eight months.

little miss,

happy eight month birthday our sweet girl. where has the time gone? it seriously seems like yesterday that I was pregnant with you & we were anxiously waiting for you to join our family. we love you more than you know & we cherish every moment that we have with you. you are such a happy baby & you bring so much joy to our home. you are doing so many fun things right now, here are just a few of them...

*  you are babbling like crazy, but haven't said any words yet. daddy thinks your first word is going to be "hi", but I am secretly hoping it's going to be "mama".

* you are getting close to crawling & are trying to pull yourself up on things all the time... you still need to work on that one though:)

* you love your big brother gus like crazy. every time you see him you laugh. we aren't sure if that is because you like him so much, or because you think he looks funny?!

* you like to shake your bottle to hear the noise it makes, therefore you constantly are getting formula in your eyes.

* you love to go to the park & go on the swings.

* you have a mouth full of teeth....six to be exact.

* you light up when daddy walks into the room.

* you laugh out loud all the time & we think it is the cutest thing ever.

* you are starting to arch your back when mommy tries to put you in the car seat (not good).

* you love to bring lily (your blabla) with you wherever we go.

* you love to stand & when we try to make you sit back down you stiffen your legs so we can't (it's quite funny actually).

* you make us so happy.

we love you claire!

love, mommy & daddy
