This post is a little bit late but we've been out of town. Claire at 9 weeks has been building on all the skills she has acquired: head control, hand-eye coordination, cooing, etc. She has become more successful at getting her hand to her mouth and is even able to just suck on her thumb but it only lasts for a quick second and then her arm moves on her again. She is definitely talking more. I can sit and have a delightful conversation with her. She has even started making new noises and it is quite adorable.
We took Claire on her first really big road trip this weekend and she handled it like a champ. We went and visited Tim's family and we celebrated the birthdays of Katherine, 9, Thomas, 2, Atticus and Isaiah, 1. Claire adjusted to the new environment and increased noise well. She got up earlier than usual while we were there so I was worried about what would happen after we got home but she went right back into her routine. We were quite busy while there but Claire didn't fuss about it at all. She just went along with it. We had a great time. It was really nice to see everyone.
