Claire - 13 Months

Claire - 13 Months 

Is it possible to be in the terrible 2's at just 13 months! Claire definitely knows what she wants and doesn't want. When her brother takes toys from her it’s almost as if the world is ending. She screams at the top of her lungs and fights back. You go girl!

It took 4 weeks of wobbly steps, but she’s finally walking! She’s still very unsteady and falls down a lot, but she doesn’t let it stop her. She spends most of her time trying to keep up with her brother and still adores him…when he’s not taking her toys.

Meeting Cousin Kellen / Farm Visit

Steve and Chelsey brought Kellen back to the farm for a weekend so we decided to join and make the house even crazier for Grandma and Grandpa! We had so much fun getting the cousins together for the first time. Elliott kept asking why everything of Kellen's was "so tiny"? He was so gentle and so good with him.

Claire's First Birthday

I can't believe our little girl is one year old. Some days it feels like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital and some days it feels like an eternity. She has definitely developed her own personality and it's safe to say that you can classify it as "feisty." She's starting to play with her brother, which means she's also starting to fight with her brother. I walked into the playroom the other day to find the two playing tug-of-war with one of Claire's babies. I'll leave that up to your imagination to guess how that ended. Her favorite thing to do is read books. Her eyes light up when you ask her if she wants to read. She even looks for the books in the basket next to her rocking chair and pretty much demands you read to her before you put her to bed. I hope this continues. She weighed almost 27lbs and was 31 3/4 inches long.
