On the same day that Grayson turned two, Clare hit the 8 month milestone! Unfortunately, Julian had just started a turnaround (where he worked 7 days a weeks for long hours every day) so he missed a good chunk of the day but we had fun with friends until he was able to join us. We were very busy this past month with a visit from my mom, Grayson's birthday party, and starting the process of packing up our house.
We are very excited to announce that we are moving back to Phoenix at the start of August! Julian was offered a job in Scottsdale and, while we have enjoyed our year in Oklahoma, we are thrilled to move back close to family and friends! We are moving ourselves this time so I have been working to get the house packed up as much as possible while still keeping it ready for showings since we also listed it to sell. It is extra difficult trying to pack boxes while I have two kids under two "helping." I can't say that I'm thrilled about having to move again after only a year but it's totally worth it to get back to Arizona. We will definitely miss the great friends that we have made here though!
Clare has been growing like a little weed and she is so much fun to have around! She started crawling about a week ago and though she isn't too quick yet, she gets to where she wants to go. Grayson likes that she is moving and he is pretty good at getting her to laugh. Her hair is now long enough to see that it is strawberry blonde and I am in love with the color! We are so grateful to have this sweet little munchkin in our home!
At 8 months Clare:
-weighs about 16 lbs. She doesn't really sit still very well so it's hard to get an exact number but I think it is about 16 lbs.
-I have no idea how long she is because she won't stay still long enough for me to measure :)
-is crawling all over the place. She is faster at crawling than she was at scooting so she is pretty happy and definitely in to more stuff now that she is more mobile.
-likes to eat with her favorite foods being blueberries, sweet potatoes, bananas and veggie bites.
-laughs when her brother is being silly. She is very entertained by everything that he does and she is always watching him. It is so fun to watch them turn into friends!
-loves our evening time with daddy and Grayson playing on the guest bed. She really wants to join in when the boys are wrestling but she just isn't quite big enough yet :)
