Happenings

So Claire is still ridiculously adorable. She is so much fun. She loves to squeal and put anything in her mouth...including her toes. She has rolled over (both directions) a few times but I don't think she realizes she is the one controlling it because she doesn't roll over all the time. She does, however, like to scoot around on her back. She will smile at anyone who talks happy to her and giggle if she is tossed in the air. She is ticklish and it is hilarious to hear her laugh. I'd have to say she is the best toy ever!

School starts at the end of this month and I think it will be harder after the summer than it was after my maternity leave. Luckily, Claire is happy with other people watching her (however she could act like she missed me a little). I'm also wondering what kind of disarray my house will be in once I go back to work.

Nathan is staying busy at work but we love when he comes home and can play (he likes it too). It is so cute to see Claire smile and light up when she sees him. He is such a good dad and I have to share this cute dad moment. Sunday at church the little boy behind us looks at Claire and says, "Mom, she's a princess!" I turn around and say, "She totally is!" The cute part was what Nathan said a bit later, "We need to keep track of the boy that called Claire a princess." I giggled inside.

Well, here are some cute pictures of Claire (click to enlarge).

First, this seems like just a cute innocent picture.

But this is where I found her when I peeked around to check on her while I was cooking dinner a few nights ago.

This is what happens when dad is left to fix the headband. :)

And here is what happens when dad goes shopping for Claire. These are her jammies, but we had the headband so while she's awake I have her wear it so she looks like a girl. :) Also, you can see in these pictures how much she loves her dad.
