Wow...1/2 of a year!! I can't believe it has already been 6 months since Claire joined our family. She has changed so much in these past six months. She now shows her likes and dislikes very clearly. Recently she has been throwing little fits when she wants a change of scenery or a new toy. However, she also gets really excited when she sees something she wants to play with. She will throw her arms out to the side, open her mouth wide and almost pant with excitement. My description of it isn't that cute, but she is adorable when she does it. Claire sits up wonderfully in her own and is still rolling everywhere. She knows where her basket of toys is in the living room so as soon as I lay her down she rolls over there and starts pulling toys out.
She had her 6 month check up on Tuesday and everything went well. She weighed 14 lbs and 3.5 oz, and was 25.5 inches long. She got three shots, but did great with them. We also had her 6 month pictures made at The Picture People and I am very pleased with them.
Adam is in the second half of the semester and of course doing great in all his classes. I am enjoying staying at home with Claire. (I have to admit that I don't miss school one bit. Just the people I worked with) I am taking a class through the Seminary Wives Institute and really enjoy that time each week.
In September Claire and I went to visit the McKee family in Loveland, Ohio. We stayed two nights and I had a great time catching Ashley and Daniel, and playing with their sweet kiddos. Claire enjoyed watching the Caedmon and Chloe. She didn't however like Rocky (the dog) I have no idea where she could get that from. :) Ashley got much cuter pictures of the girls, but here is one of Claire and Chloe in their matching dresses.
Fall is such a great time in Kentucky and we are thoroughly enjoying it. We have already celebrated my brother's birthday, gone to the "World's Largest Halloween Party" at the zoo, had pictures made and are planning a trip to the local Huber's Farm in a couple of weeks. Such a fun month!!
