Oh Fishy!

Alley and Claire were mesmerized by the orange fish. I remember Alley loving this bouncy seat. Claire seems to take a liking to it too and smiles at the starfish that spins.

Claire really is a smiley baby. Once she learned how to smile she can't stop. But on the other hand she'll really almost startle you with her loud cry that pops up all of a sudden.

First week of daycare

Claire seemed to have a good first week of daycare. She seems to take mostly catnaps there - maybe an hour at a time. She must like to look at all the other kids and babies. She has quite a range in her room, to ones that can, and crawl, to babies that lounge in the bouncers like her. She must be wore out by the end of the day, because she is sleeping so much better at night. She only gets up once now and goes back to sleep so much better. I still haven't figured out the best way to drop the 2 kids off at daycare, as Alley really is pokey in the morning and wants to play with everything she sees in Claire's room. On Friday they brought Claire over to Alley's room to visit - but it is tough to say if Alley remembers that her little sister is down the hall.

By the way, Claire isn't sitting up yet - Rob propped her up for the picture.

Dr. Claire?

Claire was a doctor for Halloween. Our friend Angie gave us Baby Scrubs when she was born. She seems pretty comfortable in them.

Growing up

Alley regressed a little and was playing with Claire in the baby gym.

But Claire smiles more and more everyday and seems to be growing out of the newborn stage. She is cooing too. She even has rolled over a few times from her stomach to her back.

She starts daycare next week - so I hope with these new milestones she can be a little more independant and be OK away from her Mom.
