There were so many beautiful pictures of Claire I could have posted 50-she is really enjoying exlporing the backyard! She is starting to mimic more and more and makes many animal sounds-stll her favorite is elephant! She is charming her day care teacher (big surprize) and coming up with new "ideas" all the time-we are starting to see a lot more imaginative play. She "feeds" her stuffed animals, offers them pacifiers and pats them on the back..;o)

block party!

So at the block party she told everyone she was going to be a fireman...o)

going for a bike ride-she had to get used to the helmet but the ride is worth it

swimming! Loves the water still

helping daddy vaccuum

July-17 months old!

Claire started day care this month-she's not overly sure about it, the ams shes been sad but by afternoon she perks up and enjoys all the activities! Its hard on mom and dad too! But home is still the same silliness-everything is adventure and play!
