her mom.
And, um, her mom.
She really is a little mama's girl already. She refuses to allow Hyrum to put her to sleep which usually just involves bouncing on the exercise ball with a soother (that's a pacifier for you non Canadians) in her mouth. She woke up early from a nap yesterday, so Hyrum went up to try and get her back to sleep (yes, we keep trying). I guess she went back to sleep pretty fast, so he decided to just lay next to her and once he got settled in, she opened her eyes a little and looked at him. Then she gave him a dirty look and started crying. She likes him pretty well most of the rest of the time.
A few days ago, a neighbor came to the door to give me something. We stood in the doorway and talked for a minute while I held Claire facing out. Then this woman turned to Claire and said "Hi" to her. The second she did that, my poor baby burst into hysterical sobs and it took me several minutes to calm her down.
She also doesn't usually like when I leave the room, but will stop crying if I just come back. I don't even have to pick her up most of the time, she just wants to see me.
Things she hates: getting dressed (still), taking naps in public, exuberance (don't try laughing loudly near her, and forget cheering crowds)
Things she loves: baths, being naked, chewing on her hands and other "toys", when I sing to her, reading books, and she LOVES TV, she even figured out how to turn around in her exersaucer so she can see it, and no, we don't let her watch

I love the neighbor story. Too funny. I hope she at least tolerates me. I'd hate it if she burst into tears every time I pay attention to her. I'll try not to laugh out loud around her, but that will probably be impossible. Can't wait to see you both! Yay.
LOL. I cracked up several times. I can't wait to see her this week to see if we can sufficiently confuse her enough so that she kinda likes me. I guess she gets this from us, right?
LOL!!!! That kinda sounds like Ella....like right now at almost 2 ;)
Brie!
I have been so out of touch with the rest of the world lately. I just checked my email for the first time in a week. Pretty pathetic.
Your family is so cute!! And now I get why you said you love the name "Claire" :) We would love to hang out...and if you insist on bringing us dinner, we certainly won't turn you away! :) I'll keep checking my email and blog more regularly so we can keep in touch. Also my number is (801) 425-1172. Call if you want!
PS I think I spent about an hour checking out your blog...so cute!
