On a very happy note, today I have an ultrasound to thoroughly check out our little bambino or bambina. That too will be determined. I am having them write the gender on a card, but I am not taking my eyes off the screen. I generally can't tell what I am looking at anyway, so I am not sure if it will matter. I am and have been somewhat convinced for sometime that we are having a boy. I don't know what it is that makes me feel this way. I just do. Chris claims he has no idea and doesn't want to say either way as he was wrong last time. I guess we will see. Either way, obviously, we will both be happy as babies are such a gift.
Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
