Look who is One Year Old!!


Our baby Claire turned one year on April 13th...I can't believe she is already one year old!!! Here are some things Claire can do at 12 months:

  •  She had her last bottle on her birthday and is now only drinking out of sippy cups (she is not very happy about this, but we recently realized that warmed milk seems to help)
  • Says mama, dada, uh-oh (all the time), and has occasionaly said other phrases that we are still waiting for the repeats like Papa, Boys, and Nana (for Connor we believe)
  • Has the cutest little giggle and smile...especially when her brothers are talking to her 
  • Has a strong personality...she will let you know when she does not appreciate having something being taken away from her or being told no
  •  She is VERY, VERY curious....she has explored every cabinet and drawer in our house that she can reach...she loves to rearrange the entire contents of most as well
  • Waves bye-bye underhanded and gives the occasional open-mouthed kiss
  • Has a great appetite and understands the baby sign for “more” and "all done" (important things to know)
  • Makes yummy noises when she eats or when you ask her if something tastes good
  • Has 6 teeth, 4 on top and 2 on bottom (since she was 7 months old)
  • Loves to be picked up and held...especially if it is mommy or daddy!
  • Sleeps from 8:30 – 6:30...takes naps at daycare regularly, but at home is a challenge just like the boys (so afraid she is going to miss something)
  • Wears size 12 or 18 mos clothes and size 3-4 diapers
  • Weighs 22 lbs, 10 ozs. and is in the 95% for height and 75% in weight...she has been at that weight since about 6 months old with the occasional ups and downs
She is such a joy to our family...and such a great baby! We have been so blessed having her in our lives and to see the impact on our family dynamics. We can only imagine what the coming years hold!!  Enjoy the slideshow of her one year pictures below....
