Here are some pictures of Claire over the last month or so. Her favorite things right now are drawing and coloring, running wherever she goes, and changing her shoes. haha

Her newest words include: juice, please or peeeaaasss as she says, and shoes.

She still loves coloring and drawing and, as always, reading books!!

However, all of a sudden a couple weeks ago, she started having a definite opinion and preference about what pair of shoes she likes to wear. In fact, she doesnt like to be barefoot at all anymore. From the moment she wakes up and gets a diaper change, we can barely get her breakfast and milk before she is bringing us a pair of shoes and insisting that we put them on her. She does this many times throughout the day. Most days, she cycles through almost every pair she has before bedtime. I am hoping this is a phase and doesnt progress to clothes and outfits!

She blows kisses constantly but has slowed down on the hugs.

She can now show you and hold up one finger when you ask her how old she is. She nods yes and no really well when we ask her questions. She knows and points to almost all body parts when asked now...nose, eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, hair, toes, hands. My favorite is when you ask her where her tummy is and she raising up her shirt to show you her tummy.

She is really starting to eat almost anything and becoming less picky but her favorite foods are: guacamole...without the chips or with just a spoon, pears, peanut butter, and yogurt (but only if she is given her own spoon and allowed to make an absolute mess feeding herself).

She is a big snacker and signs "eat" constantly some days and goes to the pantry to show me what she wants.

She is loads of fun and at such a cute age! She is full of personality and very busy! :)
