New Pictures of Claire

Hello everyone. Here are some new pictures of Claire. Some of the new pictures are of Claire in her new glasses. Claire had to get glasses recently to fix an issue she was having with going cross-eyed. We went to a specialist and they suggested glasses. Her eyes are healthy but her eye muscles are just not strengthening properly. The glasses will help her strengthen her muscles and the doctor said she may not need glasses by the time she is 12. Other than that she is doing great and growing quick. Stay tuned for more videos and pictures soon.

Snow Pictures

Here are some snow pictures. We had about 3 or 4 inches on Feb 12th and 13th. The next Saturday it was 60 degrees. We had another 2 inches today and it will be 60 again Saturday. Ah yes, you have to love the weather in the south.

A Few New Pictures

Life is a little busy here so not much time to post anymore. Claire is doing fantastic. She has learned to clap and wave bye. She dances and loves rolling around and hanging upside down. I cannot wait until spring so she can enjoy being outside. Hope to have more time to post soon.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone. Our family had a great Christmas. It was very special sharing so much time with Claire and all of our family members. Below are some pictures from Christmas and New Years. This year will be full of fun since we are counting down the days until Claire turns two. Be sure to keep following along with us.

Claire's First Birthday Pics

Well it has taken me a while to get these birthday pictures up because of the Christmas holiday. Having her birthday so close to Christmas will take some getting used to. Hard to believe our little Claire is one. She had a really good birthday. She did not like to get to messy with the cake and she did not like the sweetness of the frosting to much. She got quite a few gifts! We thank all of our family and friends for celebrating Claire's birthday with us. Deb and Dad a special thanks goes to both of you. We could not have done it with out you. Love you!

Claire Updates and Our Thanksgiving Trip

Wow! Where does the time go? Almost a year ago we were preparing for Claire to be born. Now she is just an absolute joy to be with! What a great little girl. Every week we see more and more of her personality come out. Claire will be one on the 9th. She is walking around everywhere! If she falls down she does not crawl, she finds herself something to put her hand on in order to stand up and walk. She follows us and chases us everywhere. She loves when you hold her hand and walk with her. It is so awesome. While we were on vacation she played peek-a-boo all the time. She absolute loves it. If you play with her she gets the biggest smile on her face. She also has become very shy while on vacation. Every time someone would say hello she would put her head down on you and just stare at them. It is so cute. She now has 6 teeth on top and 2 bottom teeth. She loves her little finger foods. Gerber makes these puff and pinwheel things that are like little cereal pieces. She eats them and LOVES them.

For Thanksgiving we traveled to Massachusetts for vacation. We stayed with Auntie Amy and Uncle Jeff. We had so much fun. Claire was awesome on the flights. We even endured a three hour delay with no problems. She had so much fun that I think she was sad to come home. Here are some pictures from our trip.
