Claire has exhibited more independence this month. She is very content playing by herself unless she is tired. She flips through her books, plays with her cars, but loves most the noise of anything scraping the floor. She babbles frequently, but nothing that resembles a word in the English language.
Claire now has seven teeth (four upper and three bottoms). There doesn't seem to be a food she doesn't like. She is still nursing, but only 2-4 times a day. We both still enjoy the experience and I will be sad to see it end in the next couple of months. She is very good with her sippy and finger foods.
Claire crawls around all over the place whether it is to chase Molly, pick up a leaf that has been tracked in the house, or to get to Momma or Daddy. When she does find a leaf, if you ask her, "Can you give that to me?" she gently places it in your hand.
Andrew used to ask Claire to, "Give me five." then she would and we would clap saying, "Yay!" Now when he asks, she goes straight to the clapping and we still reply with, "Yay!" Her clapping can be a little random. She sometimes claps when she's crying, or in her stroller while we're on a walk. We love it!
Claire likes to give Molly loving. Usually this means poking at Molly's toenails, pulling at her collar, or patting her. Molly takes it all very well and is appreciative when we help Claire with her petting and keep Claire's little fingers away from Molly's eyes and nose.
I took Claire to a Mother's Forum at church last week and she interacted well with the other babies and toddlers. She was very happy to sit in the middle of the circle playing with toys and nibbling on the cracker pieces that sprinkled the floor after 8 toddlers got a hold of the box.
