wow!

At just about 10 months, Claire is growing furiously. I am so blessed to have such a spirited little girl. I may take back those words in a few years though, haha. ;) She thinks just about everything is funny, including our dogs. For some reason they just make her crack up.

She also is trying to stand up on her own. She gets up on one knee and just kind of stays there until someone rescues her. :-P What a silly little lady! I think more teeth are coming in. I see a little sliver of white on her top gums so I'm pretty sure one will be popping out in the next few days.

I have had a week and a half off from work and it's been a slice of heaven being with Claire this entire time. She's such a joy and it's so fun to see her learning new things everyday. I'm not looking forward to returning to work on Tuesday. :( At least I'll be at a branch near my parents house for the next few weeks so I can go see her on my lunch everyday.

We also received some surprising, but much invited news a few days ago. More on that later. ;)
