Claire is 9 months old!

On February 4th Claire turned 9 months! Time has flown by. She was 21 lbs 5 ounces and 29 1/2 inches long. She is crawling everywhere. She loves to smile and wave at people. We think she said dadda this week and really meant it. She's been saying it awhile when daddy is nowhere around but she woke up on Friday morning and she said it to him! She has a serious side, she likes to study everything. Sometimes she is not so sure about things, she never cries just looks real serious. She loves to laugh, Emily can get her laughing pretty good. She is starting to become a more consistent sleeper at night. We usually get about 5 days where she will sleep though the night and thenshe is up in the middle of the night??? She has her two bottom teeth in. We thought a few weeks ago that her two top ones were going to pop through but they stil haven't.

Daisy Body Talk

Today I went to Daisy Body Talk. I learned about being healthy. You should exercise an hour every single day. I learned that you should not just yank a loose tooth out because it might break off the roots. I was picked to be Captain Clean Teeth. I had to pick people to do activities.

Lost a Tooth!

A few weeks ago Emily finally lost her first tooth. It had been loose since well before Christmas. It finally was wiggly enough. She did not want us to touch it. Daddy said, "let me look." He took a tissue and yanked it out. It happened so fast! She was so excited. She put the tooth under her pillow that night and the tooth fairy left her a big bonus for it being her first tooth ($10.00)! She is very excited because today the tooth next to the big hole is now loose.

Happy New Year!!

Our new years resolution is to keep the blog going and update it more frequently, more than once a year! Our holidays were pretty uneventful. Sickness hit it us at Christmas and didn't leave the house until after the new year. Thankfully now I think that everyone is back to normal. Emily is growing up. She is in first grade! This fall she started taking dance, a jazz and hip hop class. This week she started a musical theater class, they are going to be doing a production of Camp Rock 2.


Claire is getting so big! She has been waving to us for the last month. Her first tooth popped in this week. She is walking tables and trying hard to stand up on her own. She is such a sweet little girl. Jeremy started a new job in August as a outside sales engineer. He is on the road quite a bit and that has taken some getting used to for our family. His job is taking off and he is getting busier. It is exciting to see him being successful in this new adventure in his career. I am still teaching at the same school that I started at when we moved down here 3 1/2 years ago. I can't believe that it has been that long! For Jeremy it is 4 years this month! I teach 4th grade now and I am the leader of Emily's Girl Scout Daisy Troop. It is a lot of work but so much fun! Our family is very busy but we enjoy it(most the time!).

Going to the Mountains

Yesterday I went into the car to go to the cabin in the mountains. Before we left, I fell down the stairs at home and hurt my arm. We got to the mountains and we went to urgent care. Now I am in a sling and I am feeling better. When I arrived, I looked around the cabin and I kept saying, " It is so awesome!" Then it was finally bedtime. I slept in a bunk bed! Today we woke up and we might go hiking and fishing for trout.

A New Year and a New Start!

A lot of people have been asking mommy to start posting on the blog again. They miss seeing what is happening in our life. So mommy decided to start up again. She said that she will add some pictures this weekend. What has happened since last February when mommy last posted? A LOT!!! We moved into a house in June and we joined the local swim club. We had so much at the pool this summer. We were there almost every weekend. I loved going on the waterslide and playing with my friends. I even had my 5th birthday party there. We went camping with our neighbors. Then at the end of summer my mommy and daddy told me that I was going to be a big sister!!! That was pretty crazy for me. In September we went to Michigan to see Uncle Scott marry my Aunt Janell. I was a flower girl! It was so much fun. In December we found out that I am going to have a sister, due on May 1st. I am so excited. We went back to Michigan at Christmas and we also visited Chicago. Mommy will post some pictures of the past year and then start keeping up with the blog again. See you soon!
