Claire - 15 Months

Claire is growing up into a little girl right before our eyes. Her hair is getting long. She's talking more and more. She LOVES to color...and maybe eat the crayons, too. She fights with her brother. And her smile is so infectious. She's going to get her way a lot because she can be screaming at the top of her lungs wanting another cookie, but then she flashes that gorgeous smile...ugh, that smile!

She is finally sleeping through the night again, although now she thinks she wants to be up at the crack of dawn. She's going to be a go-getter!

Could my kids seriously get any goofier!?

Having fun on the new swing set.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

This whole utensil thing is hard work.

Claire - 14 Months 

The whole "toddler" thing doesn't suit Claire very well. She was a really good baby, aside from the massive amounts of spit-up. But now she’s walking, sort of talking, and knows exactly what she wants and when she wants it. She would spend the entire day outside if we let her, but don’t try and constrain her to a stroller…she’ll last about 10 minutes. She’s starting to say a few words including Mommy, Daddy, puppy, and Elliott. Yes, she actually says Elliott. It’s so cute! She’s starting to get a little shy and will bury her head in my shoulder when someone tries to talk to her. Her gorgeous smile makes me forget (sort of) about the fact that she still wants to get up in the middle of night a couple times a week. 

This pretty much sums up Claire's stubbornness 

But seriously, who can resist this little girl...

and her gorgeous smile!
