Cake

Here is Clare's cake for today. As Clare would say, "mmmmmm."

At Church

Not much longer to go...

Ready for Baptism

Clare is dressed and heading out the door for her Baptism.

Summer Day in Wildwood, NJ

Clare is outside enjoying a pleasant day in Wildwood, NJ. Temperature
is in the upper 70s with a nice easterly breeze. Lots of family around
to entertain as well.

Clare is Learning to Climb

This morning she put a couple of her toys together and is trying to find
a way out of her play area. Amazing!

Happy Fourth

Here is Clare and Karen at a park near Lighthouse Point waving our
flag.

18.5 Sqaure Feet

Here is Clare in her new Superyard XT. In the past week she has been
crawling around instead or rolling around. This means she is starting
to explore (getting into things and corners). To help keep her safe we
found this nice play area for her. This way she can explore and will
not get tangled into cords and other things.

Clare Loves Pizza

Clare turned seven months on the 9th. She is now starting to pull
herself across the floor, not quite crawling. She is also starting to
eat some real food. Here she is with pizza crust, yum!

Balloon Time

Clare finally got her Mickey balloon!

Small World Next

After riding Dumbo the Buzz Lightyear Clare is now ready to ride her
first attraction awake, It's A Small World. Can not see how she will
not love this.

In line for Dumbo

We are in line for Dumbo now. We strated the morning at Crystal Palace
for breakfast where Clare met Pooh and his friends. The rest of us
stuffed our bellies. We will have more to share soon.

By the pool before sunset

A busy day for Clare. Traveled to Disney World, went to EPCOT, and now
just got out of the pool. Not much longer before the final bottle and
then bedtime.

Tomorrow morning breakfast with Pooh and friends and who knows what
else.

Where to go in EPCOT

Clare is in EPCOT checking out what to do next. Right now she is taking
a break in Mexico.

Happy Six Months!

It was only six months ago Clare was born.

Clare is in Pennsylvania

Here is a quick picture of Clare before she left on Thursday. Her and
Mom are doing very well visiting family.

I miss and love you both!

Sleeping In

Clare was so tired yesterday. We had a very busy day which caused her
to fall asleep last night at about 10pm and she is still sleeping now,
7:39am.

Tooth Picture

You can see the white line on her gum directly above my finger.

First Tooth has Broken Through

Just minutes ago I noticed for the first time that Clare's first tooth
is now clearly visible. It is a lower one. I will try to get a picture
up as soon as she will let me.

Happy Earth Day

Clare caught a starfish this morning on the beach. Yes, the starfish
was returned to the ocean.

Happy Earth Day, remember to give back to our planet today.

Loves the Pool

Clare is in and she loves it! She has figured out that she can kick her
legs, lots of smiles coming from her.

Awake now

We knew it would not be long. Soon into the pool :)

Ready for the Pool

Bathing suit is on, sun is out with clear blue skies. And wouldn't you
know it, the baby that never takes more than a 10 minute nap
is...napping.

Asleep at the Table in St. Augustine

After about 5 hours in the van here is Clare falling asleep while
feeding. Of course she sprung back after the picture.

Hoppy Easter

A couple of pictures from today. Clare with her bunny ears on, and visiting Daddy at work where the Bunny himself was putting in an appearance. She had a busy day!! 

5 Months!

And growing and doing new stuff everyday. Here you can see Baby Clare
turn on her crib music box with her foot.

Also in the past week she has been reguarly turning from her back to her
stomach, though she has yet to master rolling over the other way back.
Actually she gets a little upset.

Easter Pictures

Taking Easter pictures today.

Pool Weather

Here in Pompano it is 80 warm degrees. Clare and Karen decided to spend
some time near the pool. A few more warm days and they should be able
to take a swim.

Peek-a-Boo

Fun you can have with a burp cloth.

Ears Pierced

Karen could not resist, while we were at the doctor's office decided to
get Clare's ears pierced. So cute!

New numbers

She is now 26.25 inches long and 14 pounds. Four shots to come in a few
minutes :(

So much for spoon feeding...

Of course she made a mess when we spoon fed her. But here she is with
the cereal in a bottle holding it herself, and she seems to be enjoying
it.

Cereal

Clare is trying cereal for the first time this evening. We will see how
well she takes it. The first few bites have been good, maybe a little
messy but no big deal.

Clare did very well on the plane again today. Slept the whole way back
after we took off. She is going to love traveling.

On board meal

On last bottle before take off. We are due in to FLL at 2:03pm. Looks
like we will be on-time, though we do have a full flight.

Sunglasses

I do think pink is her colour!

On the way to Philly

Clare is going to Pennsylvania again. Here is mom and Clare strapped in
an ready to go. Clare is hoping to see some snow...hopefully the winter
weather will still be in progress when we land.

Highchair picture

Highchair

Here is Clare in her high chair. Yes, she looks too small in it. With
no doubt she will grow into very quickly.

Happy Valentine's Day

It is Clare's first!

Bumbo

Here is Clare in her new Bumbo. This allows her to learn how to sit
up. It is really neat!

Clare in New Jersey

Clare is now in NJ, her third state she has been in. Right now we are
stopped at a Wawa heading to Wildwood, NJ.

It's Cold

Ok, it is not that bad with a current temp of 33 and very breezy. This
is how a baby stays warm, a baby car seat cover. You can zip up a baby
completely or leave the head exposed, like Clare here.

Ready for Take Off

Here is Clare ready for her first flight. We are heading to Philly this
morning. Everyone is wide awake, even though it is 5:50am. We will let
you know when we land.

New Stats

Clare is now 25.5 inches and 11 pounds, 13 oz. She hated the shots :(
She is sleeping now, but the look she gave me when the last shot was
injected was sooo sad.

At the Doctor's Office

Clare is at her doctor's office for her two-month check-up. That means
she will not get just one shot, but FOUR!

I know this is harder on Karen than Clare, we will see who cries first.

Nice Hair

This is Clare's typical hair. 

Too much excitement

Also from Christmas morning, she wore herself out. 

Belated Christmas Pic

Here is Clare on Christmas morning. Yes we were having fun trying to stuff her inside a stocking for the "perfect" picture, but we had to settle for this one.
