Pudding Fun!

Today the girls played with pudding! Emily started out by "finger painting" with it and quickly remembered she didn't like getting messy and switched to cookie cutters and spoons.

Claire on the other hand only thought it was food! :-)

Halloween Fun

Carving the pumpkins and trick-or-treating were part of our fun this year. Here are some photos of the girls getting ready for the big day! :-)

Claire's 1 year stats...

DING! DING!

CLAIRE MARIE NOLAN

Weighing in at: 17lbs 13oz (6%tile)
Towering in at: 26.75in (8%tile)
Head butting in at: 18in (70%tile)

She's lean, she's mean, she's a fighting machine! That's our girl. Little, but solid and a big head. ;-) Her height/weight ratio puts her in at 60% so she's at least pretty proportionate.

She is pulling herself up to standing on anything, everything, and anybody. The last day or so has started to slowly cruise on furniture a bit. I predict walking in the next month or two. She cracks us up with her antics and "evil" smile when she's up to no good. When she wants something she doesn't STOP...ever. LOL She is saying "dadda, mamma, yesssssss, buh bye, and buh buh (bottle)". She now claps when she is really happy about something (which is typically listening to music) and has started singing along.

It's hard to believe our little one is...well...ONE! But it is so exciting to see her grow!

Claire is ONE!

Wow, this year has definitely flown by! Our little Claire is now one year old today! On Sunday we had a party with family to celebrate and here is the slide show of the highlights. Her well-baby appointment is on Wednesday and we'll be sure to share stats then.

Emily's day out with Mommy...

Today Mommy and I went into Boston with some friends to play at the Boston Children's Museum. I had so much fun playing in the various rooms and can't wait to go back soon. Mommy took so many pictures that she is including a slideshow for you to visit of it. You can also see some pictures with my friends Brody and Joel. Enjoy!

Puddle Jumping!

Nothing like spontaneously going out and puddle jumping in a Summer storm!

Ready? Set? GO!!!

SPLOOSH!!!

This is fun Mommy!!! Come join me! :-)

Claire is 9mo!

Hard to believe our little one is growing up so fast! She is now crawling around the house EVERYWHERE and trying to play with all her big sister's toys which doesn't make Emily happy. ;-) She's eating solid foods and can feed herself finger food. She LOVES blueberries as you can see in the picture. :-)

She had her 9mo appt today and here are the stats:

HEIGHT: 26.5in (14%tile)

WEIGHT: 15lbs 5oz (3%tile)

HEAD: 17.5in (64%tile)

So still small and skinny with a big head. LOL

We thought she popped her first tooth yesterday (first time I felt anything) but the little bugger kept thrusting her tongue out to thwart any successful attempts at confirmation. When I mentioned it to the doctor he said he'd take a look for me and COULDN'T for the same reason. LOL He complimented me on her strong tongue. ;-) We did get confirmation, however, after her shot today when she started screaming. It pulled the tongue back and I could see TWO teeth (the bottom two center) had poked through the gum. So we've got teeth!!!
