Nicholas often looked through this magazine to show me what he wanted for Christmas. One day as we were getting ready to leave the house he showed this to Claire and asked what she would like.

This was Claire's first experience playing in the snow.

She was so bundled up that when she fell down she couldn't get up by herself!

Claire discovered recently that when she can't reach something she wants, all she has to do is use the step stool to climb. I'm sure she learned to do this from watching her big brother!

Claire's first 18 months: newborn, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 month pictures. Somebody please slow down the clock!
