Claire Elizabeth

I am having a hard time with Claire growing up. I was shopping the other day to try and find her a Christmas outfit, and realized I was shopping in the wrong area because I was in the newborn section. I keep thinking she is just a brand new baby girl. I hate that she is closer to one year, than a newborn. She is pure joy...really, truly, she is a slice of heaven. She has brought such a sweet spirit into our home. Every time I am holding her, I maul her. I could kiss those cheeks all day long! Some of my recent favorites....
*She LOVES to maul whoever is holding her. Especially her Pops (as you can see below)
*She is a jabber mouth. She talks all day long. It is the sweetest sound.
*She is going to be a busy busy busy child. Her little hands are so quick, and she wants to grab everything in sight.
*She is so close to sitting up. She almost has it down, but still falls backward.
*Her little "jumper" toy is her favorite thing. She loves it!
*She still loves to gaze up at whoever is holding her. This is Antons very favorite thing she does. I am glad I caught it on camera.
*There is a budding friendship between my girls. Claire has always been fascinated and throughly entertained by Lilly, but the feelings haven't always been mutual....until just recently. Lilly loves it when Claire comes in her room to play. I love it.
