4th of July

Happy 4th! We had a relaxing day bbq'ing with some friends in West Seattle, enjoying some sun and letting the kiddo's splash a bit in a little backyard plastic pool. It was great. Here is Claire in her red, white, and blue!

4 months

Little Miss Claire -

• You are 4 months old and have such a personality already. You giggle and laugh at everything (especially anything your daddy does), and have just started talking and babbling all the time. In addition to your gooo, gahhh, oohhh sounds... you now love to say haaa ahhh in a raspy sounding voice that sounds like a little monster (or we sometimes say our little darth vader). 
• After starting daycare, during your first week in fact, you rolled over.... and since then there was no looking back. You will roll from your back to your tummy 20 times in a row in about 30 minutes, and each time just look up at us like "yeah it's no big deal, I can roll now what of it?". The problem is when you realize you haven't figured out how to roll back onto your back yet and will freak out until we help you.... but then you roll right back on your tummy again, haha. 
• Your third week of daycare you got a little cold, the first time you have been sick, and it just broke my heart. I wished I could be sick for you and make you feel better. You are a little trooper though, and were still all smiles most of the time for the week you weren't feeling good. 
• You seem pretty anxious to try real food, every time we are eating dinner you lunge for our food. I had planned to wait until you were 6 months to try pureed veggies.... but we'll see if we last that long.
• We love you so darn much, and still can't believe you are our little girl. We are the luckiest parents!

Hanging out in bed with us in the morning... you love to sleep with your hands behind your head. =) 

All ready for school!
