10 Months with Adorable Claire!

Claire is so much fun these days! She brings much joy to our family and home. She has such a cute personality and loves to be funny!
*On the day she turned 10 months she decided it was the day she would start to crawl off her tummy. She still does the army crawl when she's got a toy in each hand and doesn't want to put them down to get where she wants to go and when she's trying to get somewhere fast!
*On the same day, she also decided to be interested in climbing the stairs, which we had only done maybe 2 times before. She went half way up before I realized where she was! Brave little soul.
*She loves to play by herself and talk to her toys. Her favorite is to empty all the baskets of toys so she can see them all and then pick some to play with.
*She learned how to wave hi, and bye, though her hand is always facing backwards. (Too cute!)
*She claps when we say "Yay" and when people clap on TV.
*She says "Woo Woo" in a really high pitch voice when we ask her what a doggy says. And when she hears any dog bark.
*She knows how to baby sign please, by patting her chest twice. Sometimes when she really really wants something she pats her chest with both hands!
*She knows how to baby sign more, by clapping her hands together. And when she really really wants something, she claps a lot!
*She also signs food, by rubbing her hand over her mouth and making the "buhbuhbuhbbblbu" sound when she does it.
*She can sign puppy, by patting her hip 2 times.
*Can sit down from a standing position, though at first it always took her a couple tries before she actually sat down. Little practice runs. She would always practice by our tub in the master bathroom... Stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down. :)
*Likes to sing with the music on her toys
*Gives open mouth kisses when asked for one, and sometimes she leans in with a big open mouth to get one all on her own! Love it!
*She cruises around in her new walker
*Absolutely loves fresh blueberries and raspberries. Still loves bananas, avocados and Chex cereal. We decided that Nana was her first word, because she could see and nana and call it by name. :) She's been doing that for a few months now though.
*We chase her and she laughs, or Dale makes her get me and she laughs. She loves to laugh the most when it's almost bedtime!
WE LOVE THIS BABY GIRL!
