The weekend news

The big news this weekend at our house was Dad got a day off of work! but only 1 and doesn't get another day off for 7 days. Claire loved spending time with both mom and dad. Claire continues to get into everything even though she's not crwling but she manages to scoot and roll to get places. Claire and I got to go to lunch with all the ladies in the family this weekend and they were setting up all the pretty trees for Christmas! One of the biggest changes coming is Katy will be moving out this week. Sad to see her go but so excitied for her and her new job as a medic!

Panic attack

Panic attack number 1 was when adam called me yesterday and told me his work schedule changed for the next 2 months and now he has to work on christmas. WHAT! He is now going to be working a LOT more. Damn it! The first thing that comes to mind is babysitting. crap we need to find grandpa some help babysitting and fast! insert panic attack number 2. Oh crap I just agreed to cook Christmas dinner for my whole family! I have never had Christmas at my house before and now I get to attempt it while Adams not even home! perfect... excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall. Thank you Adams work for not even considering their employees lives! My stress level has just hit overdrive!

my little bugger!

This little one gets more and more mobile everyday! She is pretty good moving around in her walker and she loves pulling down the dish towels in the kitchen. Yesterday I was folding clothes and she started pulling all the piles on to the floor. It was pretty cute! She found it so funny. Grandma called and said they were almost out of diapers at their house, so I got together a bag of diapers. I went to make claire a bottle and when I got back she had taken all the diapers out of the bag. She thought it was fun to put the diapers on her head. :)

carving pumpkins

We got to carve pumpkins this weekend. Claire also got to meet her cousin Johnathan who is 3 months old. They were so cute together! Them both squealed with joy. I think these two will have fun growing up together.

Toys!

Im trying to decide what toys to get claire for Christmas. I was at Costco yesterday and she showed some intrest in some. There was a train with animals on it that played songs that she seemed to like. what ever she doesnt get I guess I could get for her birthday in February. I don't want to go over board at CHristmas but I am going to have to really have some self controll! Grandpa on the other hand has given her every christmas present they have bought for her! Haha, he just can't resist. Here is a picture of grandpa showing her, her new cell phone. (which was a christmas present!)

7 months old

This month has been a fun one. Claire is now eatting solids better and waking up only once a night! She is able to play and entertain herself for longer periods of time so I can get more done. She also has learned to clap! Its the cutest thing I have ever seen :) SHe gets excited and starts clapping. I know this falls under the mom thinks everything her baby does is the most amazing thing ever category, but I don't care its still the cutest thing to me. She was clapping her hands while sitting in her toy box but its hard to capture with a picture and the second I turned on the video camera she stopped. of course!

Fall Weekend

This weekend we went to the festival of farms. It was fun visiting farms, getting lost in corn mazes and drinking hot cider. I got to dress claire in her Halloween closes! Her spider web pants could be the cutest thing I have ever seen! Katy came with me and is always such a big help. She knows the drill and always knows exactly what to do to make claire a happy girl! Claire loves her auntie katy.
