Today is big day. We both got to experience Claire's first smiles. She gave us a big smile this morning before Jeff went to work and then I was able to get two more smiles out of her this afternoon while we were dancing to nursery rhyme songs! It was so amazing to watch her give these huge smiles. She has also started cooing once in a while. I am so glad we were both able to be here to witness her first smile!
Claire has spent most of the day resting up for her big trip tomorrow. We are so excited to see everyone. Tomorrow will be an early morning since our plane leaves at 7am. I am not complaining though...it means more time we get to spend with family.
We had one more test today. Jeff called me once he got to work and told me he has a nail in his tire and wanted me to come and switch cars to get his fixed. It was my first trip down the stairs while carrying Claire. I was pretty nervous but took it very slow and we did just fine. This test was good for me...I now know that when we get back from MN, I will hopefully be able to get out on my own with Claire to go for walks. This is wonderful news because this apartment is getting to be a bit claustrophobic for me!
I will post some pictures while we are in MN if I get a chance and access to the Internet. Otherwise, be ready for lots of postings when we return! Claire will have her first airplane ride, first pontoon ride, and will get to meet lots of her family for the very first time! We have a busy and exciting 11 days ahead!
