I love this life

Claire is just over 8 months. She’s crawling, pulling up everywhere, eating like crazy and gabbing away.

Once I had a newborn that sweetly laid on my lap and was totally content to just stare at my face during her brief awake moments..

Now I have this kiddo that seriously makes me laugh and have a mini panic attack (“what is she chewing on!?”) every other moment..

Her latest thing is sitting up and pulling up in her crib. I was lucky enough to witness her first attempt, while I peeked through her door, she was just. so. amused. that it made me giggle. Now it’s not so cute. Especially at 3am when she’s half asleep, crying, cause she can’t figure out how to lay back down.

I love this girl.
