Claire is 10 months old

My cute pumpkin is in the double digits and getting cuter and more lovable every minute. She really does have the most pinch-able, kissable cheeks you've ever seen, and she's a snuggle monster- you don't ever want to let her go. Believe me! (Of course I am partial to my own babies.)
Her new trick is that she loves standing and "walking" holding on to your hands. She's still not officially crawling but she manages to get around when she's on the floor - whether that be sliding on her belly across the hardwood floor, or butt-scooching towards a toy. With a little more confidence she'll soon be cruising around the furniture but for now we have been gate-free and loving it.

Also she's starting to cut her first tooth! Which one? The top right! My kids are both so atypical! (I guess they take after me). We're calling her hillbilly with her one scraggly tooth.

We also call her the "Great Imitator" because she loves to mimic you. Make a funny noise with your tongue and she'll follow along. You say "clap" and she claps. She's really a joyful happy baby!

Here's some moments from March & April so far:

Out for breakfast with a buddy
