Cliona was eight months old yesterday and I feel another update coming on......A happier baby you could not meet. She is all smiles for everyone these days and is a great little eater. Stephen has been giving her all sorts of real foods like toast, cottage cheese and cherrios. I've been a bit slower giving her the 'real stuff' as I'm a bit scared of the poor thing choking. So far so good though... Cliona still loves rattles - she also likes playing with plastic cups that are stackable. The soft toys are probably next and last but not least are her books - we read to her every day but she's not crazy about them. But that's not because she is a super active baby - she has shown no interest in crawling or rolling but she is fasinated with standing and walking. She holds onto our fingers and trys to walk/dance/move. We wonder if she will bypass crawling altogether and go straight to walking? One thing is for sure - we will soon find out :)
