This is what greeted me in my kitchen this morning – dish towels no longer hanging on the oven door and a random basket. Hmmm… that basket looks familiar…
Oh yes, it’s the basket that holds Clare’s books in the living room. So therefore the books are on the floor.
I suspect that this cutie has some ideas about how all this happened. She’s not giving me any answers though.
When she’s not eating, Clare can usually be found running and getting into things. These pictures were taken last weekend in Bend, and you can see how active and agile our girl is. She’s particularly fond of active toys that work on her gross motor skills, like balls, push/pull and ride-on toys. She’s also beginning to climb on things (though fortunately not the couch yet).
I love this picture of J and Clare because it reminds me of a conversation J and I had when I was pregnant. J told me that he didn’t think he would read to the baby very much. I think his exact quote was “you’re the reader, so I think you’ll do the reading. I’ll play ball with them when they’re older because I’m more athletic.” Well, fast forward a year later and J is reading, playing ball and doing whatever else Clare asks him to do. I consider this picture the very sweetest and nicest “I told you so” ever.
