Care Bears and Stairs

Claire has the biggest eyes, especially when she sees something interesting.



I got her this giant Care Bear at a consignment sale and she loved it when she first saw it.
We finally took the chair off the bottom of the stairs and Claire loves her easy access to climbing.

New Shirt and Pigtails Again

I tried pigtails on Claire again as last time they came out pretty easily. We'll see how long it lasts today...

I got a new shirt a few weeks ago and Claire was very interested in it, so I let her try it on. She was a little confused by it, but she looked adorable!

Nightly Routine

We have gotten in a nightly habit of taking Claire to the park after dinner and before bed. We are lucky enough to have a little park just a few houses down from where we live. She loves it and gets so excited when we tell her to go get her shoes.




She loves to go down the slide with Daddy or by herself.
And if she ate enough dinner then she gets to have dessert when she gets home!

Wagon Ride

Last night Claire discovered the joy of a wagon ride. First she discovered how to climb in by herself. She is also discovering how to climb on chairs, couches, coffee tables, etc. I'm a little nervous about where she is going to climb from there...

Lately

Here's what we've been up to lately. Since we missed blogging for the whole month of June...

The first ones are from a photo shoot I did to try to get some good pictures of Claire for Father's Day. These are some of my favorites.





Claire's is really into "shows". She just starting to say a few words now and if the show gets turned off you will here a lot of "mo" (more) from her.
She also loves water. She loves swimming in her little pool or taking baths. She also LOVES fountains.
I went blueberry picking with some friends on my birthday and decided to make myself a blueberry pie. It was my first try at pie making and it turned out very well if I do say so myself.
