claire-isms

claire says some funny things. here are a couple of her latest...

-when she is hungry, she'll say "my tummy full." it took awhile for us to catch on.

-one day we were running some errands and i opened a pack of gum in the car. she smelled it all the way back in her seat. she asked what i had, so i said "gum." we went back and forth as she thought i said "some." i attempted to set her straight, but she obviously didn't understand. from that point on "gum" is known as "some." now when she smells my gum she says, "you have some, Momma?" i think this is incredibly cute and it makes us laugh everytime.

-my parents gave her the book "pinkalicious" after it was such a hit with our niece. it has quickly become claire's all-time favorite. she quickly began repeating several lines and often reads it to herself. when she does this, it sounds mostly jibberish, but she clearly says the lines that she repeats when we read to her.

-we took her to open gym for gymnastics again today. she loved it, so we decided to sign her up for her first structured class. it is only her and one three year old, so she should get alot of attention and still have the social interaction. it should be a good fit.

-we've been working on teaching Claire her age and name. when we ask her how old she is, Claire says, "two months."

-i've also been trying to teach her some different songs. our new favorites are "itsy bitsy spider" with the actions and "jesus loves me." claire is too adorable. you can understand every word she says.

-when she is excited, her new thing is to throw her arms in the air and yell, "yay!" she is such a little honey, i could eat her up.
