Claire is 11 months

My baby girl is one month shy of a year. What a wonderful 11 months it has been. She is still so sweet and happy. She is just such an easy going, mild tempered little girl. She is getting more attached to Joe and I, but we can still leave the room and she does not freak out.

That being said, she is making up for all the time she slept in that swing as a newborn (until about 6 months) and had Joe and I asking "when is she going to wake up?". She has woken up!! Claire is into EVERYTHING. She prefers to dig in closets, empty cabinets, play in toilets and sprint up stairs. Of course, laughing all the way. We "baby proofed" when we moved here and Evan was 12 months old, but he never got into anything. I would purposely open cabinets to let him know, they were "his" and he could go to town. He could have cared less. So, 3 years later, here we are, frantically baby-proofing. Cabinets are being locked, tutorials on shutting toilet seats and closets are ongoing and we are on high alert.
