Nearly Nine Months!

Claire will be 9 months old next week - how did that happen?! At her doctor's visit this week, Claire weighed 23 lbs, 10 oz and was 29 inches long. She doesn't have any teeth yet, but the first one will surely cut in a matter of days - it's close. Claire's constantly on the move and loves to explore. From a sitting position, she'll dig in her heals and scoot on her bottom across the floor. Claire finds Maggie's toys much more interesting than her own, which presents some challenges for the 2 year old. Claire's face lights up when she sees Maggie and she squeals with delight when her sister plays with her. It so fun to see the two girls communicate with each other. Every day at lunch, they do this head tilt-smile-head shake combination of moves back and forth, which is hilarious. Just a sneak peak at the sibling-only, non-verbal language they'll have for the rest of their lives.
