More Pictures!

Howdy folks, as promised, another pictures update from various times in the past month. No time for text update as I must be leaving for work very shortly, but enjoy the pictures for now!

My new favorite picture of Claire, although it's tough to say that definitively

I managed to get a great picture of Claire and Adam when we were over at Friedo's last week - the Vikings/Packers rivalry is already in full swing! (Vikings onesie was a gift courtesy of Friedo and Robin)

Auntie Robin playing with Claire...I know Robin is greatly inconvenienced by spending time with Claire :)

For those who remember, here is a 4-month update of Auntie Erika's work picture

Claire loves her bathtime

Claire seems to think my hair is for eating when she's on dad's shoulders

She's discovered her feet. I like to think of this as her exercising pose, stretching her little legs.

Tanya captured this little sly look on Claire's face

Claire's doing so well with sitting up against things, soon it'll be on her own!

Here's just another one of Claire on my lap during the day

With her bear blanket on the floor. She likes to play peek-a-boo with it.

Pictures and update for all!

Hello again. Once more, it's been quite a while. No excuses, just a busy, busy time for us. Not a lot of downtime overall, but when we've been able to, we've tried to shove some R&R in there. I managed to golf a couple rounds with Friedo, Robin, and Glen. While I'm not terrible, I could definitely stand to improve, so maybe that'll be a good project next spring and summer.

Lots of other news going on, but right now we'll give you a couple days of pictures and then update on other things later. So, without further ado...


Claire's first horse ride ever - Cheri's horse, Kota

Claire was really happy to spend some time with Great Grandma Phyllis in Worthington

Glen, Cathy, and Granny gave Claire an amazingly cute horse dress that she's just getting big enough to wear! Still a tad big, but looks great nonetheless.

Claire likes to look around when she should be burping. Silly baby.

This was taken the day she first rolled over (we have video, just have to get it edited and uploaded!)

A closeup of Claire, just to say Hello!

Claire has moved on to her bigger bottles now, but she was holding the small ones up on her own earlier.

As promised (a long time ago) here are a few pictures of the finished baby room.

A colossal Thank You! goes out to Jamie for sketching and painting the baby's room for us, it's so awesome!

The yellow and orange camel in the bottom corner is the first stuffed animal Claire ever got as a gift, from Auntie Erika!
