Jude's 'walking'

Boogie hunt aka Mommy Jr.

This was a lucky video capture. We had a hard time not laughing too loud! Jude's such a good sport.

Claire's League of Her Own

Gotta love the effort. Daddy's getting ready for little league!

Jude's Million Dollar Smile (and laughter)

Just can't get enough of this kid!

Vacation back 'home'

Because Daddy had a conference in Indianapolis, the Kasper clan decided it would be worth traveling back to Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa to see family and friends!

Travelling in the 21st Century!

This 'high chair' has survived generations of little kids!

Walking with Great Grandpa to get the mail. Claire enjoyed holding onto the walker, but had to teach her not to 'pull'. 

Ker Plunk takes a lot of work!

Playing with Great Grandma.

Learning with Uncle Adam at the Discovery Center in Rockford. 

Climbing around with Aunt Kelly and Baby B.

Hi there...

Taking a closer look at this stud. 

I would like to play with you. 

Forget it, you don't seem like a good friend. 

Learning is FUN!

Claire enjoyed 'calling' Uncle Adam. 

Of course, a girl's gotta shop!

Happy Baby!

Hanging out with Grammy Great!

Celebrating Mimi's 40th birthday!

3 generations of beautiful women!

Ok no more pictures please!

We spent so much time in the pool. it's amazing we don't have more pictures. However it really was hard to keep Claire still for the camera. She was FEARLESS and is definitely due for swim lessons.

Snuggling with Great Grandpa. 

Claire is an equal opportunity snuggler. 

Claire practices sign language!

This has been a prime time to teach Claire a new language. Let's see if you can tell what she's saying!

Jude videorama!

Here are 7 videos for your visual consumption. We have two children...not a lot of time to dink around with blogs and captions. Hopefully you can enjoy these videos of Jude (and snapshots of Claire). Jude's 3 months old today and already these videos seem 'outdated'. They grow so fast!

Is mommy old?

Claire's making mommy's birthday card (don't worry, mommy already saw it, we celebrated early since we'll be out of town on the 20th). Claire doesn't answer the question, but still cute.

Hey Jude!

Here's Jude! His neck is stronger, his smiles are frequent and the perfect Christmas angel!

Stretching Pooh-style

Setting up the Christmas tree

Claire helps daddy get the Christmas tree up. Christmas has been fun for us so far because Claire is animated and can pick out lights and decorations. She doesn't understand Santa but can find Baby Jesus, so that's all that matters!

Claire does her ABC's

Mimi helps Claire cite her ABC's (this was in October) today Claire is more clear and can pick out letters on signs or in books.

Halloween!

This year Claire was a bumblebee. Her brother stayed home with dad and Uncle Travis to hand out candy while she walked around the hood with Mimi, mommy and Steele and his mommy.
