A little bummed...

I am sad today. I took Claire in for her follow up appointment after a recent ear infection. I was praying for a great visit, but unfortunately we left worse than I thought we were. It turns out the first ear infection must not have cleared and she now has one in both ears. Talk about feeling bad! I had no idea! Seriously, the tell tale signs just weren't there for her. The doc kept asking how she has been acting, and she is just acting her normal self. I hope it wasn't bothering her and she was trying to tell me!! They are putting her on a different antibiotic, hoping it will take care of it. She is just the sweet little girl she always is, so I don't know where I went wrong....

Growing...

On my last post, I meant to add a picture of Claire riding in her new "big girl" car seat. It was so cute the first time we put her in it. She looked around and smiled like a whole new world was open to her. I guess it actually was, because she can now see more than a back seat. It is fun having her face forward, because we can see her too now.

Then, we have Claire using a walker she got for her birthday. She is getting better at walking, but she is still a little unsure. We practice having her walk a few steps in between Daddy and me so she'll get more confident.



Finally, here is Claire in her rocking chair. She has figured out how to get into it herself, so sometimes I give her a book to "read" while she is sitting there. I just think she looks so cute!!
You are growing so much! We love you, our "big" baby girl!!

Here and there

Hello my friends, family, and blog police (you know who you are!) I won't mention any names at this point!! :) It has been a long while since I have posted, pictures especially. I downloaded a bunch of pictures from my phone, so I will post many of those. They may be a little random, so I will try to get a caption for you. I am enjoying every second of my time home and I think Claire enjoys having a couple friends to play with. It is a lot of fun! Ok...here we go!

This is a toy I found at Goodwill. Seriously, it was $2 and totally clean! I washed it and it was ready to go!


Eating YUMMY pizza!!


Just Chillaxing...We are working on "no feet on the table" but it was too cute!


Claire playing at church. There is a large tube and crawling area. She loved it!


I found this little rocking chair on the curb. The seat was coming apart a little. (wicker) I just took it off, wrapped it in a thick cloth and stitched it shut. Good as new...and free!!
