A Super-Charged 7 Months with Claire

Now that I've touched on the big moments this year, I'm going to move on to what's happening now.  I've been taking pictures of Claire on the 18th of each month to document her growth.  Fortunately, I found these numbered month stickers (found some that I used for Luke too) to put on onesies so I don't have to guess which month is which.  When I look back on them, I realize that she is just getting cuter and cuter every month!  Here they are!

                         

She is so busy and fun.  She is on the verge of crawling…seriously any day!  She got her first tooth (actually it was two teeth) while we were in California at the beginning of August.  She's always been a drooler, but the weeks before that were exceptionally bad.  The drool subsided for a couple weeks, but has recently come back in full force.  She's been so miserable the past couple of days because she has three other teeth coming in, including the top central incisors.  

Claire also LOVES the water, especially bath time.  She would stay in there all night if I let her.  I'm tempted to not give her a nightly bath because they just get her more excited instead of calming her.  She really loves laying in the water and kicking around to splash the water.  She just laughs and laughs.

Another of her favorite things, is Luke.  She will sit and watch him all day.  He loves to get in her face and make funny sounds to make her laugh.  Whenever she wakes up from a nap, he runs to her room to open the door and then insists that he sit in her crib with her.  They roll around each other and "talk" to each other.  It's the cutest thing!

We love our Claire-Bear.  She is so cuddly and fun!  Wouldn't trade her for the world!
