You've changed so much in the last month.
You've just barely figured out forward motion.
(I know this photo is out of focus, but I love it anyway....well, I suppose it's in focus if you want to see her neckline.)
You can get your hiney up a tad bit and pull yourself forward. So fun to watch!
To do it, sometimes it requires sticking your tongue out.
Lots of talking going on here.And feeling her 1st tooth with her tongue.
Mostly, this is the face I see: the classic sucking on your bottom lip.
And this one I just threw in for the cuteness factor.
This for the humor.
You're such a good baby. You occupy yourself playing with just about anything I put in front of you. I've been careful not to over-do it with toys, not to give you too much to play with that you don't know how to play.
Here, you are looking at your great-uncle Jody's old shape-sorter. Anyone remember these?
And this swimming motion gets the most comments from your friends.
You're a joy to be with, we couldn't love you any more than we do at this very moment.
Happy half-Birthday Claire!
And SURPRISE!
