5 Months!

I cannot believe we are sneaking up on a half of a year having our little Clare. She is such a joy to be around that it is flying by. Every night, though exhausted, when they go to bed, it makes me a little sad that I never get that day ever again. And that the next morning they are just a little bit different. Clare has accomplished sitting on her own at 5 1/2 months. She's loving having a new view. She rolls around and can often be found in crazy positions in her crib. She is pushing up on all fours occasionally and hates being left behind by everyone. So maybe she has a fire lit under her to learn to crawl. She's very grabby and will try and snatch anything anywhere close (including a chocolate frosted donut she grabbed right off of my plate one morning...apparently she possesses my sweet tooth.) She is laughing more and more and still enchants most she meets with her beaming smile. She is such a great baby girl and I am so privileged to have her as my daughter.
