Claire is 1!

I can't believe Claire is already turning 1.  This year has gone by so fast.  She had a great birthday party this weekend with the family.  She had her very own cake although she wasn't very interested.  I gave her some the next day and she still didn't really eat it.  She doesn't walk yet but she's very fast at crawling.  She loves to follow Kate around.   Kate was pretty excited for Claire's birthday too.

Claire is saying ma, ma, ma and ba ,ba, ba. She is pretty happy all the time.  She doesn't really like baby food anymore, she wants to eat whatever we are eating.

Both Claire and Kate started swim class this weekend.  Kate was very excited but she was kind of upset when it was over since the class is only 30 min.  Claire did pretty well in the baby class, she was kicking her feet and paddling.

Claire knows lots of tricks

Claire has learned some tricks and I was able to get them on video.  I've been asking her "how big is Claire?" and then holding up her arms and saying "so big." So now when I ask her she holds up her arms.  She also holds up her toes when I ask her "Where's your toes?".  She has started saying ma ma but I don't think she's saying it to me.

I can't believe that she's going to be 1 in less than 2 weeks.  She hasn't tried to walk at all yet but she loves climbing stairs and can pull herself up and walk along furniture.

More Christmas photos

After Christmas Kate was really excited to play with all her new toys.  We played with her princess play doh that Aunt Gail got her.  She also played dress up with the clothes that Aunt Debbie got her and even let Claire wear the crown (for the picture only.)

Kate was extremely excited that it snowed and couldn't wait to go out and play in the snow.  She would have stayed outside all day but we were able to bribe her to come inside with hot chocolate and whip cream.
