Claire's Antics

Claire turned 10-months-old this month and she's getting pretty active. She scoots around everywhere on her bottom and likes to explore the whole house now. She's pretty fond of the computer, too.

She also likes to play with my toys.
And her new favorite thing--being outside! Now that it's warming up, we've been able to take walks and play on the back patio (I hesitate to call it a "backyard" at this point, but hopefully there will be a future blog about that this summer). Daddy brought out my swing and cleaned it up. I let her use it, but I really wanted to be the first one in. She really liked it.

Let's Go Fly A Kite

Last week I was playing in the snow and this week I learned how to fly a kite. Daddy and I went to the park to play and when we came home, Mommy brought out my Elmo kite and we all went outside. It was really windy and it flew really high. It had a long, green tail that I thought was pretty neat. Claire really liked being outside, too.

Snow Time!

We had another snow this past weekend. No ice, just snow. Daddy tried to take me out to play in it Saturday, but I really didn't want to. It was still snowing pretty hard and it kept getting on my face and I didn't like that. On our way home from church Sunday morning, we saw one of our neighbors making a snowman. I thought that looked like fun, so I convinced Daddy to take me back outside and help me build one of my own. Here I am watching Daddy do the hard part: Photo op with carrot nose in hand: Putting the eyes on (they were vanilla wafers): Me and my snowman:
Later that day, it was sunny and a bit warmer and the snowman fell over.
