Lots going on with little Claire right now. She’s teething (I think it’s one of the top teeth) and going through a bit of separation anxiety when we drop her off at daycare. This last weekend she just wasn’t a happy camper like she usually is. We did a lot of running around- went to a meet-up to try and get to know other parents in the area (Jeff wasn’t so thrilled with it), went shopping (all of Saturday afternoon), went to church, watched the Blue Angels from a Kirkland park, more shopping, just a lot of moving around. She was trying to catch some zzz’s when she could. When night time came, she just cried and cried and cried. Reminded of us the good old days (ha!). She woke up every 15 minutes Saturday night from the time she went to bed until we went to bed (so from 8-11 pm!). She has this thing now where she rolls from her back to her tummy and sleeps like that all night long. I think that maybe her neck hurts or something and that’s why she whimpers during the night. She also didn’t eat much this weekend. We ended up giving her some Tylenol on Sunday night, and it helped a little, but then she was awake at 4:30 am Monday morning. We just brought her into bed with us so that she could get some sleep (but we didn’t get any).
I thought maybe she’d be okay with the separation anxiety, but when I went to drop her off at daycare yesterday she clung onto me when Priscilla was trying to take her. Even Priscilla said she looked sad.
Anyway, enough of not so great stories. Claire’s still a happy girl. She’s just going through a rough phase. Tonight we go to the church to meet to talk about her baptism on August 23rd. So excited for it! It will be a proud day for the family.
Here’s a few random pics of Claire.
We just put the gate up at the top of the stairs...looks like Claire wants out!
