Claire Bear is 8 months old!

March 11, 2012 and our Claire bear is 8 months old!

This time last year she was:

23 weeks gestation

About the size of a large mango

She was starting to get active and we were starting to feel her move

Now:

She is 8 months old

Weighs 19.6 lbs.

Is probably longer than 28 inches but she's hard to measure!
Her size 9 clothes is getting a little short on her and she's on to some size 12's

She still has only two visible bottom teeth
but it seems like she is working on more.
She is chewing and drooling on everything!

Claire playing with her daddy!


We finally had a nice sunny weekend and were able to take Claire out to the park!
She enjoyed playing on the swings and feeling the grass in her toes.
We had some bubbles that we were playing with and she would try and catch them.
I missed getting a picture of that. Next time.

Achoo!!

Going to the park is one of our new favorite things to do.
We took a walk along the nice trails here in Folsom
to the Folsom Kids Play Park.
Claire's too small to play on the play structure but she sure enjoyed the swings again!

New things:

Claire has an obsession with shoes!

She loves to lick, chew and play with our shoes. Gross!!

We have to hide our shoes from her now.

What a weird little girl.

The baby proofing has begun!

The outlets are covered and the baby gate is blocking the kitchen.

I can't believe how fast she crawls!

She's my little shadow and follows me all over the place.

Her sleeping has gotten a little crazy and there are days we wake up with Claire's feet in our faces!

Daddy has been head bunted a couple of times by her.

But I love waking up to her all cuddled up next to us!

She'll have plenty of time to sleep on her own later.

8 Month Pics

Here are some of Claire's 8 month pictures.

She is wearing one of the adorable hats that our friend Suzanne has crocheted for her.

Suzanne is even teaching me how to crochet. I've made one hat so far.

Enjoy!!

Hope you enjoyed our little update of our Claire Bear!

We can't believe she is 8 months already.

Soon we'll be celebrating her first birthday!
