Saucy Little Thing

In this case, it's literal; there's applesauce all over the girl. But most of the time, it's a pretty good description for Claire's personality. She takes what she wants, lets you know her opinion, and then gives the sweetest hugs and kisses you've ever had. Somehow you end up not minding that she's shrieked at you half the day and destroyed the house, because those sweet moments make up for all the others. She celebrated her nineteen month birthday on Sunday by using full sentences for the first time. In classic Claire fashion one was sweetly said, "Help me down, Mom." And the other was yelled repeatedly at high volume, "I want it, I want it, I want it!" as she grabbed for someone's else's breakfast food. We love you, sweet and saucy Claire.
