Claire went with us to big church this morning. She was amazing! I was so nervous that she was going to scream during the prayer and I was going to have to walk her out, but she was great the entire time. She loved the music and then slept during the sermon. She did wake up in time for us to walk to the front and join the church which was very special for us as a family.

Claire was so happy when we got home that we couldn't pass up on the opportunity to take some fun pictures.

These pictures really capture Claire's personality. She is a very happy little girl. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful baby.

It is so hard to believe that Claire is 5 months old. She is growing up so fast!

Here is a list of her 5 favorite things:

1. her exersaucer

2. her hands

3. anything that can go in her mouth

4. carrots and green beans

5. playhouse disney

Happy Birthday Manze!

Claire got all dressed up to celebrate her sweet friend's birthday!
The Place Play is one of the neatest places to have a birthday party. Claire found her favorite toy and had a blast!
She loved to watch all the kids play and even made some new friends.

Manze - the sweet birthday girl!
I have loved this little girl ever since she was born and we had so much fun celebrating her 2nd birthday!

I cannot believe she is TWO!

Winter Wonderland

That's right...
What you see is snow. It snowed for a couple of hours this morning, and it came down pretty good. Of course, it all melted after about 30 minutes.

Claire had her 4 month check up and shots today. We love her new doctor!
We had some fun while we waited on the nurse to come in with the shots.

We also started some solid foods tonight.

Claire LOVED it! She was so happy and thought it was good!

She is now...
13 lbs 15 ounces - 50th percentile
24.75 inches - 75th percentile

Congratulations

Our sweet friends Martha and Erik got engaged New Years! We are so very excited for you both!!
