7 months old!?!

How did it happen so fast?!?

 

Okay, since I am already late posting this(Claire turned 7 months on Monday), we will just do a quick list of seven new things. :)

*Claire loves to yell at people now, it's really cute, I have video.
*She is eating three meals a day, just like the rest of the family, now.
*She keeps getting up on her hands and knees, so crawling is coming soon!
*She is on a pretty regular nap routine of three times a day!
*Claire is absolutely perfect!
*She is endlessly amused by her big brother's antics now and will stare at him for a long time when he's playing next to her on the floor.
*and last but not least, she now says "da da" when she sees her daddy.(and will keep saying it until he comes and picks her up or pays attention to her.)

Pictures with Santa!

BCS had a fundraiser for one of the high school classes, so we got to have an all you can eat pancake breakfast with Santa over the weekend! :) THe kids had a great time, and I didn't have to stand in line and pay a ton of money for some mall santa pictures.

I think they turned out pretty well.

 

After Bubba finally warmed up to him. :)

 

My pretty girl, she's done this many times.

 

All three!

The many faces of Claire

 

 

 

 

My little flirt

 

Sitting outside Carino's ...

 

just chilling.

 

I sit on the bench and am bouncing Claire on my knee, I said to Claire, "Hey pretty girl!". Well, my sweet little Repeat was listening well, 'cause a few minutes later a woman my age sat on the adjacent bench and Bubba just grins at her and says "Hey pretty girl!"

Praying hands

 

Bella was coloring while I made dinner earlier last week, and she showed me this finished picture. She traced each of her hands overlapping, 'cause they are praying. :) She just makes me smile more and more. :)

Cowgirl

 

"The boots are western, the shirt is country, and the arm bands are western, so it all goes together, right?" ~Bella

Trapped!

 

Bubba has been hitting alot lately. Therefore, this has been a common sight in our home. Pobricito, he gets two minutes of time out for every occurance, that totals to like half an hour behind the gate every day!

6 months old!

 

Things I have learned about my angel this month:

1. She can get the puffs from the tray to her mouth all by herself.
2. She sits really well, until she gets distracted by something and then falls over trying to get to it.
3. She can do many fun things with her voice.
4. Claire's first official word is "(B)ella!". It has been repeated twice now, so it's official!
5. She can also babble "da-da" and "la la la la la la la la la ... to infinity ... pretty much.
6. She is ever so loving and just enjoys laying on my chest and snuggling.

I love this little girl, God has once again blessed us with another great surprise. :)

Just cute pictures of Claire ...
