Some things about Claire:
She loves fresh pear slices, yogurt, soggy Life cereal, avocado on sourdough toast, string cheese, and drinking out of a straw.
Most days I have to go back into her room after putting her down for a nap because she stands up in the crib, throws her binky over the side, and yells until I come to retrieve it for her. What she really wants is an extra cuddle. So we snuggle for another minute or two and then she's good. It only takes once!
She LOVES to cuddle. And she makes the cutest little sighing sounds.
She loves the sound velcro makes so we have a problem keeping shoes on her feet.
She made up a "sign" for when she wants me to sing the itsy bitsy spider. She grabs her wrist with one hand, spreads out the fingers on her other, and holds it out in front of her and waves. She gets really excited when we sing songs.
She likes to wrestle and gets pretty feisty. Her idea of wrestling is crawling all over you. It's hilarious when she comes after Paige.
She loves to wave and say hi. She gets excited when Ben comes home in the evening (usually when I'm finishing up cooking dinner) and says, "hi, Dada" repeatedly until he picks her up.
She's still a mama's girl but is getting better at letting other people hold her.
Her sleep schedule is finally pretty predictable. She's always been a good sleeper, I could just never tell when or how long she was going to nap. The last few weeks she's been consistently sleeping 12 hours at night (7pm to 7am), taking a 1 1/2 hour nap in the morning at around 8:30am and a 2 hour nap at around 2:30pm.
She's cruising around everywhere, but not walking on her own yet.
She seems to be fascinated with the cords plugged into electrical outlets and she likes to pull them out. She also likes to get into the lowest drawer in the upstairs bathroom which contains all my hair product.
When she wants to crawl extra fast she tucks her head and charges.
She loves to rip apart paper and suck on it. I had a bunch of magazines that are now in shreds.
She won't actually kiss me, but she'll make the kissing sound.
She finds animated stuffed animals (like if you move their arms and talk for them) funny and frightening at the same time.
Her dimple still melts my heart.
