Claire 9 months

My baby is getting so big. I think she is the most social baby and she is very content if she is being held by me or Dave. Today at church I had to go to the bathroom quickly so I handed her off to a friend. She screamed and screamed and screamed. I came back and took her back and she calmed right down. Then she looked all around and smiled at everyone like she hadn't just been screaming for 5 minutes.


She loves to eat. She is such a good eater. She eats puffs and most of our dinners. I haven't given her meat yet. She loves blueberries and graham crackers. Dave said today at church that he got the bowl of food out and she saw it and it had puffs on the bottom and graham crackers on top. Dave tried to reach in and feed her the puffs and she wouldn't eat any puffs until all the graham crackers were gone. She is the same way with Cherrios. She won't eat them unless it's the only thing offered. She loves to eat with her hands and hates it when we try to intervene or help her.


She is finally consistently sleeping through the night. She goes to bed with the kids at 8 and wakes up around 7ish. It's amazing how much happier I am with a good nights rest without waking up in the middle of the night.


She army crawls everywhere. A couple days ago I lept down the stairs after Claire as she started rolling down. She is so curious and just goes and chases after the kids. She is getting fast at the army crawl. She has started pulling herself up on some things. I don't see her walking anytime soon, she is so lazy. If she doesn't want to crawl but wants to get somewhere she just starts screaching and we come and rescue her. Whenever we pick her up she seems so pleased with herself.

She has four teeth now. She is 17lbs 5oz. She has gone down in percentile and is now where the other kids were. I always thought she was bigger than both of them. She is a happy baby and loves it when we bring her down for the morning or after naps and the kids jump all over her. She is always content when she is playing where Ben and Siena are.
