Have we reached toddlerhood????

Here are a few shots of our lil cupcake taken by Grandma Barbara while walking around Auntie Beth's house. Does this mean we officially have a toddler? Probably not, because she still does crawl a whole lot but we are definitely on our way to toddlerhood.
Oh by the way...she will be 1 in 14 days!!!!






Notice the concentration tongue :-)

Sharing a lazy Sunday

Today, the family had a very lazy day. Mommy and Claire didn't even get out of their jammies! Here are a few pictures from our awesomely homey Sunday.

Meet our "angry baby"
A few weeks ago when Claire was getting frustrated with her puree diet
(before chicken nuggets and ravioli)
She would tense her whole body in frustration. We found it so funny that we would laugh every time she did it, now she does it for the reaction.

Who knew that baby wipes actually taste good too?

"I wanna sit in my chair"

"I did it!"

"HaHa! I ROCK!"

"I really came to see you Mr. Cow!"

"Okay, I'm done now."

Happy Birthday Devin

The family spent Valentines Day the best way possible, helping our friends' the Defreece family celebrate Devin's first birthday! Claire had a BLAST, laughing and playing with the boys. She even took 4 independent steps to get a toy. I guess watching the "older" boys toddle around gave her some incentive!! Mommy took over 100 hundred pictures, so you can imagine how hard it was to narrow the bunch down. Here are some of our favorite shots from the day. There will be more to come when Aunt May sends her pictures to us as well.

Devin, the birthday boy!

Isabella and Claire playing with the party balloons

Claire and Colton meeting for the first time


"I'll be right back Mommy, just wanna see what the big kids are doing upstairs....."

"Mmmmm, tasty."

"Ok Devin, you smile and distract them and I will make a break for it."

Their first dance!!
Claire and Colton

"Hi there Colton....whatcha looking at?"

Aren't they as cute as a button?

What a beautiful cake!!!!

Devin was much more interested in playing than eating.
Who wouldn't be?

Claire's first bites of cake

I swear to you, this picture was taken five minutes into the trip home.
Claire was much too busy for a nap during the day. She slept all the way home(1.5 hrs), ate some dinner and thankfully slept from 7:45 until 5 this morning.
