8 Months!

Claire hit 8 months on October 24th.  Here's a review of our little pumpkin at 8 months old.



Development -  Crawling? Yeah, she's got that!  Getting stronger and braver with how long and how far she will crawl.  She also gets better and better at pulling up on things too.  She also started waving hi intermittently.

Play - She can entertain herself for a good few minutes if she is in the mood.  She still loves chewing on things - socks, strings, straps and the like. She starting to get the hang of cause and effect.  Knowing if you push something a noise will come out.  Getting movements coordinated enough to do it is another matter, but she's getting there.  If you stack something up, she'll rip it down.  Those ring stackers?  Yep, she wants those rings off immediately! She's is becoming less a fan of the doorway jumper and exersaucer.  She wants to be mobile!

Eating - She's eating lots of stuff. Most veggies, fruits, beans, cheese, chicken, and on and on. She definitely prefers finger foods!  You can get in a few bites of something with a spoon if she's really hungry. 

Sleep - In bed by 7:45/8:00, up between 7:30 and 8:30.  Usually 8 to 8.  Two naps most days unless we screw her up by dragging her around with us on errands. (Still the same from last month)
