My Little Pumpkin is 7 Months Old

Clara has been busy getting ready for her first Halloween. Today we picked up the pumpkin and plan on carving it with a smile to match hers... two bottom teeth in the center, and to upper teeth on either side of the center.



It is amazing to me that she is 7 months old. She has slept through the night the last two nights. She crawls all over the place...Fast! She pulls up to standing and cruises around the furniture. She can climb the stairs going up, but hasn't figured out how to come down. And yesterday she pulled her self up to standing and then balanced on her own for a few seconds without hanging onto anything. She is a great eater and usually quite happy as long as she is the center of attention. She makes lots of noises...girgles, grunts, and giggles. The closest thing to a word that she says so far is "dadadadad" which Patrick seems to think is "dad." That pretty much sums up Clara at 7 months.
