Claire's newest discovery is that there is a very cute baby in every mirror she checks. The baby has what must be the standard issue Momma too. Claire tries to engage the baby in conversation by reaching and laughing and the baby generally responds in kind, to Claire's delight. These pictures show Claire looking a little disappointed that the baby's Momma is yet another member of the unceasing paparazzi. Is no place safe? Claire was a big success at the doctor's office last week. She was brave for the immunizations (although she felt pretty sick for the rest of the week---the odds of getting sick are supposed to be 1 in 1000, yeah right), and impressed the doctor by defecating all over him to prove that her guts work. Claire is the very model of the growth chart at 24" and 10lbs for her 2 month check. The doctor noticed that she can sit up with light support from a pillow and that she holds herself erect when up on a shoulder, which he said was kinesthetically advanced for her age. Maybe she'll be a dancer or a musician or a surgeon--something that would make use of her great coordination and muscle control...On Friday night, Claire was the hit of the Parent-to-Parent (a support group for the parents of differently-abled children) Halloween party in her tiger suit, although she slept through the entire party while strapped to me. On Sunday, we stayed for the entire 3 hours for the first time and I was particularly happy to get to attend Relief Society again while she slept in my arms. Tonight is Trunk-or-Treat for the neighborhood, so we'll put on the tiger outfit again and give it a whirl. It's very nice for me that she's getting so that it's exciting for her to see new things and that she likes to be out and about.
