Eight Months

How is my sweet baby girl EIGHT months!?! To say this has been the most rewarding, most fulfilling, most precious months of my life is an understatement. I am so proud and so privileged to be baby Claire's mother!

At 8 months...
-trying to stand up
-following me from room to room crawling
-talking...dadadadada...mmmmmm (high and low) with her mouth closed
-swimming, holding her breathe under water for a couple seconds
-likes to take it all in
-kissing and patting everything and everyone (such a lover!)
-squirming every where all the time
-rolls over and starts crawling before I can get her diaper changed
-loves her bunny
-obsessed with Dog and Hide and Seek Under the Sea books
-turns the pages when you're reading to her
-loves baths
-refused baby food from 6 to 7 months so at the advice of our pedi started grown up foods...loves bites of avocado, asparagus, yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, pita chips, hummus, cheerios, melons, strawberries, rice and oatmeal cereal
-takes 2 naps a day, dropped the middle of the day at 7 months
-takes music class and swimming lessons
-loves the dogs
-fascinated by cartoons, especially when there is music involved

Here is our beautiful EIGHT month old enjoying a little snack...

Happy Father's Day!

We had a VERY low key Father's Day this year! Clay and I had just gotten home from a weekend in Austin for a friend's wedding so we were ready to relax and love on our baby girl all day. We all watched the U.S. Open Golf Tournament and lounged around the house! What a perfect day with my precious family! Claire and I are very fortunate girls to have such an adoring man in our lives!
Claire doesn't know how lucky she is!

Love love love my baby daddy! Thank you for all that you do!

My Favorites!

Such a big girl! And time to lower the crib mattress even more!


In honor of Father's Day and the U.S. Open, Claire is sporting her Pebble Beach U.S. Open onesie that daddy got her last summer!

Swimming Lessons...

Claire did great at her first day of swimming lessons! The pool was freezing, but it didn't even phase her. (I, on the other hand, couldn't wait to get out!) We are looking forward to lots of time in the pool this summer!

Lathered up in suncreen and ready to go!
