Wild Woman

This child.
She is a WILD WOMAN.
She exhausts me. I swear she could have all the movies, all the books, the pantry, the laundry and the pots and pans on the floor in about 15 seconds flat. She is honestly like a tornado. Last night, I packed up the girls and we took dinner up to Anton because he was working late. She immediately opens the top drawer to his desk and finds the coins. I can see her going for them, and yell "Claire, No No!". Her response...she puts the handful of coins in her mouth as fast as she can, and runs. Nice.
Right now I am looking at her with her thumb in her mouth, snuggling on the couch for a quick little break. It won't last long, so I am taking advantage of it. Even though she is super busy, she melts my heart. I love how she talks to me all day in her own little language. She will always answer you if you ask her a question.
Some of my other favorites of hers at 18 months:
Laughs every time you give her her "softie"
How she is always wanting to wear her swimsuit or swim cap.
She loves my gramps. She loves to give him kisses. So funny.
She loves to play with Lilly and chase her.
She is tiny. Only in the 10%.
Her big beautiful brown eyes. They are so expressive.
The way she loves to give kisses.
She could play outside for hours if I would let her.
Her laugh. It happens often...which I love.

Though she is exhausting, there is absolutely no way humanly possible that I could love her more. So lucky she is mine.
