Claire Goes to San Diego

To save Mommy's sanity - and to show Claire there is a world outside of our house and the doctor's office - we traveled to San Diego to spend some time on the beach, enjoy the sunshine, and hang out with Bma and Grandpa.  We were blessed with gorgeous weather and high temperatures, Mommy even got in a little shopping with Bma (all I can say thank goodness there isn't a Baby Gap in Jackson or we would be bankrupt).  Claire seemed determined to make the most of her time there, staying up late and refusing to nap during the day.

Happy Girl


The view from our bedroom window.  Pretty hard to beat!

 "Hello Grandpa."

Claire and Grandpa during one of their morning chats.  

Claire taking a bath in the big person tub.  It was all a little overwhelming!


 I'm vogue-ing.



I love this series of pictures.  
Claire was at her happiest laying on her green blanket by the window and talking to someone.

Cute T-shirt.

All dressed up for date night.  
After a yummy dinner in town we had drinks and watched the sunset at "The Del."


Claire and Daddy at the Coronado Flower Show.  Claire got lots of attention in her new sun hat.

Enjoying the sunshine!

Taking a very rare daytime nap on the couch.  She woke up minutes after I took this.

Good family pic.

Gamma Comes for a Visit

Robert went on a boys golfing trip so Gamma braved our Wyoming "spring" (aka blizzards for 5 days straight) to spend some time - and lend some help - with Claire and I.

She took lots of great pictures of Claire.












It was great because Gamma was able to get pictures of Claire and Mommy - a rarity.




...and one of Claire and Daddy before he left.

Here is a picture of Gamma bouncing Claire on the exercise ball - the best (and sometimes only) way to get her to go to sleep.

Another new favorite of the peanut's... watching TV.  Her favorites, Glee and American Idol - she loves the music.  Uh oh, we're starting bad habits early.

We had such a great time during Gamma's visit.  Thanks Mom for making the trek out to Wyoming to spend time with us!
