Joy

Claire is such a happy baby. I can hardly walk around the mall anymore because of all of her admirers! We are constantly stopped so shoppers can talk with her and trade smiles. She grins at everyone and makes friends wherever she goes. This weekend we were in the car on the way home from dinner with Auntie G and Grandmommy (Lee was at Auburn for the weekend). A man pulled up next to us--while moving--and slowed up so he could look at her in her car seat. Of course she was in her adorable new winter hat that Grandmommy got her, so I can't say I blame him. She also caught the eye of the preacher on Sunday. He pointed her out from the pulpit in the middle of his sermon to remark how beautiful she was. She was sleeping in Lee's arms and looked so angelic. Thank you for indulging a proud mama and reading our stories. I know I am completely undeserving of such a beautiful, joyful child, but I am so thankful. She brings nothing but sunshine into my life everyday.

I captured a little bit of her laugh on video and wanted to share it. I will try to get more--sometimes she really gets going and loses her breath! She's also learned how to make quick, loud shout-like noises and that is on this clip as well. She hears Annabelle walking around and she begins to roll over to get to her. I have to quickly end the video so I can grab her and keep her on her palate!
