one of my friends recently asked me if i see similarities and differences between Claire and Skye now that Claire is getting older. it got me thinking. the biggest difference so far is Claire will sit and play for a while by herself as long as she has enough things around her to keep her interest. Skye never did that. i always had to sit and play with her and only recently did she develop the ability to play by herself. there are also some really endearing things that Claire does that are uniquely her. like if she's tired or needs to be held, she'll sort of throw herself at me. her face breaks out into this huge smile whenever she is in the standing position. when she is laying down and she's very excited, she moves her arms and legs so fast. she never tries to roll over. i remember Skye at this age rolling all over the bed and often falling off our bed in the middle of the night... Claire barely moves in her sleep! and of course, there's Claire's morse code which i mentioned previously.
there are definite similarities though. both girls developed stranger anxiety really early on. neither of them are good nappers, even though everyone told me the second one sleeps better! and both are pretty good eaters.
i've been on the hunt for rusks and have failed to find them. Claire enjoys snatching food off our plates and i've found she enjoys salivating all over hard crusts of bread. trouble is, can't find rusks here. did find something similar, but had hydrogenated oils and trans fats, i couldn't get them. so i'm trying to make rusks at home by putting slices of homemade bread in a very low oven to dry them out and harden them. we'll see how they work!
