Happy Thanksgiving!
Dan and I are enjoying our little turkey. She’s plenty tender, plump and juicy. Hope your turkey is as delicious as ours. No birds were harmed in the making of this photo…although one baby did wonder what the heck she was doing in roasting pan. 🙂 Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving!
What a Happy Baby!
Claire has started smiling which is soooo exciting. She’s always had those gas smiles (I like the Dr. Sear’s explanation that they are expressions of inner contentment, see below for the quote) but these social smiles are something totally different. She makes eye contact, grins and then sticks her tongue out while wiggling her head back and forth, it’s too cute. The eye contact seems … Continue reading What a Happy Baby!
Baby’s First Snow!
Yay! And this one really counts! We received about 5″ and local schools were closed. Dan worked from home today and we decided to trek outside and try for a family “snow day” picture. As you can see in this cropped version Claire was just thrilled aboutit. Heehee, poor kid she couldn’t even move her arms! Continue reading Baby’s First Snow!
Weekend at the Grands!
While Dan was off hunting for the weekend (no deer!) Claire and I headed down to sleepover Grandbob and his wife’s house. (Ceil has yet to pick out a name, suggestions welcomed). Claire was her usual happy self and managed to fall asleep in a cute position again courtesy of the boppy. We were having some “tummy time” and I guess all the new muscles … Continue reading Weekend at the Grands!
And we’re off!
We’re off like a “herd of turtles” as Kelly would say, but getting out with baby Claire is getting easier and easier. Her carseat doesn’t seem to torture her quite as much and we got tons of shopping done yesterday. Her 6 week check up is Tuesday (has that much time really passed?) and we’re taking bets on her weight. Leave a comment and I’ll … Continue reading And we’re off!
Baby It’s Cold Outside!
Brrr! The cold weather seems to have really hit and sources tell us that our “snowstorm” Friday night into Saturday beat out the Maine crowd for first flakes! I was dying to get Claire outside in her little snowsuit and take a “Baby’s First Snow” picture, but our dusting melted too quickly. I came across this photo I took after feeding Claire on Friday. I … Continue reading Baby It’s Cold Outside!
60th Anniversary
We took the baby on her first long car trip as we headed to New York to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Claire’s great-grandparents. Dinner out with baby went really well, thankfully she slept through most of it and I doubt the diners nearby even noticed there was a newborn nearby! Nan and Pop enjoyed seeing “Princess Claire” again and spent some time snuggling with … Continue reading 60th Anniversary
