TRICK OR TREAT

Here's more of our little pumpkin!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Daddy better watch out...looks like we have a future Reese's fan on our hands! More photos of our little PUMPKIN to come later!

YUMMY!!

Here's Claire having some pasta the other night. As you can tell by her messy face, she LOVED it! She is still a pretty good eater, but will definitely let you know if she isn't interested in eating something. She basically pushes everything she doesn't like off her tray and onto the floor...it's really quite charming. :) She is also certain to let you know if she wants more of anything. She starts reaching forward and says "mo, mo, mo". It's pretty cute and amazing to watch her first signs of real verbal communication.

Pajama Time!

Pete, Emily, and Whitney came over for dinner on Saturday night. Claire was loving Whitney...she kept trying to touch her (we are still working on gentle) and was giving her lots of smiles. It also turns out that the girls have matching PJs - it was the perfect photo op!

Fall Frolic

We took advantage of the beautiful weather this weekend, and spent a large portion of time outdoors. We went on several walks, took a couple trips to the park, and cheered the Johnnies on at the Tommie/Johnnie football game. Claire LOVES being outside!

Here's a few photos from Friday afternoon. As you can see, Claire is sporting yet another adorable hat. Too bad she thinks its funny to keep taking it off...it is going to be a long winter if she doesn't start keeping it on!

In other news, we spotted the tip of Claire's FIRST TOOTH on Saturday afternoon!

A Wild Adventure

Last Friday, Claire and I met my friend Marie and her son Wesley for lunch. Afterward, we ventured over to Wild Rumpus. What a quaint and unique bookstore...it was perfect for our little ones. There were cats and chickens roaming throughout the store, as well as birds, rabbits, and reptiles in cages for the little ones to view. Wesley chased the cats, while Claire chased the chickens...it was hilarious to watch! If you haven't checked it out, it is definitely worth a trip!

Look Who's Walking

Here's a video of Claire walking from this morning. It is amazing how her confidence continues to grow each day. She is still working on her balance, but she is definitely making progress. Enjoy!
