Oh the Things She Can Do

I haven’t put Claire’s growth, changes, tricks and talents on the blog in a while so I thought I better catch-up.

• She can whistle. And has for a couple of months. She prefers to whistle to singing. Still working on singing.
• She can hand decoratoins on the Christmas tree with the hanger or loops. AND take them off and rearrange . . .
• Hears and airplane and sticks her fingers in her ears.
• She can identify a bowl of baby food peas at five paces . . .
• Fascinated with the Moon right now. Likes to look at it and if it isn’t there she asks if it is done or hiding.
• She likes to say goodbye to the house and is very excited when we get close to the house and starts hollaring “HOME!”
• She was holding the grocery list in the store the other day and I asked her what we needed to buy and she took a serious look at the list and said “Apples.”
