Claire's 2nd Pumpkin!

It seems like yesterday we were posting pictures from the last pumpkin carving. We had a lot of fun today, Claire was able to experience the new textures

Mmm tasty...actually she spit it out pretty quickly

See the matching pumpkins?

Yay! Good work team!

Claire's first snow

We had an early snow this fall. Previously, Claire had been too little to try the ice cold wonder. So as soon as there was snow on the ground, mommy had to take Claire out.

I can't move! 

Hey maybe this isn't so bad

Let's have a taste (Mommy forgot my mittens for a second)

Help I've fallen and I can't get up!

Ok it's been 2 minutes, get me outta here!

Claire's 1st Birthday

On October 14, 2012, Claire celebrated her first birthday with 4 teeth (2 on top and 2 on the bottom). Her favorite word is "dada" and she loves to crawl and play on the swings.

Who me? It's my birthday?!

Claire's new swing-set!

Claire's birthday tutu outfit. She reminded daddy of a cute Turkey full of feathers.

We had a 'small' party with 12 close family and friends to enjoy cake, presents and beautiful weather. We thank everyone for their generous gifts and time. Claire was so excited to get a new swing-set from all of her grandparents. We are so blessed to have such a great family/friends!

This video is of Claire's first cake and taste of real sugar. A long video, but always fun to watch.

Claire's Birthday present

Shh don't tell Claire, but her favorite grandparents (all 4) gave her a new swing set for her birthday. After her parents and Uncle Trav assembled it, she had to try it out. She still doesn't realize it's hers! Thanks Grammi, Grandpa, Nana, and Papa!
