Claires first Christmas

I would have to say Claires first Christmas was a success. She didn't really open presents (mostly like just ripped bows off) But she got lots of fun new toys that she is enjoying. We spent CHristmas ewe with Adams family and Christmas day with my family. I was so tired by the end of Christmas. Claire was not in the mood to be set down. she wanted to be hled non stop which made it hard to get ready for our trip to seattle on Christmas. Now I'm startingto wonder if her ear is bothering her, I have noticed her pulling at it a few times. I guess I will just need to keep an eye on her. tis the season for colds!

It's Christmas Time

Last year at this time...I was 7 months pregnant,we were decorating claires room, and getting everything ready for baby! This year I have been so excited to show Claire how much fun Christmas is. She loves our christmas tree and is a big fan of lights. I have had to hold back on decorating the house because not everything is baby friendly. Her latest discovery is bells. I have some jingle bells hanging on a few door knobs and she loves playing with them. I think claire has caught the Christmas bug!

Cookie making!

Cooking making this year turned into a marathon! Too many cookies not enough time or skill. Haha I included a picture of what we wanted our cookies to look like and what they ended up looking like. You guessed it "cookie fail" I guess we are just not very good decorators. Claire had fun crawling around with all the ladies in her christmas outfit. This last month has been a big one for claire. she started crawling everywere and pulling herself up on EVERYTHING! The highchair, her crib, her walker, the cat. she is also mastering waving hello and good bye. she is so close to saying hi! she waves and says HA. She has even taken a few steps according to grandpa. I missed it of course. I'm so excitied to show her all the fun stuff about Christmas. I put lights up on the house and she loves looking at them. I love everything about christmas and I'm hoping my little claire bear will be the same way.
