Our time with Claire playing games is no longer one sided! This past week I’ve noticed Claire crouching behind the toy chest in the living room. She pops into a stand with a smile on her face, but I couldn’t say for sure whether this was a game, or just another attempt at standing. Breaking news – she’s definitely playing Peek-A-Boo! Claire is … Continue reading Playdate with Claire
I forgot to post that our little munchkin is finally saying “Mom” and “Dad.” It sounds like a “muhmuhmamama” when she wants me and Dan is known as “duh-dy (spoken quickly and repeated at least three times). Claire looks right at us when she says our names (oh God, we’re Mommy & Daddy to someone). Here are the upright pictures I promised earlier today. What … Continue reading Milestones

Should we rename Claire after Rosie the Riveter? Of course after reading the Wikipedia article I’ve learned that this poster is not actually Rosie, but you get the idea. Read this article for details. Continue reading Resemblance?
It’s the ninth of the month and time again to celebrate Claire’s “birthday.” I find it hard to believe that nine months have passed since Claire joined our family, sometimes it seems as if she was just born and other days it’s hard to imagine what life was like without her. 9 months of pregnancy seemed to take forever, how quickly time moves once a … Continue reading Nine Months Old
Oh how we love our Ergo! I’m thinking a trip to the washing machine is needed for this week, but I’m petrified it will lose some of it’s “magic.”Claire spends hours each day happily “up up Mommy’s back” which is great since I have my hands free to do other things (like blog, wink wink). On the other hand, she’s been cutting her teeth on … Continue reading My Papoose
