Claire - 9 months old

Claire turned 9 months old this month! I can't believe that 9 months have already gone by......it doesn't seem possible! We had her well check-up this past week and she weighed 17lbs and 13ozs. She is such a fun child! She is so happy and smiles at everybody. I find myself wanting to scoop her up and give her kisses constantly! This is how I find her in the mornings and after her naps........she is now pulling up on everything and loves to stand and see the world. This weekend, I've even noticed her letting go with one hand to do something else! Oh my!

Claire has two teeth on bottom that she has had for about three months now. We can tell that she is really trying to cut some more teeth, because she gnaws and chews on EVERYTHING....including her crib! (Pictured below) We also call her our little garbage disposal.....I pull a variety of things out of her mouth on a daily basis! Yucky!

(This is the edge of the crib ...... those are teeth scrapes! There is another grouping on the other end from Chloe.)


Another of Claire's favorite activities these days is unloading bookshelves. In the picture above, she's in her room "reading" her books. Below, she is working on pulling all of Chloe's books on the floor so that she can "read" them!

What a delight this child is to us......we are so blessed and thankful as we watch her develop and grow!
