She has started talking! and First Visit to Camp

Claire has discovered that she can talk. Last night sitting in her high chair she kept saying da-da over and over again. Since then, she has not been quiet. It's da-da, la-la, ya-ya all day long and is so cute! Today we also took Claire up to Camp Sequoyah for her first visit to boy scout camp. She wasn't feeling very good, but seemed to enjoy being carried around in her snugli while we hiked around a little bit. Here is a picture of us sitting out front of the medic hut(you can tell she doesn't feel good).

Homemade Baby Clothes

I took a couple of sewing classes while I was pregnant with Claire. In the beginners class I made a very simple a-line dress for Claire that will fit her in a few more months, and in the intermediate class I learned how to make a bubble outfit that included piping, buttons, elastic legs, snaps under the legs. Well, I never finished it during the class and Claire was born soon after. The outfit I started was a nine month outfit and I figured I should finish it before she is too big to wear it and I really think it turned out cute. Here she is modeling it before church today.

And then, here is just a cute picture Todd took while she was taking a bath the other night.
