Claire passed the eight month mark while we were on vacation this week. She is becoming more and more active (we didn't think it was possible)...and is definitely keeping us on our toes.
At eight months old Claire:
- LOVES to stand up...despite being vertically challenged, she manages to pull herself up on anything in her sight
- has stood by herself (no hands) for 5 seconds or so a handful of times
- climbs up the stairs
- still has no teeth
- overcame her fear of swimming (hopefully)
- began stealing other babies' food at daycare...this was enough evidence for us to move her up to 3 servings of solids/day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
- expanded her finger food selection beyond Gerber Puffs. So far she has had small pieces of banana, avocado, toast, sweet potato and cheerios. Bananas and Cheerios are by far her favorites
- learned the power of whining...we are sure there will be plenty more of this the rest of her life
- adores other babies and small children...the sight of another little person is enough to send her into a series of giggles
Time will only tell what this next month has in store for us!!

Angie - she is so precious! I love looking at your blog - it is fun to watch Claire grow up, even if only in pictures.
