We've enjoyed another wonderful visit with parents. My parents arrived Thursday afternoon from Washington to enjoy a three-day weekend with us. I put my parents right to work watching Claire while I rushed off for an evening of parent-teacher conferences, but then I had Friday off so we were able to have three uninterrupted days together. Claire, of course, loved the extra attention, and I loved having extra help around the house. In the past few days Claire has really found her voice and has started chatting and babbling up a storm. She's also discovered she can scream in frustration, especially when she's convinced Mom's arms are the ONLY place good enough for her to be at a particular moment. It's fun to see her get more and more personality--which my mom described as "intense." She's in constant motion and enjoys looking at the world while upside down. (I'm trying not to read into that one....) While the house seems empty again now that my parents have left, we can look forward to a visit from Nate's mom in early December and then a trip to Washington over Christmas to see my family again. (I don't have many pictures from this weekend because Grandma took most of them; I do have a family picture we took while they were visiting though.)
