New Happenings


It has been a while since I updated because I thought that no one even looked at my blog (like my mom) but I was pleased to find out that people actually do! So get ready for picture overload.

We just got back from a week in AZ visiting our families. It was a jam packed week! I did not take that many pictures-but here are a few.
My little goober
In my adventures in sewing I decided to make matching dresses for Claire and her cousin. Well they didn't turn out the greatest but I guess it was the thought that counts- hopefully I will get better!

Getting a picture with both babies looking- easier said than done-I must have taken 50 pictures and these were the best. These two girlies are so stinkin' cute. They are only about 7 or 8 weeks apart. It is going to be so fun to see them grow up together!
Claire kept trying to grab and poke Gwen

I love how Claire is holding Gwen's arm

More cousins! Claire is so blessed to have 18 cousins who all love her and want to play with her. Brooke was always wanting to hold her and bring her toys. So cute!
I just stopped nursing and now Claire is on the bottle- needless to say it's been a smooth transition
We were very glad that while we were in AZ it was my Grandmothers 80th birthday bash. We had a great time seeing all of my family. Here is Claire with her Great-Grandpa. Funny thing is that although my Grandpa has gone by Bill most of his life- his first name is Clarence and went by Clare for short. He said that since he has 30+ great grandchildren it is hard to remember all of their names- but Claire's he will always remember!
Her first plane ride- she did so so great!
She is such a good eater and loves eating her puffs!
She sits so well now and loves to look around and see what is going on!
She also loves to stand! Her legs are really strong. The next step is crawling and she is getting close!

Her 7 month pic- I did not get very many good shots because now she discovered the paper and kept ripping it off and playing with it!
