Claire Pictures

Not the most attractive picture of me, but da baby sure looks cute. :) This was a rare moment...rare because Claire was actually cuddling with me. She cuddled with me for 45 mins watching a Sesame Street thing on TV, because she wasn't feeling well. It was so cute, because she would rub my hand with her fingers or my arm – if you look, you can see her hand doing that here. I really do love cuddling with her...it just gets better as she gets older. :)

We're still cuddling awhile later, and this time I smiled...although it's a funky smile. Still not my best picture. But Claire sure looks cute as she plays with my watch, hehe. :)

LOL, this...okay...this is where my mom was really bad. She was all, "See if she'll take some hamburger" to try to cheer Claire up, and so I did. *cough* Next I know, the baby's cheery alright! And perky! And awake! And hungry! Apparently the reason why she was all not feeling well was because she hadn't eaten anything all day. *cough* She ate almost the whole hamburger...and some fries. *cough* Kris says she's the mean mommy and we're Claire's fairy godmothers. lol ;)

Hehe, this is where Claire was learning how to share! :) She saw it as a fun game actually. She would feed me a french fry and then feed herself one. Or she'd bite into one and feed me the other half of it. Something like that. It was so cute. :)

Happy baby and her McDonald's! Oh good Lord, we're an awful influence on this baby... LOL. ;)

*laughs* Y'know... Claire is the only one that I would accept soggy fries from. As in, she put it in her mouth and then gave it to me. Sure didn't taste great that way, but for Claire, I'd do almost anything, so...soggy fries it is. :-p Hee, and look at her puffy cheeks, adorable! ;)

Aww, isn't that cute? :) Claire was cleaning up my mom's face after giving her a french fry too. Hehe, I really do love this baby...she is just an angel, I swear. She's gotten over her separation anxiety phase now and comes to us eagerly. She knows who we are and doesn't mind when Kevin and Kris leave her with us. Which is very good, because I was beginning to worry there for a minute. I just love this baby though, I really do. :)

Goofy Baby! :) Look...she's growing in some teeth. It's so adorable. Oh, and while we were babysitting during this time, she pointed at me and said something and I pointed at myself and went "Keri." She looked at my mom and my mom said, "That's Keri." She looked back at me and actually said "Keri" -- I was like EEEE!! Da baby can say my name! It made my heart melt.

*giggles* She was playing hide and seek with me. When she popped up, I "got da baby" with taking a picture. LOL, and you can still see the cheeseburger in her hand. She was carrying it around like a trophy. Yes yes, we are awful babysitters. We know. :-p

This is so cute! She had this toy that's a drum...it plays music and you can hit it like a real drum. But Claire also used it as a seat, and the great thing was it was the perfect size for her little body! It was the cutest thing, so I just had to take a picture. And she knew she was cute too -- she was absolutely hamming it up the whole time. She'd also stick her leg out like she was stretching out. So adorable.

Claire and I were cuddling on the couch, hehe. This time though, I was cuddling with Claire. I was pretending to be the baby with her. I'd put my head on her tummy and lol, she'd push my head away -- that's what you're seeing, the after effects of her pushing me away. It was funny. :)

In a lot of ways, Claire is turning into Sophie -- the baby I used to babysit years ago...in the way of that she thinks it'd be fun to take a headfirst drive off the couch! :-p That's why I'm holding onto her for dear life here, because she was once again trying to be airborne. This is not good on my heart, dangit. lol ;)

And lastly, here's Keri playing the drum with Baby Claire. This time there were actually a lot of pictures of me. LOL, it's weird how sometimes there's tons of pics of me and sometimes I'm lucky if there's one. But alas, that was our babysitting visit with baby Claire. :) I'm sure I'll have some more soon enough. And if you want to see some more with her, I've also put up Christmas pictures from this year separately and she's in there too. Enjoy!
