Saturday was filled with hiking. It was a beautiful hike filled with rushing water, and gorgeous views of the mountains. I had never carried a child on my back (I did carry Mya on my front when she was only days old up a mountain), so it was a challenging experience. I was tuckered out. The river was full and rushing due to the large amount of snowfall Montana received this year. The runoff has been causing flooding all across Montana and North Dakota. Although capable of such damage, it was lovely to see and hear. Fun, fun, fun day.
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....
