Our girl isn’t *quite* a walker yet, but she is certainly a “stander” and a “stepper.” In the past week she’s become quite stable and has pretty good control. She’s even taken 3 and 4 continuous steps in a drunken sailor-styler, but when she really tries to get somewhere it’s back to the good ol’ crawl. Her crawl is wicked fast and gets her into all sorts of trouble in the house.
The outfit above is part of the “Grandma T” collection for Clare. I sent Teresa home with extra fabric from Clare’s birthday party decorations and she turned it into the adorable outfit above. It’s a little bit, so our growing girl will wear it into the fall. Isn’t it cute? I love the details!
Clare has turned into quite the little mimic these days. If we rub our hands together, she rubs her hands together. If we wipe our feet, she wipes her feet. We’ll notice her nodding or shaking her head along with a conversation, or imitating speech patterns more closely than before.
Below are pictures of Clare at the playground with her new nanny, Adam. As you can see she’s turned into quite the “kid” as opposed to baby with her climbing and sliding.
It was also a sad week in the McPherson house when we had to put down our sweet kitty-cat Prowler. He’s been sick for several months but it was still hard to make the decision. We’re missing him a lot around here. Clare has looked around for “kitty” several times and J and I miss his greeting us at the door, his sitting in our lap and his general presence.
Sorry to hear about Prowler. He was a cuddlebug, I’ll miss him when I visit.
