You Are My Sunshine...

My Precious Baby,

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away...












Take Your Daughter to Work Day!

Today Claire and I swung by Clay's office for a quick visit. Baby girl was a little overwhelmed meeting all of her admirers at once and it took a bit to warm up to everyone. Claire ended up making some new friends and we can't wait to go back soon!

Hillary E. showed Claire all the office equipment!

Baby girl was fascinated!


Who knew a printer could be so fun!


Loves her Daddy!



Reaching for Mommy!

Kisses for Aunt Hill!

Five Months!

     I do not know where the time has gone and I cannot believe it has been a month since my last post! I knew it was time to update the blog when I got an email from my grandma wondering if everything was ok!
     Everything has been going wonderful and not much has changed in our routine since last month! We have been loving every single second with our precious baby girl and I feel so incredibly blessed to have my little family of three!
     Claire has been very busy! Although our routine is the same, we have seen huge changes in our baby girl over the last month! Clay and I can't get over how much she is learning and doing...

-Rolling anywhere and everywhere she wants to go
-Almost sitting up on her own
-Holding our hands and standing up
-Found her feet!
-Talking (squeeling, making sounds)
-Loves being outside
-Watches the dogs constantly, talks to them, and loves touching their fur!
-Blowing raspberries
-Leaning towards whatever she wants and grabbing for it (keys, phone, remote, my cup, me, etc.)
-Grabbing my cup with both hands and putting her mouth on the rim
-BELLY LAUGHING (my favorite sound in the world!)
-Sleeping on her stomach
-Loving her bouncer even more now that she can touch the floor, spin, and reach all the exciting toys!

     Our beautiful baby girl, FIVE months old...
I couldn't love anything more!


Playing with all the fun toys!

She cracks herself up!

Caught her crossing her eyes! Talk about focused!

Viva Las Vegas!

Clay and I recently took a little weekend trip to Las Vegas with our dear friends Matt and Ryan. We had an absolute blast and although I missed Claire terribly, it was a treat to have a weekend away with my amazing husband! We ate delicious food, gambled, spent time at the spa, shopped, and saw the Garth Brooks show. What a fun weekend!
Sake tasting at Okada in the Wynn.

Loved the concert!
