Happy 6 Month Birthday, Claire!

I can't even believe how time has flown. To celebrate, Claire and I went to Petsmart (for the SECOND time this week). They have a cat adoption on the side where you can go into where the cages are and see the cats close up. There's one grey cat that always tries to play with Claire. The first time, Claire screeched and lunged for the cat. This time, she screamed, grabbed the cat, and started laughing. She LOVES that poor cat. It's really sweet, and so fun to watch her laugh and try to grab him.

Afterwards, I thought we'd go explore and go to the lake. However, I ended up missing my exit so I drove downtown for a while till we got to a park. There were TONS of moms out with their kids and it looked like fun. (Guess we found out where they all go!)

I put her in the swing and she laughed the whole time. It was hilarious. She shrieked at all of the babies and tried to make friends. We had a good time. There were lots of trees and shade so we just camped out, had a chat, and ate grass. Only a popsicle to share could have made it any more perfect.


Claire is six months, bursting out of her 12 month clothes. She is so fun and aware of everything around her. She's pretty close to rolling, though she's content to stay put and talk. We're looking forward to her getting mobile. She is still very much a Daddy's girl. The past three months she has developed into an incredible sleeper, though some days she fights her naps. She still eats like she's never seen food only now she also goes for our food! We love to share with her and watch her experience new flavors and textures. As always, the faces are priceless. So far her favorites are fudgesicles, bananas, dad's yogurt, apple blueberry, and applesauce.

I've been trying to take her on an outing each day. It's been so fun being able to get out of the house and explore. We've had a good time. Her appointment is on Monday, so I'll have to update with her height and weight. She is one BIG girl; I'm really curious!

We just adore little miss Claire and couldn't imagine life with out her. The past six months have been an amazing fun adventure. We're so grateful for her and her personality. She's definitely a perfect fit!
