Papparazzi

We wanted to put up a more recent photo of Claire, but we didn't really have any, so we tried to take some. I have to say that she just isn't very photogenic right now. She has some really neat expressions, but they are so far elusive from the camera. But, we'll keep trying. Dad's warm belly is an amazing cause for a nap. Her neck is incredibly strong, and she holds her head up to look around quite a bit. Her stamina is growing.

Baby Pictures

As any of you with children know, there are many important things to do in your first child's first week after birth. We figured that it was important to take pictures, but we have been a little slow at sharing. Here are some from the hospital:

Claire, soon after she was born

Claire with her cousin Brooke and Aunt Kristy (Dad's sister)

Claire with her cousin Lily and Uncle Anthony (Mom's brother)

Claire with her Aunt Laura (Dad's other sister)

Claire in one of her favorite spots to be

And finally a better closeup.

She's here!!!!!!!!!!
