Claire's New Skills

Claire is getting busier and busier. She learned 2 skills today. She is able to push buttons to make her noisy toys work. She can also use a straw. That one we discovered by accident. She also got her first taste of Diet Coke, also an accident.

Little Swimmer

Claire took a short little swim today. As you can see, she sits up on her own (with Mommy sitting real close). Don't look to closely at the water, Claire may have given new meaning to the phrase, "Don't go swimming after eating."

Claire has a fan club at the Coffee Cottage. Every time she shows up, the girls behind the counter come out and talk to her. We are officially no longer individual people. We are Claire's mom and dad. "Here comes Claire, and those other two." :-) Click the picture.

More Claire

Isn't she sweet. She sleeps in her own room now but will sometimes take a little snooze in Mommy and Daddy's bed. Note all the hair that she is getting. She is sitting up on her own, for a short time at least.

Some New Pictures

Click the picture for the latest batch. There is a video of Claire having some Lemonade that might take a while to download. Enjoy.

Steam Up

Here are some cute pictures from, mostly from the Brooks Steam Up. We could not resist the John Deere hat. There is also a picture of an old man driving an old tractor. We could not figure out which was older, the man or the tractor. Claire loved the event because there was so much noise and things to see. We also used our new stroller that came courtesy of Claire's great aunt Mary's generous contribution. Click for more pictures.

Happy Birthday Grandma Beth

Love Claire.

Claire Swimming Video

Here is Claire at the baby pool in John Day. Her diaper got huge but she had lots of fun.

John Day

The last batch of pictures from our trip to Eastern Oregon. Lots of great pictures from the swim meet. This picture really catches Claire in a typical pose. Click the picture for more.
