Play Time

Colin is still very attached to his Baby Einstein toy (that's made for babies UP TO 9MONTHS). As you can see in the pictures, he is lovingly showing Claire how she should play with it.




Going to the group playdate at the Hoboken Community Center!





This picture doesn't really belong under the post "Play Time" it should be titled "Work Time". Colin finally got tired of waiting for Matt and me to put together his kitchen set so he took matters into his own hands. His fine motor skills are pretty advanced for a 2 year old, don't you think? He certainly saved me a big headache by putting his kitchen together himself.

Claire Pictures

Just some random pictures of Claire.






Matt's New Workout

In order to distract Colin, Matt discovered a new way to get in shape.

My Helper

As I've mentioned before, Colin can be a big helper. Here's a picture of him helping me do the laundry.





Smiles from Claire

Claire is starting to smile at us now. I'm so taken with watching her and trying to get her to smile longer that I forget to get the camera. I did manage to capture this half smile the other night, though. Anyone who's seen Claire recently knows the smiles are much better than this video, but at least it's a sample of how cute her smiles are.

Claire and Penelope

Claire had her first doctor's appointment a few weeks ago. She's about 8 1/2 pounds now and she's outgrown all of her newborn clothing. Now that she's a month old, I thought we should start posting her pictures with Penelope. See you next month!
