A couple vids

Finally took some time to download the videos that have been piling up in the flip... Here are a couple of Nicholas and Claire & the latest from their repertoire:

Nicholas took a bad fall right after Christmas and hit his nose on the edge of the bathtub. He cried really hard for a few minutes and then said "I want to watch cartoons". The next day he had two black eyes. Poor little guy. Thankfully it's all healed now.



Claire loves to get her toes when she's laying on her changing table. She sometimes bends over to chew on them while she's sitting up, too. I think she kicks her socks off on purpose just to get to her bare feet!


Here's Claire trying cereal for the first time. She ate a few bites but wasn't crazy about it. Her favorite part was chewing on the spoon.


Claire got this giraffe chew toy from granddad for Christmas. It's now one of her favorite toys!

Claire has taken a real interest in Nicholas' toys lately! She wants to be right where the action is.

My Sweet girl

My sweet boy

Sometimes it's more fun to play in the bathtub without any water!




Nicholas loves to get ice cream cones at McDonald's except he doesn't like the cone!





We spend most of our time these days playing with Thomas and Gordan (trains, for those of you who don't know). Lately Nicholas has been making them crash in all the ways he can think of. Here they are knocking down towers. It's fun to hear him play because he makes the trains talk to each other. He's got quite an imagination!

Hang Out Time

After almost 5 months of being a big brother, Nicholas still loves Claire VERY much! I thought the novelty would have worn off by now but I was wrong. He loves to make her smile, and even though he's a bit rough most of the time, I guess it's better than having him ignore her.




Nicholas had a great time playing in the leaves!

Nicholas is still my cuddle bug.


Claire has learned to roll from her tummy to her back. Here she's in the middle of her new stunt.

Nicholas and Claire are ready to go trick or treating. Nicholas had a great time and enjoyed all his goodies. The next day he woke up and said "Halloween's coming up!" I guess he thought it should last more than just one day!
