Gerber Baby?

My mom keeps saying Claire looks like the Gerber Baby. I didn't really see it until I took this picture (this is also her 1st hairdo).

Big Girl

Claire is now mobile! She has a very interesting way of crawling - frog kicks as she pulls herself forward with her arms - but definitely gets around. She can also push herself back into a sitting position and pull up to her knees. The gate has gone back up and the shoes will need to be put back in the closet (they're her favorite thing to chew on). She went to the doctor on Tuesday for her 9 month check up - she weighed 20.6 pounds and was 27 1/2 inches long (about the same size as Ella at 18 months). She also has two teeth on the bottom.

Ella went to the dentist yesterday for the first time and had no cavities! She still doesn't have all her teeth - waiting for one more molar - but the ones she has look great!

9 Months

Can you believe we're already 1 week into June? Where did the last couple months go? It seems summer has arrived - it's supposed to be 90 degrees today!

Claire turned 9 months old this week. We think she weighs about 20 lbs (we'll know for sure in a couple weeks) and she has one tooth on the bottom. She still isn't crawling, but has found other ways to get around - rolling, scooting and lunging. She does now pick her stomach off the floor, so I'm sure it won't be long. Here are some pictures of what we've been up to the last couple weeks:
