows and blankets. This kid has a tough life. |
 |
| Claire fell asleep in Donna's arms on the way back. |
 |
| Birthday dinner |
 |
| Birthday cake! |
 |
| bobbing for apples like in his Halloween book |
 |
| Bam Bam and Luke playing together |
 |
| Hard day at the office - working on her laptop |
