Meet Claire, our October Birthday Kid of the Month
by Magnetic Me Nov 06 2026
How are you (or did you) celebrating their birthday?
We will be celebrating Claire's first birthday at the zoo with all of her friends and family.
Did you have a theme? If so, what inspired it?
Our theme is "Claire is a spooky ONE". We absolutely LOVE Halloween so we were very excited at the chance to do a Halloween themed birthday for her. Claire was only a week old for the last Halloween and wasn't able to celebrate so this year we are going all out!
What is your favorite part of this age?
I love watching this age learn something new every day. Seeing a baby's brain work right before your eyes is incredibly rewarding and also sometimes funny!
What are their current interests or favorite things?
Claire's favorite things right now are climbing, stuffed animals that she can hug and ANYTHING her older brother is doing. She absolutely adores him and wants to play with anything that he touches. Claire also loves her ride on horse that plays music. Its the first thing she goes to every morning.
How would you describe your baby's personality?
Claire is silly, smart, curious and happy. She is always smiling and always getting into something.
What makes them laugh the hardest?
Claire's brother makes her laugh the hardest.
What is a habit or quirk that you never want to forget?
I never want to forget how she will give someone (or a stuffed animal) a big hug and then pat their back several times as if saying "it's okay, I'm here".
What has parenthood taught you?
Parenthood has taught me to take in every moment, choose my battles wisely, take a lot of pictures and never let go of a hug first.
What is some of your best parenting advice?
The best parenting advice that I have is to celebrate the small moments just as much as the big ones because there is truly nothing better than seeing your children smile and teaching them to be proud of themselves.
