We aren't quite sure who enjoyed who more, but each enjoyed the time together. Grandma got to do lots of napping, burping, and bathing (and mom and dad enjoyed her numerous offers to change diapers).Next on the list is Halloween. Claire got to dress up as a monkey and headed out to dad's old office to show off at their annual Halloween party. The costume was rather warm, and Claire quickly went to sleep once it was on, but we think she still had lots of fun:
Claire also enjoyed the outcome of the election...she received an Obama baby onesie at Valerie's baby shower, and we have to confess our shared support (living in a very conservative state leads one to hope for some balance, which isn't going to happen any time soon on the state level, so we'll take it from the national level). How happy was Claire, you ask? This happy:
And finally, Claire has continued her smiling ways, and mom and dad have figured out a few fun games that are great for eliciting big smiles...the best are a slight bonk on the nose accompanied by a loud "boop" noise and a nice belly rub after her evening bath. Even better, we managed to catch a few big smiles on camera:
Claire has decided that she loves the mobile on her crib. We often catch her looking for it no matter what part of the living room we happen to be in. We think that we have even caught her trying to grab it and kick it when she is laying in her crib...though that may just be mom and dad attributing more cause and effect than she actually has figured out so far.Other exciting things include a number of new noises, and Claire has definitely found her lungs (though she still rarely cries for too long). We haven't figured out what any of the new noises mean, but they are really cute. And Claire is looking forward to her first plane trip this week, where she will get to meet her aunt Leana for the first time. All in all, it has been a very fun couple of weeks, and Claire continues to amaze us daily.
