Roller Baby

Well....this morning while playing on her play mat as I was getting dressed, someone took a break from her "pull ups" that she does by hanging onto all the toys, to roll over and see what was on the bottom of the play mat. So when I turned around and she was on her stomach, I was not only surprised but ran to get the camera to try and capture it. She stayed for all of two seconds, enough to pose for a picture and then back over onto her back she went. I think I scared her to death, because I was praising her and laughing while she looked at me like you idiot, it's no big deal! So she is now rolling from back to front and front to back.....watch out world!

Birth announcement

My friend Lindsay (who took Claire's pictures) redid the website for her business and used this as a sample birth announcement...it was too cute, so of course I had to get some and wanted to share it as well. She just does such a great job and I have to say her "subject" was adorable :)

Yummy!

So this is by far the best part of the day....it's amazing, fun and messy! Claire loves to eat her cereal while doing her new mouth sounds so that it goes EVERYWHERE and laughs the whole entire time! She is fascinated by the spoon and likes to "do it herself!"

Congrats Aunt Betsy

Diamonds really are a Girls Best Friend!!

Labor Day Weekend

What a fun weekend we had....we went to Roanoke to spend the holiday weekend. Claire was very busy visiting with grandparents, aunts and uncles, going to her first wine festival, helping mommy & daddy celebrate their anniversary, and eating her rice cereal for the first time which was promptly followed by a bath in the sink! Here are a few memorable pictures from the weekend.
