Claire is constantly on the move these days. She has been getting into everything she can! She crawls like a pro, and she loves to pull up and "cruise" along the furniture. While standing, she will sometimes reach for my hand when I offer it, and she picks up her feet and takes a few steps while she's holding my hand.
Claire is ALL smiles these days, too! Her smiles make me smile, so we just have a lot of fun! :-) She likes to play with toys and with anything she can get her hands on. She also loves to make noises. She still says mama and dada, among other nonsense syllables, and she seems to enjoy yelling loudly, too. Sometimes she makes loud noises while she inhales, which is pretty amusing!
She is about 21 pounds, and she is almost 28 3/4 inches long. She had her first taste of being sick, but I'm happy to report that she's feeling soooooo much better now!
She rarely sleeps through the night anymore. (I was spoiled for those months at the beginning when she DID sleep through the night! I long for those sleepful nights now, but I guess I should just be grateful they happened at all!) She usually only gets up once, and she usually just needs to eat and will then go back to sleep nicely. That's not always the case, but that is the norm, thankfully.
Claire has turned into a Mama's girl, lately. She always seems to want me if I'm around. She loves interaction with Mom, Dad, and just about anyone else, too. She played a game with us this week. It went like this. I was holding her, and Grandmom said and motioned for Claire to go to her. Claire, who had been looking at Grandmom, then smiled and laughed and turned her head and buried it in my shoulder. She did that numerous times with Grandmom. Then she did the same thing with Aunt Laura and even with Dad, too! It was really funny because she was laughing about it! Her little personality is coming through! She's becoming more and more fun!
