A Strawberry Sweet for my Sweetie

Never ever plant mint near a door...observe below. I have already ripped it up twice this year. Ha...we'll show that mint who is boss. We are going to take a Bobcat to this area and put in a nice patio soon. Claire found the perfect seat that is just her size:
It looks like she is scolding someone with this pointing like that:

I love this dress! Awesome! I love the layered look...so many great looks in one!

She likes hats...especially this Barbie one, but it doesn't cover her ears...

Other new Developments

Claire is getting her other top incisor. She loves Popsicles. They are cold and yummy!

She has also been gnawing on her hands a lot again, like when she was younger. Totally the teeth!

She has been able to shut doors if she was in the room since about 8 months...just rolled over and pushed them...but now she can pull the door shut from the room she's in. This is both good and bad. It means she's one step closer to being able to open doors, which is also good and bad. Luckily, our door knobs are pretty high so she can barely reach them.

She's also started to pout if we tell her no or tell her to say sorry about something.

And she's also starting to say words I didn't know she knew how to say. So I'm wondering if she learned them from books or if they were just in her vocab of words she knew, but now has realized how to produce them. Some include "woot, table, monkey, donkey, bush, brush, sky, airp(l)ane, Ernie, Abby, Cookie Elmo (for cookie monster), hug, what, hurt, and jabbies for jammies."

Sweet Treat

Claire loves candy. What baby doesn't? I'm trying to give her lots of snacks as last Monday the Nutritionist from First Steps came to weigh her and she was 23.11, which is down a few ounces. It's funny though because she's been eating and sleeping A LOT.

I think she's having a growth spurt!
