Meeting Great Grandma's Puppy

My parents had Claire on Saturday as i was working. They took her out and ran some errands (she is a good little shopper). They then took her to MY grandma's house to meet her new puppy Sadie. Claire seemed to like her, but Sadie was a little unsure of Claire. When Claire get's excited, she waves her arms up and down and makes little noises, her own version of clapping and cheering. She also let Great Grandma hold her, which is a rarity as she is not always cooperative.

St. Patricks Day

Claire and I went to her friend Taylor's little St. Patty's Day party that night. It was a lot of fun. The host, Tay and her mom Andrea, had cooked a fabulous meal and decorated the house so cute. All the August babies were there, but we weren't able to get a picture of all of them together (bed times and meltdowns!). Claire looked pretty cute in her Irish getup!

Our little ham!

She is a funny little thing. Always smiles! Grandma has invented the 'Advanced Claire Containment System' (aka laundry basket). It really does come in handy, she can't fall over and all her toys are right there!!

Sitting up on our own!

Such a big girl already! She really enjoys sitting up on her own, reaching for her toys. She can spend quite some time playing that way (which allows me to get a shower in!). It is amazing how quickly she is changing developmentally. It really does go to fast, but honestly, each stage is more and more fun! She is such a delight. So full of love, sweetness and spunk. She is so smiley from the moment she wakes up to last moments of the night before feeding. We are so in love!

Just Bums!

Claire gets to spend a lot of quality time with Grandma's doggie, Ollie. He likes to share his toys with her, bringing her a bone or one of his squeakies. She thinks he is pretty great, although we do frown upon her eating his toys! He has also discovered a prime location: under the high chair while she is eating. He is like a little piggie getting anything he can!
