Happy Holidays!

To all of my friends: sorry it's been so long since I've updated you on my latest adventures! It's been kind of busy around here, but don't worry, I have pictures galore!


Missed me, did you?

My Gong-Gong and Po-Po came to visit me for a weekend, so he took LOTS of pictures of me. Here's a link to the photo album of his pictures that he titled "Claire 10 months - many smiles". Hehe. My Po-Po also fed me lots of food like grapes and blackberries. Looks like I'm going to take after her with my love of fruit! I'm pretty much eating everything now except for shellfish, fish, nuts, egg whites, and cow's milk. I definitely have my likes and dislikes though! Just a tip ... if you don't like something, you can throw it off the side of the table and it just goes away! It's great!


Mmmm ... blackberries. Messy AND yummy!

One big event is that I had my first dentist appointment earlier this month. Mommy and Daddy were worried about my extra tooth (they must have been scared that I'm part-shark!), so they took me to a childrens' dentist. The TV built into the ceiling was neat, but I didn't like them sticking their fingers and x-rays and stuff into my mouth. The dentist even commented on how incredibly strong my mouth is! Good news is, it's not an extra tooth, just a weird tooth that's curved. Now I brush my teeth everyday with my toothpaste (okay, not EVERY day) so that I grow up with strong, healthy teeth.


Ho, ho, ho ... green giant

My playgroup had our holiday party at Logan's house. It was so good to see everyone from both halves; some of the babies have gotten so big since the last time I saw them!

Then I got sick. My ever-present daycare cold started moving into my lungs again, so Mommy took me to Dr. Frank who prescribed me breathing treatments. I DO NOT LIKE BREATHING TREATMENTS. The mask part was the worst to where the nurse finally said that I could do it without a mask; Mommy and Daddy just had to follow my face around with the hose. :) At least I got to watch lots of Noggin that week since that's what they used to distract me (Moose and Zee are my favorite), plus they stayed home with me most of that week, so that was nice even though I didn't feel good. I'm better now even though I still have a cough.


I felt a little yucky this day (my 10-month birthday)

*** There's a story here from the week I was sick, but it's too long to go into the details. You can ask Mommy about it; use the keyword "noesbleed". Blech. ***


Last weekend, Ms. Jenny (one of Mommy's best friends from high school) came to visit! I was so excited to finally meet her and went right into her arms to greet her. I also had lots and lots of fun with her sons, Wade and Alex. We played in my playroom, watched movies, and went to the park. I hope I get to see them more often because I sure had a good time.

Sofia (my best friend from school) also had a holiday get together over the weekend, so we went over to her house to play. The two of us are going to get into so much trouble together, I can just tell!


Giggling together

I think that's pretty much it. Still working on the whole walking thing. I have to admit, I'm not that interested in walking by myself since I know that Mommy and Daddy are happy to walk me all around the house. I'm still working on all my sounds, but I seem to have picked up some extra consonants recently. Now if only I could put it all together!


So much padding, no way I'll get hurt!

Mommy gave a pretty long update on her blog too if you're curious, and I've posted my December pics. Happy Holidays and very Merry Christmas to everyone! Since we'll have some extra days at home, I'm sure I'll post again after Santa comes to visit ... because I know he will ... I was a very good girl this year!
