She is learning to eat chunky foods herself. Starting a Christmas dinner she fed herself peas and carrots. She also nibbled on some of grandma's homemade reason for Christmas breakfast. She made happy sound each bite she took of the delicious bread.
Today after her morning nap, I found her pulling herself up over her crib. It was instantly time to lower the crib. She now sleeps below the kissable height. I can't bend into her crib and kiss her soft, warm cheeks good night before I go to bed. :(
Clair is my one child who likes to sleep on her tummy. Ever since she could confidently role, we often find her sleeping on her belly. This is another way she is a bit like her mama.
Clair is in constant motion. She can do a pretty good army crawl throughout a given room to explore just about anything she wants. She still gets the shakes with anticipation of her holding something she really wants, such as her mama. This makes me feel so good. It is evident this girl loves me so. Babies give such unconditional love to their parents. It doesn't matter what I do, she gazes at me with all the love and forgiveness in the world. If Only we could keep that innocent and that ability to love unconditionally has we age. This is something I hope I can get better at for my children sakes.
There is such a pleasure. She delights not only me, but everyone that meets her.
