It finally cooled off to the mid 80's, which was a great opportunity for Claire to run around outside. We went to Maymont to see the animals. She had a great time! The scratch on her head was from a fall she had the other day. It was pretty scary, but she is doing great and healing well :)

You can kinda see it here, but her hair is growing! Its hard to tell because she is a blonde. She actually needs it to be brushed now and then :)

A ball is her new favorite toy

4th of July round 2

Its fun to think that this is Claire's first holiday to celebrate for the second time :) She has changed so much from the first two pics of her first 4th!

You can see her hair coming in more:) I think she will be a blonde!

Belated Birthday Visit

Claire was such a ham! She was dancing for the camera here

Claire was running laps around the restaurant. All the workers there thought she was the cutest thing ever :)

The Beach

we had such a great day at the beach! We ate crab at a fun restaurant, and played in the sand and water.

I think she was thinking wait a min, I should be making this diaper wet!

Claires First Birthday!

Its hard to believe that a year has gone by since Claire was born. It seems like yesterday when I went into labor at a gauge sale on Sat morning and had her on Sun at 2:35 am. A year later, she enjoyed a great breakfast, opened some gifts from her Dad and friends, went to my work for some Birthday wishes, then more gifts from Grandma, and then ate some Claire Bear cake. She had a great day and loved playing with all of her new toys! Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes and gifts! Hope you enjoy the pictures below. She is also walking, and running in her new birthday shoes, eating most solid foods, and blowing me away with how fast her brain is developing! She is one very smart and sweet lady! Happy Birthday Claire!
