I can’t believe it’s possible, but I love this baby girl more every day! But… we can’t keep her still! Rolling from back to belly and back to move around. She is also the chilliest baby around. Her favorite is to sit in her “frog chair,” play with her butterfly toy, and watch everything around her. 

This month, Claire:

  • went on a boat for the first time,
  • went swimming at the lake for the first time,
  • went on her first vacation to SC,
  • started “blowing raspberries,”
  • celebrated her first 4th of July

Claire loves to laugh (only when inhaling 🤣) and thinks Dada is the funniest.
