Claire is 11lb 2oz and 23.9in, she's not on the growth chart but, for the most part, she's stayed on the same curve since surgery (other than a dip during the kidney infection).
She is rolling and scooting all over. She scoots by pushing with her legs with her upper body and head sliding along the ground. She has become more expressive and makes the best faces; she likes to stick out her tongue, tuck her bottom lip under her top lip, and make "kissy lips" the most - her "frowny" face is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen, she makes us both cry when she's upset! She says "ma" "ra" "ba" "ah" "eh" "mm" "em" and "da." She holds up her head and supports herself with her elbows. She is reaching for toys and her feet with straight arms. She has figured out how to spit. She started nursing [and now isn't very interested in her hands or pacifier any more]. And she LOVES to sit up [with support] so that she can participate in everything that is going on.
She LOVES attention, I don't necessarily have to be holding her all of the time but she sure does notice when I look away [and lets me know it!]! She wants eye contact and talking at all times. She is still a little unsure of new faces but her love of attention is helping her to get over that pretty quickly. She is full of joy and her smile melts hearts. And she adores getting and giving kisses, they're the one thing that make her giggle!
Here are some pictures:
Thank you all for supporting us, praying for us, and cheering us on these last six months [and during my pregnancy too!]. Your support has touched our hearts so deeply!
Be blessed and Merry Christmas <3.
