My big girl!

Yesterday we celebrated Cousin Kira's fourth birthday in Spencer! It was interesting to see my mother and father in the same house with their respective spouses and Tim's parents (Kira's paternal grandparents)...it was quite the motley crew of folks! But it was all to celebrate Kira's birthday. We had great BBQ food, ice cream cake, and then the kids spent some time in the plastic kiddie pool! It was a good time!

Claire has become quite the adventurous little bug. After 10 minutes in the pool, she started crawling around and nose diving into the water! Apparently she's going to be a swimmer!

This morning, Claire asserted her grown-up self with a little standing in the high chair. Despite being strapped in, she managed to stand up in it again. I didn't even leave the room this time, I just turned around and picked up a bib off the couch! I guess we're going to have to start using the shoulder straps too...

..and we learned how to properly "cheese" for the camera! Cute!
