April was a great month for the Vandervaart Family. Claire is doing and learning so many new things. We were able to head to Ohio for Easter and spent some great time with friends and family. Claire enjoyed putting the eggs into a basket and then clapping for herself! Grandpa Carroll was in the hospital for about 12 days with a blood infection and Claire was not allowed to visit for a while. He is doing better now and expected to have a bone marrow transplant on May 11th. Here are some pictures from our April...
We introduced Claire the joys of a shower...
We THINK she liked it
Still loves Italian foods :)
Trying to learn to use a fork
She loves her new chair and LOVES to look at books!
She kept reaching for the lemon on our water and at first she was OK with it...
THEN the after taste kicked in!
A sleepy Claire bear
Giving Granda's newly bald head a kiss :)
She likes to bite off apples
She got a BIG chunk of apple (in her left cheek)
One cool chick!
Playing in her pool on our balcony
Daddy still throws her way up in the air
After collecting quite a few Easter eggs
She spilled her basket of eggs :(
And then clapped for herself when she put them back in her basket :)
Playing after Easter church

Grandpa Carroll celebrated his 59th(... I mean, 45th) birthday this month
We went to the park when the Vandervaarts visited at the beginning of the month
We also went to the zoo
