Eight Month Check-In

Clara is eight months old! I thought it's time to update on her latest. She's practicing with solid foods. We discovered she hates purees, loves to feed herself, and prefers steamed veggies smooshed a little. Apples make her get that face of 'it's so sour' with one eye half shut and her shoulders shuddering. It's so funny. She's increased the amount of milk she can drink lately. I think it's due to her increased physical activity. She's scooting around and can go from laying on her tummy to sitting up. Busy girl!

What else. Clara likes to cross her ankles when she's sitting. She loves technology. Phones, computers, iPods, tv. Sometimes she says 'ma-ma' and 'da-da' if she's really upset or really excited. We're not completely sure she knows what she's saying. Her other new thing is grabbing one hand with the other and resting them on her tummy. It's very proper for a baby girl. :)

Clara got to meet her Uncle Merle recently. They were so cute together. Here they are in front of Clara's first Christmas tree.
