First Steps!
Claire took her first steps yesterday (Sunday, July 27) – hooray! I was in the living room with Claire and after spending SIX hours in the car she was so happy to get some floor time in. She pulled herself up on a dining room chair and then did a little two-step in place and then ventured forward with the other foot. I scrambled to … Continue reading First Steps!
Who Needs Toys?
It seems that Claire (and babies in general) appreciates most the “impromptu” toys we find around the house. She loves to play with tupperware and banging on pots and pans with a spoon keeps her busy forever! When visiting McManda this weekend, Claire really got into playing with this plastic cup we gave her. When it finally got too cracked (and slobbery) to play with … Continue reading Who Needs Toys?
Playdate with Claire
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.

WE NEED MORE PHOTOS ASAP!” – Aunt Annie “Update your blog!” – McManda“Austin says that he won’t come out to play until there are new pics of his cousin, Claire.” – Aunt Annie Especially from … Continue reading Long Awaited Updates!
Claire’s Giggle
I’ve written many times about Claire’s sweet giggling. Hear it for yourself in the video below. I’m not sure which she found more amusing – the plush dog tickling her or chewing on her spoon. Continue reading Claire’s Giggle
Resemblance?
A snippet from an email Dan sent me regarding Claire’s 9 Month Photos: Yay! The mamarazzi has struck again!The pics at the end look like this poster: What do you think? 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?
