Baby Claire Pics

It's time for more Claire pictures! :) These pics were all taken between Feb 15th to March 13th, the first couple are from Feb and then the rest are taken at Kevin and Kris' house when my mom and I went to babysit Baby Claire for them in March...just so you have an idea. It's crazy how quickly Baby Claire grows and changes – just in a month's time too! :) In this pic, Baby Claire is all pretty in pink for V Day weekend. I was happy to get some time with her then, she was the only thing that made me happy. *laughs* It's so cute though how the way she seems to know me best is by my necklaces – it's what she always goes for.

Once again, I was going in to give her a kiss and my mom caught it on camera, although I always look weird whenever she catches me mid-kiss, lol. ;)

Hehe, this is a really cute picture... of Dada, Baba, and Mama, hehehe. ;) lol, although Claire has a very interesting expression on her face – she doesn't seem too sure about being held that way. ;) I still think it's really cute-- especially of Kevin, he looks adorable. :)

Now we're babysitting Baby Claire. :) My mom went Claire picture crazy when we arrived and was taking all these pictures of her on the floor, because she'd never seen her do any of this – crawl, sit up, stand up, nothing. I'd seen it from sitting with Kris and Claire a few times during the Sunday church meeting, but my mom hadn't, so she was all estactic and going super crazy. ;) I cut down on the pics though so that you wouldn't see them all and only included the really cute ones – like this one. I love her expression. I can't decide whether she was starting to sit up or going to crawl. *pause* Crap, I just realized both Judy and Kris took both the original and the double of a really cute one of her crawling. Crap. Dangit. And here I was hoping I wasn't going to have to go and get reprints. Le sigh. :-p

Mom threw the camera to me because she wanted a pic of Claire standing up, lol, so I indulged her. Claire was going stand-up crazy all night. She was standing up, sitting down, crawling, standing up again for HOURS. And she was so very pleased with herself every single time, it was so cute. So here's her standing up while we were there.

Oh this is SO cute!!! :-D I love all the ones of her smiling. lol, it was funny because it was like as SOON as Kevin and Kris left, she started hamming it up for the camera the whole time. She loved it when I'd take pictures of her. Either that or she just really digs me now. I can't decide. ;) Isn't that the most precious smile you've ever seen though? Awww. And there's going to be more just like it! Hee! :)

YAY! *cough* Don't mind me, I really like it when there are Keri and Claire pictures. :) And for once I have my hair down, lol. I need a haircut man...I should prolly get that before I start my job, we shall see. :-p Isn't this adorable though? Claire was giggling and lol, had ahold of my necklace of course. She always willingly put up her arms to me when I would pick her up, she seemed to like me holding her because it meant she got to play with my necklace for awhile. As this is evident – otherwise she would be on the ground standing up, sitting down, and crawling all night. ;)

Hehehe, Claire's a little sneaky one. She's eating the mail. LOL, no really she is – see that thing in her hand? It's junk mail. Kris gave it to her because apparently Claire likes to eat paper. I am not alone! *cough* Er, I don't eat paper anymore, but when I was a kid I had a fascination with eating paper. *cough* Now you possibly know too much about me. You must die. ;) This is a really cute one though with mama and baba. :)

AWW!! Another cute one!! Isn't it just adorable? :) LOL, Claire has another fascination with...climbing on Keri. No for real. She likes to climb me. I do not know why, but she does. Maybe it's the inflatables, who knows. *cough* But so my mom was getting a picture and called to Claire...Claire turned around and that's the REAL Claire you're seeing – playful hee! Claire. :) As you can see, I found it incredibly humorous. :)

Baby Claire is showing off cleavage! *shock* LOL, nah, this is Claire...watching TV. She LOVES the TV and laughs at it and everything, she just thinks it's amazing. When we were feeding her some chicken noodle baby food, she was facing the TV and lol, like a true member of this family, she was watching the TV with all her attention and just opening her mouth slightly enough to get the spoon in, eat, and keep watching. She hardly paid attention to us or the food, it was hilarious.

*grins* Sneaky Claire again, hehe. She likes to grab onto the chair footrest part from the floor and pull herself up on it so that she can stand up. That's what she was beginning to do, and she looked so sneaky and like she was so proud of her accomplishment that I had to get a picture. ;)

CUTE! *cough* I have baby issues, okay? Hehehe. ;) She was laughing, I was playing peek-a-boo with her behind the camera to get her to laugh, and sure enough she began laughing. lol, sorry, I tried to get my foot out of the picture as much as possible, but that's as good as I could do. *smirk*

Still playing peek-a-boo and she had another cute expression on her face, hehehe...lol, this time I got my feet out of the way but you got a bit of my legs, sue me. You try taking a picture when the baby is only a foot away from you and you're in a chair. ;) Such a cutie patootie, I swear, I love this baby, I really do. :)

Hee! I was helping Claire walk! I swear, really, just IN our visit, she began to take her first steps. Of course, we didn't tell Kevin and Kris this so they could experience it themselves, but my cousin Chris was there earlier and tried to get her to walk and she just did not know what to do with her feet. She didn't understand how to take steps. However, my mom and I were playing with her and next you know, she began to take a step or two and then sit down, and by the end of the night (in this picture), she took about 5-6 steps before reaching me. She was SO proud of herself and happy and giggling, it was so cute. She would be holding onto the couch...then reach out one hand to me when she saw my hands outstretched to help her, and take my hands (she did it so willingly which showed she trusted me, and that made me feel really good :))...and then she would take her steps! WOO! :)

LOL, and lastly, here she is upon reaching her destination after walking her 5-6 steps. LOL, as soon as she got to me, I saw what she was aiming for in her walking... my necklace. *smirk* Because as soon as she got to me and I picked her up and put her on my lap, she grabbed hold of my necklace for dear life. :)
