Vacation Time


Claire headed up north with mom & dad last weekend for a mini-vacation with mom's side of the family. Claire seemed to have a really good time watching her older cousins as they bounced around the house and started to pay attention to baby Hazel. By the end of the weekend, when Hazel would cry, Claire would look around for the baby. 

Claire tried some new things like standing in the water of Gooseberry Falls and swimming (with mom). She had lots of grandma and grandpa time too. Claire checking out the water of Gooseberry Falls


And her first time in a 'big person' swimming pool with mom

Lately she has taken to bringing you books and 'backing up' to sit on your lap. 
She also likes to:
- spin until she is dizzy
- feed herself (after the fork/spoon is loaded for her)
- give kisses to babies in books
- jabber away in her own language telling us stories
- get in the way of her older cousins!
