Fall

I LOVE fall. Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins. Beautiful fall leaves. Crisp weather. Sweaters. Coffee. Boots. Even the rain on a cozy weekend morning. We are fulling enjoying fall now that it is here, and I don't want it to go by too quickly.

Claire - 7 months

"Claire Claire"
• You are on the move! Right after about six months you were sitting up on your own and starting to rock back and forth on your hands & knees, and then at about 6 ½ months old you just took off crawling!
• Within days of crawling you learned how to pull yourself up standing on anything you could push up with your hands on (toys on the floor, the coffee table, and now the stairs).
• You are trying to stand all the time now and will let go of things and try to balance standing up, you can stay up for about 2-3 seconds sometimes, which I think is pretty impressive for 7 months!
• At the beginning of October we started you at a new daycare near our home in West Seattle. It was kind of sad since you really loved your teachers at your other daycare, especially Miss Ariel who you were very attached to already! But we are excited for your new school which will be great also, and now your dad can pick you up on his way home from work.
• Speaking of your dad…. He is your absolute favorite, funniest person. You say “dadada” all the time, although I’m not convinced yet that you associate that with dad yet, but it’s pretty cute none the less.
• Oh and if I haven’t mentioned this already, now that you crawl… you place a chase game with dad where he comes after you and you crawl away and hide laughing. It’s adorable, and sometimes when he isn’t even playing the game with you and he walks in the room you start crawling away from him laughing.
•  You have 2 teeth! After a day or two of being weirdly grouchy (you are always so happy), all of a sudden your bottom two teeth popped up one day, both at the same time. Now you love eating some solid food like cut up bananas, and your "snacks" (rice puffs which you go CRAZY for).
