The second dress was a surprise for me made out of fabric left over from a Christmas dress made for me when I was a baby. They both turned out great. Thanks mom!

Claire's Christmas Dresses
Grandma Doni made Claire 2 adorable Christmas dresses with a black fur shrug and matching hat. The first one was made out of fabric I helped pick out.

What you missed this summer
I can't believe it is already October! I started this blog because my family and friends are so spread out I thought it would be a good way to keep everybody updated, but I was so busy being a mommy I haven't been keeping up with Claire's blog. So here is what you missed this summer:
Claire went to her first Mariner's game in April with me and Will. It was a night game and we didn't really plan on her getting tired so when she did we had to improvise. Will made her a bed inside her diaper bag. She took a nice little nap in it and when she woke up she was so cozy she didn't want to be taken out.
Claire has since been to one other Mariner's game. It was in August against the Yankee's and we got to see a lot of my dad's side of the family.
In May we flew to Las Vegas to celebrate mine and Sara's 21st birthday. Claire did great on her first plane trip and has continued to be a really good flier. Even though we were only in Vegas for a couple days we had a lot of fun. Claire especially loved floating on the lazy river at our resort.
In July we flew to Texas to visit Auntie Sara and Auntie Jaime. We went on a safari, spent an afternoon at Sara's work having lunch and meeting her co-workers, and spent some time at the pool. I wish they lived closer. It is hard being so far away from them.
In August Will, Claire and I moved into our apartment in Bellingham. We had a lot of much needed help from my parents and our good friends Randy and Heather. Claire wasn't much help in the lifting or unpacking department, but she did make sure that Grandpa did a good job putting her high chair together.
Last month we flew to Orlando, Florida for our first family vacation. We got to go to all four of the Disney theme parks and Disney's Blizzard Beach water park. My parent's came with us and were gracious enough to watch Claire so we could spend a day with my friend, Amanda, who is living in Orlando and going through the Disney college program. It was so great to hang out with her and see her in action! Our trip to Florida was the perfect way to end our summer.
Other Claire updates: Claire is 8 months old and weighs about 16 lbs. She has two teeth (which she hides with her tongue every time I try to take a picture) and is learning how to crawl (even though she can roll around to get pretty much anything she wants). I know everybody says it... but she really is growing up so fast!!!
