Warning…very silly picture…it might make you laugh: There is a new chapter in Claire’s bouncing adventures. The jumpster has been relocated upstairs where we actually have moldings in the doorways. Claire now has a freestanding jumperoo downstairs which I can move around for when I’m cooking or doing things around the house. Speaking of cooking, if I’m not doing anything too dangerous (like frying…don’t want … Continue reading Jumping for Joy
Well, sort of! I can’t believe it’s been a year since we found out we were pregnant. I think Claire’s changed quite a bit since then and she’s certainly more photogenic. So here’s a blast from the past – one of our first ultrasound images where Claire (then known as “bean”) measured a whopping 13 mm (half an inch). These are the ultrasound images we … Continue reading Claire is One Year Old!

She looked just like this: Claire requested the thermometer be put under her tongue.No said the meanie nurse.Well what about my ear?No said … Continue reading Our Lil’ Trooper Endures Her Shots
Funny thing about changing your kid’s diapers – it’s always an adventure! There have been some interesting discoveries in Claire’s nappies – the raisin that escaped my salad fork, bits of hair the cats donate, and today a sneeze was unearthed! Well, not really. But I needed a funny opener to tell the story. Usually, I rope Dan into changing Claire before he leaves for … Continue reading Ha! Hee! ACHOO!
White meat or dark? Do you have a preference? Claire certainly does. Here’s a funny sequence of her chomping on the legs of her bug toy. But lately, the thing she’s most interested in is chewing on is her own hands. Thank goodness! If you recall there was time when she preferred her mother’s forearm. Claire’s newest trick seems to be “gathering.” She reaches for … Continue reading White Meat or Dark Meat?
