Claire 10 months

Oh this sweet baby is getting busy. We are surprised everyday with the new things she can do and say. I asked her the other day if she wanted some crackers and she said, "yah." She also said her cousin's name, "Jake." She loves doing the stairs. Luckily I put up the baby gate. Now if I can just get the kids to keep it closed. She figured out that she can't go down the stairs without falling. So she will sit at the top of them and yell til someone comes to get her. Her other favorite naughty thing to do is to climb up the stairs to our big bathtub and turn on the water. Guess she likes her baths. She has turned into the human vacuum eating anything and everything she finds on the floor. We had a close call with a handful of money in her mouth the other day. One of her favorite games is when I point to where her nose is and then she grabs mine. She giggles and giggles. We are starting into the fit stage and I am sure it is too early for that. But if Ms. Claire doesn't get what she wants she cries and arches her back. Mostly this involves being able to crawl around the floor at restaurants and Walmart. Luckily it seems like we are close to walking. She can cruise around on her walker and balance for a few seconds before sitting down.  Cant imagine all the changes we will have by next month. I am excited and nervous to see.  This is going way to fast for me.
