No more bouncer

When I shower, or need to get anything done, I usually just stick Claire in her bouncer. Well, the other day from the shower I hear a thud and then some screaming. I rush out only to find Claire on the floor...she's fine, dont worry, but now she has to be in her crib when I am in the shower so that she doesnt get hurt.

Big Girl, Big Bed

One of Claire's new favorite things is to be "made into the bed" I just lay her on the bed while I am making it and put the covers over her. She puts her hands and feet in the air to keep them off of her and just lies very still. I run around like a goof saying "Where's Claire, Claire where did you go?" She kicks her feet and throws her hands around and when I uncover her and say "There you are" she laughs. She loves it!

More to Come

Sorry guys - I will do a little at a time. I dont want people to get Crowther overload :)

Lake Havasu!

We went on our first trip to Lake Havasu with Claire. Turns out she LOVES the water. We had a blast at the water park and a day on the boat Uncle Kyle and Baby Claire - she loves him. And I think he might kinda like her too

Mom and Claire - the bow babes :)

This was after a fit in the car seat. She is clinging every toy she has for dear life but finally sleeping :)

Swimming in the lake. Like her life jacket haha - she hated it

Life jacket at the water park - it accents her cheeks

Claire Update

Sorry for the lack of blogging. I dont even know what my delay has been. Here is a general update on the babe! She is now almost 6 months old. She can sit on her own. She loves rice cereal as long as its mixed with applejuice. She doesnt like carrots but we make her eat them. She hasnt really tried anything else yet. She sleeps less and less in the day and more and more at night. We love her more and more everyday and cant believe how fast time goes. This is her sleeping in her swing...not too sure what she is doing with her arms but she looked cute.

Sleeping on her mom, a rarety these days so I take advantage of it when it does happen

First time eating rice cereal. She has gotten really good at opening her mouth for more!

Just cute

Grabbing her feet

Happy Birthday to Me!

I have been wanting an SLR camera FOREVER! On my 23rd birthday (Monday) I got one!!! My darling husband has been hiding money under our bed all summer and he and my parents surprised me with my dream come true. Now all I need is a photography class. Anyone have any good ideas? I want to be a good photo taker!

Happy Birthday to Brice

Brice's birthday was on September 2. He turned the big 2-5! I cant believe my husband is a quarter of a century old. My parents, his parents and Claire and I all went together and got him this gun. He has been wanting a pistol for a long time and he has worked so hard the past few years that I thought that he deserved it. His face when he opened it was the best thing I have ever seen. I cant wait to spend the next 75 birthdays with him!
