Eight months have flown by!

So, I don't think Clara has done too many new things since her seven month update (which is actually kind of nice . . . ) Here is what she'd like to say on her eight month birthday:
1. I now have to share mommy and daddy's attention with Darius and Xavier, and it has taught me to appreciate it more. I now snuggle with mommy when I'm tired and will put my head down on her shoulder, which makes mommy ver happy. I crawl up to mommy or daddy a lot and use their legs to stand up so they will pick me up and play with me.
2. I love my foster brothers and will play with them pretty well on the floor. I have gotten over the "I have to crawl to things and stand up constantly" phase, and now I just do that sometimes and I'll play with toys, too.
3. I am a 10-hour/night sleeper, so, as much as mommy would like to put me to bed around 7:30 or 8:00, I'm still waiting until 9:00ish so that I get up around 7:00. I actually wake up around 6:00 and mommy comes and snuggles for a few minutes, then I fall asleep for another hour.

4. I eat lots of things, but puffs are my favorite. I love feeding things to myself. Here I am with daddy . . . notice the drool on my shirt . . . no teeth yet!
I'm so amazing that I even help mom unload the dishwasher!
