It's fall...

Claire is getting so big and even though she is still my baby she is getting more independent.  She will finally hold her own bottle.  I know she could before but she just didn't want to.  She's starting to really show her personality.  She thinks it is absolutely hilarious to take one sock off.  She is already trying to do everything that Kate does.  Kate mostly likes her and especially likes to tell her what to do.

Kate loves Halloween and couldn't wait to wear her costume.  My mom and I took her trick or treating in downtown Rochester.   She was really excited to get lots of candy.  Claire wasn't that excited but she was a good sport sitting in her stroller.  Kate had a great time and grandma took her in and out of every store for candy.

Fall is here!

Claire is of course just like any girl attracted to jewelry and crowns so she wanted to wear her sister's crown.  She also likes sparkly rings and shoes.  She doesn't have much hair yet so we don't really have many accessories for her.

Kate is really excited for fall and especially Halloween.  Last weekend, I took her to the Halloween store to pick out her costume.  I thought she'd have fun looking at all the costumes but I forgot how scary some of the displays are.  She was terrified so we paid for her costume and ran out of the store.  I also took her to the Clawson Fall festival which was pretty small but nice and almost everything was free.  We went on a hayride, she got her face painted, she bounced in the bounce, we bought some doughnuts and apples then went home

Claire is on lots of adventures!

Claire is getting more mobile every day and Kate doesn't really like her touching all her stuff.  In morning when Claire is up and Kate is still sleeping I let Claire play with some of Kate's stuff, shhhhhhh...don't tell her.  Kate is pretty nice to Claire most of the time.  She even helps her break of out her "baby jail" , a baby gate we have in the basement to keep Claire out of Kate's small toys.
