The Past Week
This week has been...well not my favorite. Last Sunday I woke up feeling pretty crappy. No big deal. Just a cold. Until Claire caught it. The poor girl. Between the cough and runny nose and her tummy troubles, I am amazed that she has been pretty much the same, mood wise. I have the best baby in the world. Unfortunately, both of us are still under the weather but I can be thankful that we are both still sleeping well every night.
So our week has been full of this...
I need to take some pictures of Claire and post them soon. She is getting so big! Hopefully we will all be healthy the next time I post.

Little Claire
Lately Claire has exposed some new aspects of her personality. She is a TALKER. She is almost constantly babbling. She says 'da da' all the time but has only said 'mama' a couple of times. She is probably the most social baby I have ever seen. She freaks out when she sees other kids. She loves to watch them in action. At church, another baby and her mom sat in front of us in Sunday School and Claire started squealing and flailing her arms and legs. I had to take her out of the room. The other mom and baby joined us in the foyer because the baby was crying. Claire spotted her again, and same thing. Smiling ear to ear just excited to have found a friend. You should have seen the other baby's face. It was an expression of fear paired with genuine concern. I got a kick out of that.
Claire has a few things that she is obsessed with. The oddest one would be clocks. She LOVES clocks. Every time she sees one, she squeals and smiles and sometimes even laughs. She is especially fond of the one in Devin's parent's house that has a pendulum. Like any baby, she loves mirrors and staring at herself. A few funny habits...Every morning when I pick her up and start to head to the kitchen, she puts both hands on my face (digging her nails into me ever so slightly), gives me a HUGE smile, and big wide eyes. Probably the best part of my day, minus the clawing. Sometimes my face has tiny little scratch marks. I look like I just bought a new kitten or something. Hopefully that phase ends soon. She often goes for the neck too and that's almost as bad as the nose.
Claire is in 12 month clothes for the most part. She is almost 28 inches tall and weighs almost 18 pounds. Growing girl, this one! She can't quite crawl, but that doesn't mean she isn't mobile! Just in the last week she has been rolling all over the place. I give her a small pile of toys on a blanket whenever it's time to play. She selects a toy and rolls around the room just holding it. She will make an occasional stop on her back to play a little and then she keeps rolling until the wall stops her. Don't worry, she never runs into the wall. She sees it, smiles, and rolls the other way until something else gets in her way. Then after a minute or two, she will roll back to the blanket, scoot over to the toys to pick another one, and the whole process ensues again. So funny. She will last upwards of 20 minutes on that.
I will try to take some pictures to post on here in the next little while. Time flies! And I can't believe how big my baby is! 9 months today!

Claire's Conference Weekend
Claire watched some of Conference this time around. Well I guess that the last time around, I was still pregnant. Wow, time flies! I'll admit, I tried to have her nap during at least half of each session. Her usual schedule would have fit perfectly, but we weren't at our house for most of it. But she made it fairly easy to listen. She just stared at the TV. We got a few pictures of her watching but I haven't downloaded them yet. I will post them soon. Here is one super cute pic I took on my phone just before leaving to go to my parent's house to celebrate my birthday yesterday. She looked so cute!

Catch Up...
Sorry I have been MIA for the last while! Here are some pictures of Claire for the last 2 months or so. She just gets cuter and cuter!
Valentines Day! Daddy got her a white rose and fed her rice cereal for the very first time! As you can see it was quite messy but she loved it.
She fell asleep on her side once and only once. I was surprised she didn't roll to her back after a while.
Playing with her favorite toys :)
Grandpa and Grandma Holt gave Claire this musical pink bunny for Christmas and she LOVES it! There is a star on the belly that lights up and she just stares at it. She's learned to push on the buttons to make the bunny sing and play songs. So cute! Love that smile too. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!
Claire's usual sleeping position.
Valentines Day. We put Claire in just her diaper and made a make shift sash out of one of her blankets. Our cute little cupid!
Happy baby in the bumbo! 3 months
The most recent pic of her. Playing on her blanket on Monday -- 5 1/2 months
When Claire was about 3 months old, she started holding her own bottles. That was until we switched to 8 oz bottles instead of 4 oz.
Getting ready for bed. You can tell she's ready.
Well there's your update! We are doing great!

The Latest with Claire
Claire just gets cuter and cuter every day. She is smiling a ton, cooing all the time, especially when she wakes up after a long rest, and so much more. She has held her head up really well since she was a week old but she keeps getting stronger. She is starting to play a little and loves her swing, bouncy chair, and anything with sounds and flashing colors.
We are still struggling to get Claire on a schedule. With my job and everything else going on, it's hard to have consistency in my life let alone for her. But it's a work in progress!
Here are some pics ranging from 8 to 11 weeks.

Claire Through the Weeks
I have had a goal to take a picture of Claire each week on Thursday (since she was born on a Thursday), to show how much she changes as time goes by. I knew if I didn't, I wouldn't see how much she changed since I am with her 24/7.
7 Weeks
6 Weeks at Thanksgiving
5 Weeks
3 Weeks -- I missed the 4 week picture. :(
2 Weeks
1 Week old
The day she was born!
