This video is a bit long but it has everything.....grunting like an 80 year old woman, picking up air, signing "more" as she entered the kitchen(she wanted more animal crackers) and standing on her own.

Super Saturday!

Claire had such a SUPER Saturday! She started off by standing on her own, was able to express her artistic talents, ate dinner at the "big person" table, and was frightened to tears all in the same day! Here are some pictures from today's events.

Brian and I got Claire Crayola Beginnings for her birthday, today she got a chance to try them.

She really seemed to enjoy her scribbles!

An artist in the making ;-)

We are also trying to downsize the Claireifanalia-so we decided to purchase a booster chair.

She really seemed to enjoy eating at the table with Mommy and Daddy.

And to end the day.. We thought that Claire would LOVE to have a bubble bath.

We even brought the camera in to capture the fun...

It appears as though our daughter is extremely afraid of not being able to see her legs while

while she is in the bathtub. She literally sobbed as she tried to climb out of the tub.

We had to drain the tub, wash away the bubbles and start over.

I assure you, the second time, she had much more fun!

***Important Anouncement***

CLAIRE STOOD UP BY HERSELF!!! No crawling to a couch, chair or table to help her. She started in her downward dog Yoga pose, bent her knees and pushed off the floor! She has done it twice already this morning!

WooHooo, Way to go Claire!
