The life of a toddler


Everyday new discoveries, we are constantly amazed at how clever she is! She runs when the phone rings (and cranked called Daddy just today), offers drinks to her stuffed animals, loves to be chased, is working hard at figuring out how to open the gate...we've never laughed so much. xoxo

Claire is One Year Old!















A big weekend for the D family. Its so amazing that Claire is one-that our lives have changed so drastically in one short year, and the most incredible little person influences us every day. For her birthday Grandma and Grandpa Swanson and some wonderful friends were with us. Claire loved having soem more kids around-Audrey and Mason and Beaux were her favorite treats!
Those must be for me!!

She LOVED when everyone sang to her! Big smiles!Who needs presents when there are KIDS here!No worries about Claire not liking her cupcake...Is the candle yummy too?
