Christmas Wrap Up

Trying to play with the walker. Hazel fits in it much better :)

Yea! It's the ABC song!!

The holidays are over and we're settling back into our rhythm. Claire was a trooper, despite being seriously short on naps. Mom was probably a bigger baby than Claire. 

She enjoyed seeing much of her family over the three day Christmas adventure. We started out at the Whitcomb's on Christmas Eve day. Claire got outside for a bit but it was quite cold so she stayed inside the house and received several kisses from Zoe dog and enjoyed checking out Grandma Jackie's toys upstairs. She was very happy to see fridge magnets as one of her gifts. Claire can often be found in front of Grandma Jackie and Papa's fridge playing with the letters. 

Due to the excitement of the previous day and a short nap in the car, Claire didn't last too long at Great Grandma Shirley's house the next day. She had a fun time playing with Garrett and checking out Ron's train set. She promptly fell asleep once we got into the car on the way to G&G Pichner's. 

Friday brought her cousins and big sister to Faribault for another day of celebration. She was delighted to have a whole new host of toys to play with and was excited to receive more fridge magnets (the leapfrog kind) so know she can make super long words. 

She has started to show more interest in learning about potty training so we've been reading potty books on a regular basis and mom bought a potty at Target today, which will be slowly introduced into her pattern.
