I am feeling a little sentimental today, not only is my baby 8 months today, but last night I went through all of our (little) baby stuff and took it to the consignment store today. I had three bags of clothes, a swing, a chair, a highchair, bumbo, etc. Don't get me wrong, I am always happy to get rid of clutter, but it made me sad to think that this is the last time I will have any of this baby stuff around. Oh well, I am sure we will soon be filling the house with barbies, ponies, and American Girl dolls, right?
To my sweet Baby C: You are 8 months old today. Since you came around our lives have been filled with more joy than we could have imagined. Your bright and beautiful smile melts my heart more and more each minute of each day. And it's not just me, your brothers are under your spell as well. They would do anything for you and love taking care of you and playing with you. Joe Finney calls you CaraBeana, and B4 calls you LenaGirl. And you love them too. You are really good at giving "kiss attacks" right now and love when your brothers spend time playing with you. As of today, you have four teeth, two on top and two on the bottom. It's a good thing too, because you are LOVING trying new foods now and don't want mommy to cut anything up. Just tonight you ate a whole banana without any help!
You are starting to scoot around a little and will probably be crawling in the next week or two. We took you to the beach for the first time last week and you loved it. Your favorite part is when we would sit down by the ocean and let the waves hit our legs. You would splash around and try to eat the sand. You would also fall asleep in my arms every day and we would take naps on the beach. Oh, my girl, how I love you! I am trying to take it slow and cherish every minute.
More tomorrow on our trip to Fripp Island. See the dresses I made her (above) for our trip last week? Didn't wear them once. I WAY over packed and she wore about 1/3 of what I brought for her!
