Claire is now 18.1 pounds and 29 inches long. She is 50 percentile for weight and 90 for height.

It hit me how fast time is flying when I took Claire for her 9 month visit on Wednesday. the doctor said that she would see us again when Claire is 1 year old. I almost fell over when I heard that... how can my tiny baby be three months away from being a year old?! She is growing up way to fast. they both are! Claire's personality seems to be showing more and more with each passing week. She is such a love and gives the best cuddles and snuggles. She is also incredibly happy to see anyone and everyone. She can be fussing and if someone walks into the room she gets a huge smile on her face. She is happy to be held by and left with other people. I go to the gym a few days a week and she is perfectly happy in the Daycare. She also loves my friends Molly and Heather. Don't get me wrong, she can also get really really mad. She hates to have things taken away from her. She screams so loud if something is taken. She can play well by herself but she loves attention and would rather be on my hip doing chores with me than playing on her own. Madeleine is still a fantastic big sister. She loves Claire so much and has fun playing with her and there is nothing that makes Claire smile more than seeing Madeleine. They are just so cute and wonderful.
