Ok, so it has been way to long since I posted last, but life has been hectic. When you have 4 kids someone is bound to have something wrong at any given time. Right now we are fighting fevers and bronchitis. The great thing is, at this point, Claire hasn't gotten what both the boys and I have. I am praying that God keeps her healthy.
She is such a doll and has grown very attached to mommy! I am thankful for this as I really need that for my own bonding with her. At times though, it is exhausting when she just wants mommy. She loves her daddy too and laid in bed with him for a long time this morning, just playing with his face. Her brothers are great at making her laugh (we got some great video of her letting out big laughs when she was playing with Hunter earlier this week).
Claire is walking around furniture and is my first baby to say mama before she has said dada. She is eating lots and will eat almost anything we put in her mouth. God has truly blessed us with a wonderful daughter.
She has also started falling to sleep on her own in her crib. I used to have to rock her, but now when it is nap time or bed time she will let me just lay her down with her binky and and her blankie. I still love rocking her especially when I am giving her a bottle (it is a great time to bond) but now I don't feel like my whole day is just spent in the rocking chair.
I can't wait for next Sunday and her baby shower. It is going to be fun to show her off. I am having a hard time picking out what she is going to wear since she looks cute in everything. I had to buy her some new shoes (size 2) because all of the ones I had were way to big. I guess she won't be joining the size 10 tradition for women in my family (my mom, grandma and I all wear that size:)!
It is hard to think that she has only been with us for 2 months. It feels like she has always been a part of our family. We love her to pieces!
