Why We Love Claire

We love her camera face. She will be all smiles until we break out the camera. Then her eyes get all big and her mouth hangs open. If we want a smile, we have to trick her or hide the camera.

Claire will eat ANYTHING!! Right now she really likes spicy food. Her eyes will start to get watery from the food but she will throw a fit if we take the food away and try to give her something else.

She always wakes up happy in the morning. She will start making a “whoo” sound and will usually continue this until we go get her out of the crib. It sounds like there is an owl in the nursery.

She thinks that Baby Einstein is funny. She gets excited when I put a Baby Einstein movie in for her and she will laugh and clap her hands at her favorite parts.

She hates getting dressed. I mean she really throws a huge fit. It can seriously take at least ten minutes to get her dressed because she is kicking her legs and flipping onto her stomach. And she is screaming the entire time. Im sure the neighbors think that we are beating her each morning and night.

Claire tries to eat the bubbles when she takes a bath. The problem is that she puts her face into the water trying to get them. It scared us to death the first couple of times she did it.

She likes to help unload the dishwasher. Well, actually she likes to play with the silverware while I unload the dishwasher….and occasionally she will hand me something to put away.

She yells for her “dada” during the day but only wants her “mum” at night.

Don’t ask me why, but she loves to sit on the scale in the bathroom.

Whenever she hears the bath water running, she will head into the bathroom and wait by the tub hoping that she gets to take a bath.

When Luke is playing Wii Sports and does good, Claire will get excited and clap along with the people in the game.

She will still usually only poop in a dry diaper. So we will change her wet diaper, wait about fifteen minutes and then change her dirty diaper.

We make this funny sound moving our tongue up and down really fast and Claire loves it. She tries to mimic us but cant. Instead of her tongue moving up and down, she moves it from side to side as fast as she can but still isn't very fast. Of course this doesn't make any sound so she just makes up her own sound while she is doing it.
