Diem is eight months old.

Today she had a few firsts:
~1st time wearing her new outfit inspired by her aunt Breanne's favorite color combo -- navy blue, yellow, and gray.
~1st time swimming. She loved it! Thanks for inviting us Elsie.
~1st attemp at crawling. Well, it was more like an army crawl, but she got to what she wanted. As you can see from the (out of order) pictures.

Happy Day!

~The chicken wing is gone and has been replaced with lizard skin.

~Diem is getting reacquainted with her left arm.

~Diem's 2 bottom teeth finally broke through, so we can all sleep through the night again.

~It is sunny!!!

Chicken Wing

Diem has a new accessory...

and of course it is pink.

I think she pulls it off very well.

Cute as ever.

Diem took a little tumble and hurt her wrist. She had a splint for a few days and now has a cast. We have nicknamed it "chicken wing" because she loves to shake it around. She has been a tough girl throughout the whole thing. Sometimes I forget she even has a cast until she clubs me in the face with it.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
