Claire is at such a cute age right now... almost 2 and 5 months! There are so many sweet things I want to remember about her right now so here are a few random things:
1). For some reason, Claire doesn't like the number 8! She is counting to 12 now but ALWAYS skips 8 - it's been going on for about 2 months now and no matter how many times we go over it, she just goes straight from 7 to 9. One day it will click....
2). For the longest time, Claire has been reversing her usage of "off" and "on" which can be a little confusing at times! This too will click one day and Neil and I will have a silent party to celebrate her triumph!
3). The way she moves her jaw up and down while she nods her head "yes" - it's super cute
4). She loves her goggles but for some reason Claire doesn't want to wear them in the water! She just wants to hold onto them while swimming (tonight we're trying to wear them in the bathtub)
5). "gain" when she wants something again =)
6). Putting her toys in time-out which she does very well and goes through the whole routine. She even watches them from the chair like Daddy does!
7). Claire is so sweet with Rollo
8). Sometimes Claire like to be funny and tell us that something is the wrong color on purpose. That little scrunched up, tilted face when she does it is priceless and we can't help but play along. She thinks she's hilarious!
8). Every night before bed we ask Claire what she wants to thank God for today and it's such a sincere and innocent list that makes my heart melt every time. She lists all our family and her friends by name but sometimes she likes to throw in random things like her toys, all the dogs in her life by name, the mall, going swimming, girls, boys, mosquitoes, Beaux bite me, etc. But the best part is when she thanks God for Jesus - I get goosebumps when she does that on her own and I pray that she continues to thank God for everything - good and not so good. Tonight was the first time she prayed before dinner on her own!
9). Funny and sweet phrases: "Kiss-a my hands", "Awww...what happened?", "Mmmm...mommy!", "That way?", "Come with-is" (come with you or some with me!)
Wow, how life has changed!

hmmm, I'm no expert but maybe Claire's issue with the no. 8 is a genetic way of overcompensating for her mom's over use of 8? It seems no. 8 made it onto your list twice.
Claire sounds precious!
You can probably tell by the sarcasm of that last comment, but it was actually from me, Eric. Apparently I was signed into blogger under Dixie's account.
Yeah that's pretty hilarious - I thought about changing it but maybe I'll just have to keep it that way!! =)
