SNOW Fun!

Claira played in the snow today for the first time :) She enjoyed the first 10 minutes then became bored and tolerated us for the rest of our time outside. It was fun to share the snow with her and try out her sled!

Today was lovely; we went out to lunch and then to Lowe's to get ideas for redecorating the new house. Each day Steve has 'music time' with Claira. He plays his chanter and/or the piano with her. Here are a few photos of their special time together.

Valentines Day!

Claira loves it when Steve plays the Piano for her. She fusses when he stops....Don't stop daddy!

Claira got new handmade blocks for Valentine's Day! At first she prefered the wrapping paper to her toys but after a few minutes of crinkling and chewing she played with them too!

Trying rice cereal

Claira tried rice ceral for the first time today. She swallowed about half of what we gave her and spit the rest out. It was rather funny and entertaining! We'll try again in a few days!

Sitting in her bumbo; it's such a great baby item! She loves it!

My friend Sarah came to visit this afternoon with her very sweet little girl Ariella. The girls were cute together! Claira is about 2 months older. Two lovely ladies!

Some pictures of our week-end in the 'county' with my parents.

What a little chunker!

This morning we went to our friends Angie & Lily's to decorate Valentines' Day cookies...well...I decorated one and ate it. Claira just watched and enjoyed the children. There were other moms and kids there too. Later, we enjoyed the warmer air (a whopping 42 degrees!) by taking a little walk with the dog.

Just hanging out with mom! Finding ways to fill the days until it warms up and we can spend more time outside in the sun :)

She's such a happy little lady! We had fun this morning taking pictures, laughing, and sharing stories :) I think she likes entertaining us!

What!!? Claira's swing broke last night. She's been sleeping in it for weeks. We knew that we would have to make the transition from swing to crib eventually. Wish us luck as we attempt the crib tonight :) I'm sure she'll do just fine.

Enjoying a much needed bath after a rather impressive diaper blow-out! :)
