Claire is 8 months old

June 13th marked the 8 month milestone for Claire. Although she has no teeth yet she is scooting all over the place and close to crawling as well as very intersted in walking just not sure how to get there. We had the priviledge of celebrating my dad's birthday this weekend (hence the good pictures). Auntie B was in town to snap some photos of Claire.



Checking out life on two legs....



She's storing nuts for the winter in those cheeks.



Claire has developed an interest in all things that are not toy..hence the carrot she's gnawing on at the dinner table. Other favorite items of hers include a silicon basting brush, spatula, Lola's collar, and spoons.



On our vacation we learned a new trick from another family with a young one. Help Claire drink water with a straw. She LOVES it. She is also loving sparkling water (homemade, no sodium).
