Dear Claire,
On Saturday, we moved 5 miles that feel much bigger than 5 miles, and you turned 10 months old. Except for a few cranky hours compensating for missed naps, you did amazingly well. It has been fun to watch you explore this new place. This morning we went for a walk and instead of seeing transients, we were eye to eye with a suspicious looking cow. The most amazing development is that somewhere between 9 and 10 months, you figured out that you love to crawl (forward even!). There are serious treasures to check out in our new place. A bookshelf that you had no interest in at the little house held your attention all morning as you attempted to relocate my school books and climb into the bottom shelf. It was way too funny to upset me.
You can tell a lot about a person by his or her first word. Your dad's first word was "bike." Yours was "hi." For you, this word is almost always accompanied with a wave. I love that you wave at people in the market. I love that you clap when I sing off key. Home is where you are. You make me smile.
Love,
Mama

Stop by on your walks sometime! You might wait for a few days, the kids are sick and coughing right now.
Also, I am going to pop over and say hi soon too :)
