Back to routine

We had an amazing time up in Minnesota and wish we could have stayed longer. As you saw from the previous blog of pics, we kept plenty busy!
Now we are back into the swing of things at home. Claire is back into her routine and keeps very busy playing with her toys and telling Mommy and Daddy "no" by shaking her head. She is getting very good at letting us know what she wants and when she wants it! It is nice that Claire is able to communicate some with us, but it is also hard. She has been getting frustrated when we cannot understand what she wants and also gets upset with her limited abilities. When things are not going Claire's way, we hear about it! I guess it is all part of Claire developing her personality!
She is getting very good at walking now and sometimes even tries to run a little. Most often these attempts end up with Claire on her face, but she just gets back up and keeps going. Yesterday we had her in the pool for almost 2 hours. She went under the water a few times and really seemed to enjoy watching our neighbor girl, Haylee, swim. Claire had the most fun when Jeff and I would toss her into the air to each other. Our little girl is growing up!
