Hokie Pokie
The Easter Bunny brought Claire and Grace a singing bunny. The bunny sings many songs including the "Hokie Pokie" which is Claire's favorite as you can clearly see...
Happy Birthday, Claire!
Here we are singing "Happy Birthday" to Claire - she is enjoying the serenade at first... then the burning candle scares her!
Grace wants a hug...
In this video, Pete was chasing Claire around while holding Grace trying to get Claire to hug Grace...
My Do It!
Claire has started to say "My Do It!" (meaning, she wants to do it all alone - Miss Independent)... so here she is wanting to independently go down a large slide at Monkey Joe's! I should say... she walks away completely unharmed :)
March 2010
March has been a very busy month for us. We started out the month by heading down to Nashville to visit Beth which was a lot of fun. My birthday was nice and we had dinner with my family; Pete and I also had a date night up at Purdue while my mom and dad watched the girls. We made a trip to Ohio for a good friend's baby shower, Claire's 2nd birthday celebration, and a get together with family and friends. Claire's vocabulary continues to expand and we are finding that she is very polite! She says "Please", "Thank you", and "Bless you". She gives Grace her binky and blanket and says " Here you go, baby". (She still does not call her Grace) At her 2 year check up, she weighed 27 lbs and was 36 1/2 inches tall. Grace is learning new skills left and right. She is rolling over, has wonderful neck control, and started to laugh/giggle. She is such a delight and it is such a blessing to watch our girls grow. Here are some pictures from this past month...

A baby shower for Lorie - it was so great to see friend's from Akron Children's!
Claire eating cake at her birthday party
She is scared of the candle, but still tried to blow it out once we told her it was hot (Mostly because when we tell her that her food is hot, she blows on it)
Claire received many wonderful gifts including Austin - one of the characters of The Backyardigans (which was the theme of her party)
Enjoying some of her favorite foods - hot dogs, grapes, carrots, etc.
A toy from her new favorite show (Yo Gabba Gabba)
All of us girls in pink

SO thankful to be able to get pictures of the two girls together

We attempted spoon feeding Grace - she did NOT appreciate it (I think we will hold off)
