These are the official 8 Month Pictures, unless we take more, but they're probably it. We did this after Daniel's train pictures. We only managed to get a few of her before he stole her off to go play. It was probably a 10:1 ratio of time between pictures for Daniel and then what I could fire off of Claire. She doesn't move too much though, so that makes things a good bit easier.

For those of you keeping score, she was 19 lbs, 5 oz the other day.

Oh, there's a top tooth coming in which brings her score to 3. And uhhh, seahorse, it's what's for dinner.

We took Daniel to the playground today. There wasn't really anything there for her to do except look cute. She'll be walking soon and then we can kinda let her loose, but until then she's not going too far.

Claire's always cramming Daniel's toys and other random household objects into her mouth, so we thought that it might be an idea to try food for once. As with Daniel, first go around was sweet potatoes. Since then she's also had butternut squash, pears, and a motorized Thomas the Tank Engine that was still running at the time.

Customary 7 month pictures. And no, I have no idea what's up with the tongue so don't ask. She was 18 pounds 2 ounces when she turned 7 months old. She's crawling all over the place, pulling up to standing, and doing a little unassisted standing and cruising.

Apparently being sick all last week didn't slow Claire down. During that time, we confirmed the existence of a tooth (so far it's just a sharp edge poking out), she figured out how to go from hands and knees to sitting up, and she has officially started crawling. Busy girl! :)
