6 Months

 Claire at 6 months

 17.5 pounds

No teeth

Loves her binkie

Scooting around, but not quite crawling

 The time is flying by.... I can't believe how big Claire is getting.  It's so much fun to see her learn and grow, but so sad that she's not my little baby anymore.  
Right now Claire loves her walker.  She gets up and goes and it's nice having lots of hardwood around for her to keep her entertained.  The other day Libby was running around and Claire was right behind her in her walker.... so cute.
 Claire is loving food.
  She loves sweet potatoes, pears and bananas.  She loving eating little puffs and yogurt bites, but really loves Ritz crackers
Claire is definitely a momma's girl and anyone can attest to that.  I've had to work a little outside of my office and she screamed all day for the babysitter.... not good.  She's stayed with her dad a couple of times and been better, but if Mom's around, that's who she wants. 
I'm so grateful everyday for this sweet baby girl in my life.  She's healed my heart in so many ways.  She's definitely a sweetie and I'm so glad to have her here.

The Time We Have Together

Lately time has been on my mind.  Mainly because it's flying by.  Anymore it seems like a month goes by so fast and I'm noticing because my kids are growing like weeds.  And Mitch and Libby remind me daily lately that they can't wait to grow up.  They can't wait for their childhood to be over so they can be "moms and dads" (in Libby's words)  I remind them that this is a great time.  No worries, just enjoy it.  And I'm trying to enjoy every last minute I can.  I feel like as a kid you want to grow up and now that I'm grown up I want to slow time way down.  I love my life right now.  I love my kids, don't want them to grow up into rotten teenagers :)  Just want them to stay young, to have no worries, to be able to keep them with me always....

I'm also glad that this time on Earth is just a short time in our Eternal lives.  As we celebrated Easter I'm continually grateful for my Savior and his sacrifice for us that we may live again.  I'm grateful for the knowledge that in time I can have all my kids with me always and enjoy them all together.  For now I'll keep savoring all the time I have here with these 3 kiddos.
