Our little bear is already 11 months old. I swear it was just yesterday that I gave birth to her and in just a couple more weeks, she's going to be 1 year old! Wow! She has turned into an adorable pre-toddler and is extremely active. If you lay on the floor, she'll amuse herself by climbing over you for as long as you let her. I am so excited for this new stage of her life. We can finally go places and do activities together instead of lay around all day like most newborns. This summer is sure to be full of fun events. Lately Claire has been:
waving "hi" and "bye" when prompted; it is one of my favorite things- enjoying hitting objects against her head; I guess she likes the sound it makes
- hanging out with her cousin, Emma, at Farmor's house
- dreading getting her ears cleaned after bath time
- saying "mmmm" when asked if she wants to eat and also before/after she takes a bite
- hanging out with her favorite buddy, Carson, every time we meet up for dinner
- eating anything and everything she can get her hands on including Khloe's dog food; I really hope she doesn't turn into a picky eater like her Mommy and Daddy
- becoming a little wiggle worm when getting her diaper changed
- climbing up the stairs, clapping when she gets to the top, and trying to dive head first when she wants to go down
- sleeping like a champ; as usual
- cruising around anything she can hold onto
- intrigued by opening up the kitchen cupboards and gets very upset when I hold them closed

| "What? I didn't do anything." |
going through the "clingy" phase; we continue to give her to other people but she still prefers Mommy and Daddy- getting very excited and laughing when you chase her
- saying "nigh nigh" when asked if she wants to go "night night"; so adorable!
- throwing her food to show me that she's finished
- learning animal sounds; she obviously doesn't say any herself but she always smiles when I say them to her
- becoming a little reader or should I say listener; she's already checked books out at the library and has began their Summer Reading Program
- getting more teeth; she hasn't let me check recently, but as of a couple of weeks ago she had 8

Love you so much little Claire Bear! You're almost 1!

I can't believe it's been almost a year! Even more so, I can't believe I've only seen her 1 other time:( I can't wait to see her in 2 weeks. I'll break her of her clingy phase eventually:)
It's so fun to watch little ones grow up, especially your own. Every phase has its positives and negatives, so life is always changing. That makes it fun! It's been so fun for us to see all her little changes.
The picture of her in the cupboard with all the stuff out reminds me of her dad, except he got into the flour can and had flour all over the floor and himself!
