Baker Park

We went to Baker Park today with cousins Liam and Lillie

Claire was so excited to see them!

Our big 10 month old girl

Standing at her new favorite toy she borrowed from her cousins....posing for the camera.

Beautiful teethy girl

Accessories

We are mildly obsessed with accessories... headbands, hair bows, shoes... and yes, she is posing for the camera.

This is a fake laugh, I wish I had caught it on video. Claire is faking coughing and laughing these days for attention.

yay

blocks

I found some old blocks I bought long before Claire was born and she loved them.

food food food!

Claire is eating EVERYTHING! We are hardly making her anymore babyfood because she is loving picking up tiny adult food.

Blankie love

We just LOVE our blankie...it is soft and comfy...

And it really cracks her up!

I don't know when this happened... my baby is growing way too fast.

WE'RE CRAWLING

It only took 10 months...and we are finally crawling!
She isn't taking off all over the place just yet, but I bet in the next few days we won't be
able to keep up.

Nine Months

Nine months already! It makes me tear up...literally.
Claire weighs 20 pounds and is 26 inches long and she is in the 75th percentile for both.
We have 4 teeth, and another on it's way in!
She LOVES to eat and her favorites are green beans and blackberries. (she told me.)
She is sleeping ALL NIGHT LONG! (finally!)
We just can't believe how big she is getting.

Laughs

Just uploaded all of my videos and had to share this one just cause she is so stinkin' cute.

We love her giggles.

More Please

We started sign language with Claire around 6 months, and she is finally starting to do it all on her own. She can say "more please", "all done" and "eat." We are so proud of her. :)

Rollie Pollie

My Rolling girl still does not crawl...but she can get from one place to the next her own way.
Wait, do you see knees in this photo?
All I see are dimples...

Look Mommy! I don't need to crawl, I'll just roll.

whew, it tires me out.

Cheeky Grin

We are having a hard time watching the beautiful girl grow up so fast.
We dropped her crib yesterday because she has been pulling herself up on her toys, she will be standing holding her bed rails in no time.

Cousin Cameron!

Claire now has 6 cousins! Cameron is her second cousin on Daddy's side.
We went to visit him for the first time, and boy did she love him, we all did.

Daddy was a little rusty on the newborn front... What a difference holding a 6 pound baby compared to Claire's 17 pound rolls!

Boy, do I miss this non stop sleepy, cuddly, newborn baby stage.
