Much to the dismay of her parents, Claire has figured out how to climb the dining room chairs. This means that NOTHING is out of reach anymore. Not the folded laundry, not the camera…not your drinks…not the poor cat trying to nap on the table runner… Of course now that Claire has figured out how to get up on the “big girl” chairs, that’s all … Continue reading Fun in the snow
Well fall has officially started – I had to put Claire a hat and jacket for today’s outside playtime. McManda, those leaves have finally arrived and although there aren’t piles of them yet Claire did enjoy playing with them. Here’s a link to the rest of the photos – be sure to check ’em out! Link to “Fall Leaves” Album. Continue reading Play in the Leaves with Me!
We’re back from our yearly trap shoot/camping trip! Things went so well with Claire, I’m really glad we did a trial run recently. Having the pack ‘n play was awesome, butthe biggest difference was the other kids and teens for Claire to play with.

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
Here are the previously mentioned photos from the company picnic. Did Claire enjoy her first brew? You’ll have to ask Daddy and the photographer, Mommy wasn’t around for this one. Continue reading Baby’s First Brew?
