I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream

Claire has on her new Ice Cream Cone sweater sent to her by our Aunt Carolyn. Love, love, LOVE it! Thank you so much, Aunt Carolyn...it's definitely going into high rotation in her wardrobe!

Kids Get you Free Stuff

Especially when they get away from you and take bites out of the unprotected cupcakes at Downtown Atlantic. Thanks, Downtown Atlantic, for comping the cupcake - it was delish!

High Performance Driver

The wheels on the bus go round and round...on the bus at the Brooklyn Children's Museum.

Junior Firefighter

Claire's Uncle John has been here for a week-long visit. Today we went on a field trip to our local firehouse to take them a delicious cake John baked and to visit a bit. Claire was fascinated with the firepole and loved trying to slide on it.

Walk a mile in my shoes

One day you'll walk in size 10's, Claire, one day...

Easter Egg Hunt 2010

Somehow we managed to not get a single picture of Claire gathering eggs at a lovely Easter egg hunt organized by our friends Jasmina, Phillip and Alex, but if you look really closely at the bottom right-hand corner of this photo (also taken by Jasmina) you'll see the tiniest sliver of a blue egg in Claire's hand. Candy, found in many of the eggs, was almost as popular as a couple of temporary tattoos!

Nancy Sinatra

These boots are made for walking...if you're a size 10!
Otherwise, they're made for just standing in and looking really cute.

Beautiful, but messy, girl

A little dirty, OK, a lot dirty, after applesauce at dinner but seriously
one of the most gorgeous pictures we have of her beautiful face.

Who needs the Stinkin' Super Bowl?

When you can hang out in Mommy and Daddy's bed
and watch the Puppy Bowl?!?
Go Pound Puppies! I can't wait for the Kitten Halftime show!

Left alone with her Daddy

Fruit Loops, a phone, bottle of water and - apparently - Seasame Street
with Elmo's World on the TV.

Southern Girls Gang

Watch out or we'll pink you to death!

If Daddy and I both put our minds to it

One day I'll be able to pee in the potty and
not on the floor in front of the potty.

Time to cut back on the snacks, maybe?


Shirt, meet skirt; skirt, meet shirt. 'nuff said...
*parental disclosure, it's blueberries in the bowl

First busted lip


Along with the walking comes falling down. Today was the first major fall resulting in a puffy lip and a little cut on Claire's chin. She's fine, Mommy's gonna eventually be OK too.

Just 'cause the pajamas are cute

Claire has really found her sturdy walking legs and is moving all over the house. She happens to have on some really cute pajamas today, too.

Watch out, Shawn Johnson

It's a good thing Shawn Johnson won the DWTS competition, Claire is hot on her heels to take over as a world-class gymnast!

Mrs. Wiggins

Now, if I could just teach her how to make work calls for me...
