It's been a couple months since my last post. I guess I'm not really a "blogger" if I'm not consistent am I? I have pictures to post and pull from my camera. I've missed taking pics the last few weeks because of work.
Claire is teething so she's been pooping out of her diapers and all over me, it's been a rough couple days but she's got a tooth out and a new one coming in right next to it. She's still smiling and scrunching that little nose when she laughs...we just adore her.
She's brought a job to our lives that we could not have described. I have never enjoyed just looking at something so much as I enjoy looking at my baby girl when she's asleep, so relaxed, in my arms. I love her so much. Claire is 7 1/2 months already and ready to walk. She's pulling up on everything and wants to stand up and dance all the time. I think she'll be a great dancer b/c she is always bouncing everytime she hears music. She gets that from her mother.
Time is flying and part of it is because she's doing things much sooner than she should. I figured she'd be crawling around a lot by Christmas and well, she's been crawling around a lot for almost 3 months now. YIKES, what a little over achiever. She puts everything in her mouth that she can get her hands on and seems to love apples. She has yet to get "sick" and I'm greatful for that. I guess all those shoes she's been eating have helped herh immune system. Her favorite is her dads old soft rubber sandals. She also likes Mom's silver flats with the large rhinestones on the top (great taste in shoes like Mom too).
I love Carey with all of my heart. I still rush home to see him and I love kissing him. He means the world to me. I didn't think I could love him more but when I look at my daugher, OUR daughter, and I see him in her, I fall in love with him over again and it's even stronger. She's him and me and the best of each of us (as far as I can tell) wrapped into this perfect gift from God. We are so blessed.
I thought I had all of God's blessings already but He likes to keep things exciting. God knows what he's doing. I keep saying He must really like Carey and I, so much so that he would give us Claire. "thank you God for this angel" Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I wish I could slow down the growth process...Mom says before I know it she'll be 35 and having her own baby girl....YIKES.
No other big changes or announcements. Living day to day, working hard and long some days. I did start doing jazzercise but not as often as I would like to. I'm seeing a bit of shape beginning in my legs, but not really seeing the weight come off like I thought. I need to start running again. I just can't find the time right now. It'll get easier. :)
