William Beckett and Claire Elise joined us on September 11, 2012 and today they are six months old! Those two tiny beans smile, eat oatmeal, rice cereal, bananas, sweet potatoes, and carrots, reach for objects and Beckett has rolled over a couple of times. Their laughs are contagious and they are each very much their own individual.
Beckett is the life of the party, quick to smile and laugh. He loves being around people and can sit happily for extended periods of time simply watching adults around him converse. He is currently making very high pitched noises and is quite the talker. He naps, but only for short periods of time (lest he miss out on what is going on). Beckett is always interested in what Claire is doing and what she happens to be playing with at any given time. His favorite toy has been his jungle arch (with the koala and dragonfly) for some time now and he still loves his swing. He has a million funny faces that often get captured in photos (and then posted by Chris.)
Claire is beautiful. She does not make as many faces as she once did and her tongue is usually in her mouth these days. But she still often furrows her brow in a way that says she is skeptical about what is going on around her. She loves her baths and makes the sweetest noises (sighs and laughs), but is also trying out some noises that sound a little more like grunts currently. She is always happy to burp for us (we are going to have to stop cheering when she does or explaining to her why she should not do that in public is going to be hard.) Claire loves her hands and studies them and the adult hands around her quite often. And Claire LOVES to dance. She dances all the time (even when she is sleeping (which she also loves to do) - travelling all around her crib each night.)
I cannot express how much I love each of them, but hopefully I can use this space to record some of the daily goings on around here that make me love them so very much.
