She's on the move!

Claire rolled from back to front today.  She's been sooo close for the past couple weeks, but just couldn't get over her arm.  Well this afternoon she flipped over and put the BIGGEST smile on her face.  I gave her a big hug, put her back on the floor and she rolled over 3 more times, smiling the whole time. 

Look what I did!!!!

 Ready to roll again!

I don't think I ever posted about the first time she rolled from front to back.  It was back in August.  I was telling Claire's case worker, Jennifer,  (Claire is enrolled in a state program that helps track her development to make sure she stays on track with her milestones)  I was worried because Claire wasn't rolling yet.  To show Jennifer how Claire wouldn't flip, I put her down on her tummy.  Claire looked at me, rolled over and then looked at me as if  to say, "mommy I'm not behind, I can do it!"

I need a raise!

 It's been a long couple of days at the Bowlby house.  We think Baby Claire is teething.  She is VERY cranky, chewing on everything and is using her teething pacifier.  When Troy's mom visited at the end of May we accidentally had her buy Claire a teething pacifier.  It's very hard and Claire never wanted anything to do with it.  We offered it to Claire on Sunday and it hasn't come out of her mouth since.  The only thing that Claire likes is listening to music and having us rock her like a baby.  She will only play with her toys for about 5 minutes before the screaming starts, and let me tell you, Claire has a loud set of lungs on her.  I feel so bad for her.    I want my sweet happy baby back!!!!  On a side note, thanks Nana Bowlby for the Notre Dame onesies, Claire loves showing her team spirit and looking girly while doing it. 

Enjoying a cool October day

Claire wants to control the content on her blog

She wants to see how the computer tastes too.

Time for a haircut!

Slowly but surely Claire's hair is growing.  It's hard to show in pictures, but she is starting to get a cute dirty blonde mohawk on the top of her head.  After her shower today I spiked the hair up and there was enough for a clip!  Claire's friend Ryleigh's mom made her this cute little clip. 

 Feel free to laugh, Claire's daddy did. . . I am so ready to be able to style my little munchkin's hair!

Can you guess. . .

 what Claire is going to be for Halloween?  My friend Jessica made Claire these 2 adorable hats.  One of them is going to be worn as part of her Halloween costume. 

Pretty Pretty Princess

 That's what I call her :)

 It is soooo hard to get her to sit up anymore.  She arches her back and fights you to lay down.

 Happy girl

 Trying to decide her mood.

 Where did mommy put me?
