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.

Jude's born!

Again, it feels weird to be finally posting this a full 6 weeks after Jude rocked our world! We're so thankful for Jude's health, he was a full 7 lbs and 15oz's. Born on October 25, 2013 after a relatively smooth induction. He was 2 weeks late which I'm sure Nana will remind him of.

Claire's 2!

Yes we know this is late, but shortly after her birthday Claire had croup and we were busy getting ready for Jude. Better late than never!

Claire got a tricycle from mommy and daddy. She knew what to do right away!

Low-key birthday party at a local park. Nana and Uncle Travis came too!

Claire got the doll house from Sophia and Madi! 

She loved checking out the 'whee'

Claire spells her name

How many toddlers do you know can spell their name? Claire is certainly head above the rest (first thing in the morning nonetheless). While you may not be impressed by the video, Claire practices her letters and says them when she sees a keyboard or other alphabets around.

It's Fall! Our Trip to the Apple Orchard

It was a beautiful fall day to visit the apple orchard with our good friends, Lindsay and Eric. We fed the animals, went on a hayride, ate apple cider donuts, and got a bag of apples! It was a great day! Probably our last family outing before Baby Kasper #2 comes :)

Soon-to-be 4!

Yum! Claire's first apple cider donut!

Oh boy, that's a big horse!

September videos

While Mommy and Daddy were busy getting ready for her little brother, Claire continued to develop and grow into her own personality. Here are some videos (sorry for the delay...it's been hectic)!
