todays letter is c

c is for cardigans and climbing. and of course claire.

just had to share these pictures. im lovin claire in cardigans. (thanks to some inspiration from emma on her birthday) claire has really taken a liking to this chair lately. when it gets quiet in the house, half the time she can be found just sitting in her chair. lounging. the ex-dance liner in me hopes her flexibility stays like this...

and then climbing. man on man has she gotten some muscle & climbing ability. it amazes me that she knows to bring this little push toy to the side of the couch or the gate & can climb up on it.

late entry

over memorial day weekend we trekked on over to wi to see family & friends and to celebrate our neice's 2nd birthday. we had a lot of fun...so much fun that i didnt get a lot of pictures (bad mom, i know)

even though she doesnt look like a happy camper here, claire had so much fun playing with her cousins and seeing her extended wi family. she even got to play with her friend jameson too. buuuut check out that hair! its growing!

we went out to eat and claire loved eating grandma kellys supper with her. we even attempted to get a shot of all three grandkids...as you can see...its pretty funny & pretty much impossible to get everyone looking the same way at the same time...and you gotta love all these facial expressions too!

grandma kelly also found this piano at a garage sale (i think) claire loves it! shes always walking around it, sitting down and trying to play some music. that is when she isnt distracted by her purse. she loves this purse & some how knows to put it on her arm...

claires hobbies

she loves to play with my hair. and of course by play i mean pull. 

she loves to bite. anything and everything. even us. and boy oh boy does it hurt. 

and just like mommy, she likes to read. well techinically its looking at every book, pulilng all the books off the shelf or having mom or dad read to her. same thing right? 

and since ive been doing a craft project with balloons, she has been enjoying playing with those too. she even popped one and didnt get scared or cry or anything just sat there.
