We've had a great month. Went to Steamboat and had a great time with Grandma Tish, Leslie & family and then returned for a visit with Uncle George. Afterwards, Grandma Pat spontaneously flew out for a quick visit.
Claire is getting big. She has been laughing sporadically and putting her hands, bib, toys, etc. into her mouth constantly. As you can see from the pictures, she always has her left hand near her face. Could she be left-handed like Grandma Pat?
We're starting to get a better sense of her personality: determined, social, definite, talkative. She is a fun girl. She loves getting out and about and is very portable. She's been rolling over more frequently lately (tummy to back). She hates tummy time so she is always very, very determined to get onto her back. She loves looking at herself in mirrors and always greets herself with a funny, coy, side smile. She's a crack up and she's almost 4 months old.
We're having a lot of fun and hope you are also! Happy soon-to-be spring!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Claire experienced her first St. Patty's party this weekend at the Denver Press Club, hosted by our friends Jeanne & Jeff Laws. It reminded me of all the years spent at Ken's Tavern on the South Side of Chicago for the St. Patrick's Day Parades. Claire was a good sport. It was really loud and she slept right through the bagpipes and the Irish dancing. After a quick cat nap, she woke up and started to get a little overwhelmed by all the attention. Lately, when new people approach her, she gets a little upset. She juts out her lower lip in the most heartwrenching little pout before launching into a full-throttle cry. Once we saw "the look" we figured she'd had enough and got out of there. We're feeling lucky that we have such a cool baby. Cheers!
