Baby's Best Friend

Claire's latest discovery:
 It's much more fun to feed Zuko your breakfast
 than eat it yourself.

All I Want For Christmas is...

Claire has had her bottom two front teeth for a while now.  (She got her Christmas wish)  I just haven't been able to capture them well in a picture.  Below is an outtake from our Valentine's Day photo session.  She was pretty unhappy with me... but still cute.

Play Date with Baby Ben

Ben's Mommy, Melissa, and I have gotten the kids together a few times, however, this time they actually interacted and LOVED playing together!  The last few times they mostly sat and stared. Claire was obsessed with trying to pull Ben's hair and the tag in his pants (pictured below).
Below are a few highlights of the play date:

How Dare You!

Claire is not at all pleased with the child-proofing progress we've made around the house.

Claire Meets Death Valley






Claire met a huge group of David's college friends at the annual Death Valley Christmas weekend at Wintergreen. It was great to see you all! Claire looks forward to being the oldest of the DV babies... although there are plenty more on the way! Next year, DV play dates?

Must be a Sigler thing.

Claire's New Game

Claire had a wonderful time developing a new game this morning...
It's called:
Claire Turns The Water On
Mommy Turns The Water Off
It's good for at least 20 minutes of fun.
She doesn't seem to have developed an appreciation for water conservation,
 but at least I was able to fix my hair for work for a change.

Boo Boo Baby


With Claire's newfound mobility she's been getting lots of new bumps and scratches. Her first "official" owie happened while Mommy was out of town in C'ville doing some work. Daddy received the report from Montessori that Claire had bumped her eye on a shelf. Luckily she had Mrs. Amanda to apply an ice pack and she was back to her busy self in no time.
P.S. The bad hair is not a consequence of a fall... just a nap.

Happy Birthday!


Claire wants to wish her Renee a Happy Birthday! She looks forward to celebrating in person this weekend!

Guacamole Anyone?

Claire samples avocado for dinner. She loved it!

UPDATE: She apparently didn't love it as much as we thought. We found most of it mashed in the bottom of the highchair.

Crawling!


Claire has been crawling a little since Thanksgiving, but in the last few days she's really taken off!  We spent much of the Christmas break focused on baby proofing the house.  She's into everything!  As you can probably tell from the video, Zuko is not thrilled about this latest development.

Christmas Flashback Part II: Santa Baby

Christmas Flashback

So, despite the fact that we've neglected the blog recently, below is the proof that baby Claire was not neglected during the holiday season. She managed to be the center of attention everywhere she went. These are pictures from my dad's company annual Christmas party.
