Impulse Buy

We have been debating about whether or not to purchase a jogging stroller for quite some time. After Pete & Emily's post last week and the nice weekend weather, we ran out and bought one this afternoon. I had the chance to try it out tonight and it worked great. Claire seemed to enjoy it as well.

Baptism

Claire was baptized this morning. She handled the pouring of water over her head very well and was happy to become an official member of the congregation. Our families were there to help us celebrate this big event. Afterward everyone headed to our place for lunch. Thanks to everyone for being a part of Claire's day!

Friday Fun

A fun photo from this morning. I love the look of excitement in her eyes.


In other news, Claire rolled from her back to her tummy for the first time last night. I caught it on video this morning:

Easter Sunday

We had a wonderful Easter celebration on Sunday. We started the day off by going to church. We were a little nervous about Claire behaving in church, but she did great. She loved the music and spent much of the service flirting with the old man in the pew behind us. After church we headed over to my grandparent's for an afternoon of family and food. All in all, a great day.

The Joy of Daycare

Claire has officially picked up her first cold from daycare. She has been super congested since Monday night and has developed a little cough to go along with it. :( Both Art & I feel terrible because there is not a whole lot we can do for her. If only she could blow her nose, I'm sure she would feel a lot better...I'm guessing that won't be happening anytime soon. Fortunately, she has been a trooper and has been in a pretty good mood. Hopefully, it won't hang on forever and she will be on the road to recovery soon.

In other news, her orange bumbo chair arrived in the mail this afternoon. Here's a picture of Claire trying it out.

Stripes

I have been waiting for Claire to fit into this outfit and now that she finally does I thought it deserved a photo shoot.
