At 8 Months:

• Clara went from scooting backwards to scooting forward, to army crawling, and eventually crawling!
• Started standing up in her crib (we quickly lowered her mattress)
• Still has no teeth, but is eating more finger foods and mashing things with her gums
• Started doing the "more" sign when she is eating and wants more food

Here are some photos of both girls:

Clara @ 7 Months

At 7 Months, Clara is: 

• rolling all over the place. The minute you put her on her back she immediately flips, making diaper changing a challenge
• going from sitting to crawling position and rocking on hands and knees. She can scoot around in a circle, but no forward movement  yet. 
• Doing lots of squealing and more cooing
• pulling up a little bit, if the circumstances are just right (a toy she wants is up on a nearby surface, like a kid chair,that is just the right height for her to pull on). 

Here are some photos of both girls, including Mollie's day at the Nutcracker with her friends from school: 

Clara 6 Months

At 6 months, Clara is

• Sitting up on her own
• Eating a little bit of solid food. So far she has tried rice cereal, avocado, peas, squash, and bananas. 
• Rolling from back to tummy
• Grabbing at everything in sight, picking up toys, and putting everything in her mouth
• Loves when you spell her name to her (which Mollie loves to do when Clara is fussing)
• Squeals when she is happy
• Has two teeth just under the surface. We hope they pop through very soon.
