I don't know where he learned this...

But it's awesome. ;)

Bed head

Claudia woke up from her nap with even bigger hair issues than usual.

So embarrassing!

Waiting...

The last couple days, we've spent more time than usual in waiting rooms. Well, one waiting room.

Chaos vs Order

Children seem to be programmed for mess making. If you stack something up, they knock it over. If you fill something up, they empty it out. I set Claudia on the floor and if there's a laundry basket in sight, she makes a bee line for it and tips it over and throws the laundry around. Has she ever put any laundry back in the basket?? Of course not.

Lunch time

She now kind of understands a sippy cup. But only this one.

What did you just put in my mouth????

I ask myself, what kind of idiot buys a baby high chair with a cloth seat cover? ME, that's who. So half the pictures of her in it, the seat cover is in the wash and she's just sitting in the ugly plastic part of the chair. I'm regretting not buying one I could take outside and hose down as needed. You'd think I'd have figured this out by now.

Braces time!

Before!

During.

And in about two years, I'll post an after picture. :) I realized while taking these pictures that Imogen usually doesn't smile with her teeth and making her show her teeth while smiling looks a little awkward. Which means we're doing all this "for her smile" but... um, not really? Oh well, too late now!

Claudia's hair always sticks out on this side.

Claudia loves yellow squash and zucchini.

Now that she has top teeth and bottom teeth, she can eat it pretty well.

Yummy!

Too far away...

Imogen: "Oh I forgot my sunglasses."
Me: "It's too late to go back. We're too far away to turn back now."
Imogen: "We're in the driveway!"

Relaxing

You may serve me my lunch now.

Hiccups

This is the first video I ever took of Claudia on her first night.

8 months...

Claudia is eight months old now. And I realized that I've already forgotten what she used to look like. I started going through old pictures of her when she was first born and I can't believe how much she's changed! I can't believe how fast the last eight months has gone. But at the same time, I can't imagine life without her.

2 weeks old

Look how blue her eyes are!

Claudia at the park

Claudia has very mixed feelings about shopping

Sometimes she likes it.

Sometimes she doesn't.

SDC again

Someone didn't appreciate the water at all.

Sooo exhausted.

Look who looks all summery
