The Little Gym for a Little Lively Girl

Claire Catherine is checking out the equipment at The Little Gym today at playgroup - we had a fun time "climbing" on the mats and playing ball. She's worn out as you can see from the big YAWN! ;-) The tunnel was her favorite...

Claire chatting to herself !! 11 MONTHS :)

SMILES STRAWBERRIES AND SUN....

We took the afternoon to visit my mom, and take some fun Springtime pictures of my sweet girl at eleven months. While we were snapping pictures she decided to start "chatting" "babbling" and "talking" a little...I love this! I think she's trying to figure out how to call someone on the phone...

This weekend we traveled to Woodville, Texas - to celebrate Jacob's cousin's wedding reception party and family reunion at the home of Susan and Joe Smart...Their place is so beautiful and we had a great time visitng with everyone there!! Pictured here: Susan Smart and Claire, Aunt Frances and Claire, Jacob, Bobby & Claire, Jacob, Aunt Eloise, and Linda Housgesen

I love this dress....and Easter Basket to match :)

The First Year is Drawing Near!

Almost ONE -- This has been such a fun, busy, year for us...we've learned so much from our baby girl...she changes every day and I am so proud of the little lady in our lives! What a joy!! Her face full of happiness and she has so much to share, I can't wait to see each new development in her life - amazing
We're planning for Claire's 1st birthday party....and hope to see you all there -- busy with getting things ready to end the first wonderful year with our baby girl!

The Easter Bunny!

Mom and I took Claire to see the Easter Bunny today...She was able to ask him where all the eggs were hidden and ask him for special goodies in her Easter basket! We are looking forward to this first Easter weekend with our baby girl....headed to an egg hunt, church, to visit family and more! Pictures with the bunny...
