First Pony-Tail

She has just enough hair to put a little clip in the top. Not a rubberband but just a clip. It makes her look so much older to me.

Eight months old

Ain't she sweet.

To Eat or Not to Eat

This is the face she makes when she eats. You can see why it's hard to tell if she likes it or not. She seems to like it because she grabs at it and continues to put it in her mouth. But then there's this face that makes me think she doesn't like it. This cracker is huge progress though. At least she eats crackers now!

Claire has teeth! and allergies...

Claire's first two teeth poked through. The bottom two came in at the same time. I'm not sure I can get a good picture 'til they come in more so this is just a text post. She has been fussy. So now we can attribute it to the teeth. So maybe now she will eat?... We are having quite the time with this actually. She got tested for allergies because I told the doctor she got a rash on her face when she ate cereal. And so we found out she is allergic to milk and eggs. And, because she won't take a bottle and is still nursing I have had to cut out all milk and eggs from my diet. However, there is a good posibility she will outgrow it. So having said that, her eating issues could have stemmed from food being assosiated with stomach aches/pains. She has been very resistant to everything we have tried. And yes I have tried everything! I guess we will just wait until she is ready and hope she outgrows the allergies. She is still a beautiful, healthy, happy baby! We are very blessed to have such a wonderful baby!
