Oregon

Claire enjoyed her first big road trip to Oregon with mom and Grandma. While she tolerated all the driving and shopping, she particularly enjoyed her oceanview meals and the continental breakfasts where she received much attention from the other hotel guests.

Six months!

It's hard to believe Claire is already 6 months....she's changed so much recently- she has her first tooth, is starting to roll over and sit on her own (although still falls over after a few seconds), and has recently started eating food- she enjoys her rice cereal and banana, but wasn't too sure about the avocado.

She's all about the feet....

Claire has recently stretched out a bit and has discovered her feet (previously hidden by her belly)....she loves grabbing them, chewing them (particularly when in her leather Robeez), and seems to be a bit obsessed really. She doesn't see much point in sitting yet- it's just another position that makes it easier to fold in half and get those feet!

Claire's new sound

For everyone who thinks Claire is a calm, quiet, peaceful little baby....this is for you. This is how we greet each day, from the moment she wakes up, squealing and screeching and blowing so many raspberries she's frothing at the mouth.

Hanging out

Claire has been a busy girl visiting with Adam and Ally before they leave for Jasper. We recently hit the petting zoo along with Adam's girlfriend Tessa and her sis Daphne.

Claire's teething and isn't content to sit by herself so we tried out her backpack (thanks to the Walter's) so mom could make a pot of soup. No, I don't usually sport a toque at home but Claire thinks pulling hair is great fun these days!
