growing up.

yup. thats what claires been up to. its odd. i feel like even though shes barely 8 1/2 months so much has happened in these past 2 weeks. its crazy. shes really not a baby anymore.  

{side note: i dont mean for this post to sound braggy or "look what my baby can do" i just feel like once she hit 8 months she went crazy & all these things are happening at the same time. and everyone always asks "whats new with you" since we see it every day it doesnt seem "new" to us but it is for those of you who dont see us every day}

she loves to scoot up to our tv stand and turn up the volume on our speaker. and it takes me by surprise EVERY TIME. 


she has no fear. she crawls up over everything. even our table legs. which means shes pretty much bent in half and it freaks me out. but 99% of the time she slowly goes over so she doesnt fall or get hurt. its odd.


she just started to get fussy when i feed her. she wants to do it herself. which i know is a good thing and part of development but its soooooo messy! oh well. shes pretty cute despite her peas and carrots mess right? right.




and her teeth. her top two middle ones broke through when she was 8 months. and just a week later her two "fangs" or incisors are breaking through. 6 teeth? CRAZY!


and now shes strong enough to pull herself up. she had been trying to pull herself up for a while. and when she got it. SHE GOT IT. and its THE ONLY thing she wants to do. she pulls herself up by the couch. by the tv stand. by her highchair. under the table. by the baby gate. by our bar stools. anywhere and everywhere all at the same time.
