Weeeee! Claire had her first ride on the swings this afternoon! There were quite a few kids at the park today and Claire was VERY interested in all of their games. Watching other kids is definitely a favorite activity, she’s totally fascinated by them, even swinging took a backseat when the little girls were balancing on the wood behind her (see photo). Yesterday at the … Continue reading Swiiiiings!

She has twin boys Claire’s age and the three of them seem get a kick out of each other. Kim took pictures so I’ll post them when … Continue reading MIrror, Mirror

We have a new trick guaranteed to get Claire laughing. Introducing the piggy back ride…there is just something so funny about being on Mommy or Daddy’s shoulders that cracks Claire up. AND if done in front of a mirror so she can better see your face as she pulls the “reins” (aka your HAIR) she’ll really get going.
