We just got back from Claire's 1 year visit with Dr. Hostetler! I really do love her! She is so awesome and calm.....I need calm! She just tells it like it is and that is so refreshing with all the opinions and studies out there! I welcome her "frank opinion" on all things to do with Claire.
Claire is saying 3 words now...Mama, Dada, and Bobo (for Bitzy). She has started pointing at things and has become such a terrific eater! We have tried whole milk and are saying good-bye to the bottle starting tomorrow! Wish us luck! I am a "cold turkey" kinda gal, and Miss C is smart enough to try and fuss until she gets her way...so no more bottles here! We were at the lake this weekend and she really started to walk. She is walking more than crawling now. Pretty funny to watch! She still loves all people, but is becoming much more concerned with me leaving the room. She might give a little protest, but is easily comforted. We are down to paci only while sleeping. Claire loves all her stuffed animals. She is really crazy about them and hugs them any chance she gets. She is also giving us hugs......I just want to stop time when it happens. I wouldn't say she is not affectionate, but she is so busy and rarely stops to do anything like that....so when I do get a little hug or kiss (mostly open mouth with a tongue sticking out) I just want to enjoy it for a little longer than it lasts.....about 2 seconds! I am not complaining....will take it any way I can get it! She is climbing on everything and is way more active than I ever imagined! What a great age this is! She is such a happy baby and is always smiling. She even held her hands out for the doctor the minute she walked in the door today. Claire has become so much more attached to Strick lately. When we talk about dada coming home she will look for him and always has a sweet smile when he walks in. She is really infatuated with him here lately and he is loving every minute of it! Me too!
