The Voice of Claire

This past weekend, Sheila and I had the opportunity to go see one of my favorite bands, Tenth Avenue North. They were playing with Casting Crowns in College Station. It turned out to be everything I was hoping. I then decided that I need to do a new blog and use a Casting Crowns song as the backdrop. We have been working with Claire on both her talking and her walking. I think we are past the point of the crawl-walk and getting close to just a plain walk. She is using Owen's walker to put on some serious miles. Sheila and I were both getting very tired chasing her around so I rigged up a string to the front of the walker. Now she can walk in circles to her hearts content. It seems she never gets tired. We have fun watching her get distracted and start to loose her balance. She quickly realizes that she is falling and pulls hard on the walker to correct the situation. Today we are taking the maiden voyage into the pool. It is going to be about 85 out and we thought it is time to teach Claire how to swim. I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures coming real soon.
