8 months

Daddy, why do you put my stockings on my head?

















Thank you Gigi for the cute outfit!






















Here we are at the zoo! It was a little sunny that afternoon.

Here's my pumpkin that I picked out at the Farmer's Market. However, we had to replace it since it disappeared off our porch :)

Not sure how we would get this pumpkin home.

Hooray Fall is finally here!!! We have been enjoying this cooler weather and being outside. We have visited the zoo this past week, picked out a pumpkin at the Farmer's Market, and also took a trip to the State Fair. Claire loves being outside and with large crowds of people so we really enjoy getting out with her.

Now that she's 8 months old, she has completely mastered the art of crawling and is now interested in learning to climb. We are really having to watch her closer than ever. Gigi and Grandy came in town for a visit and stayed three days with Claire while Matt and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend getaway in Arizona with his company. It was a much needed vacation and Claire had such a good time spending time with her grandparents. Gigi introduced her to teething biscuits while we were away and now she looks forward to afternoon snacks. She has also developed a love for cheerios, baby mum mums, dried peas, and sweet potato puffs. She has really changed into a little toddler this month and it's so much fun to see the daily changes in her!
