99% Nice, 1% Naughty

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

We are preparing to leave to visit the Artz grandparents tomorrow, and both Claire and Susan are asleep, so this is one of the rare moments that I have completely to myself. 

This past week we “had Christmas” with the Mitchell side of the family.  We all went over to the Mitchell grandparents for an afternoon of good food, good company, and gifts for all.

Just before we arrived, however, we managed to sneak in a quick visit to Santa, where Claire mentioned that she had been extra good this year.

Claire also made another friend last week, when Susan’s friend Anna brought her 8 month old daughter Marisha over for a play date. There isn’t much playing at Claire’s age, so she just drooled on everything, which is about par for the course.

And now we are finishing up preparations to spend another Christmas in Colorado.  Its amazing how much stuff is required to transport a baby, but luckily the Artz grandparents were able to obtain a lot of the larger baby items (car seat, pack-n-play, etc), which thankfully alleviates the need for us to carry them on the plane. We’re excited to see the grandparents again, as well as show off Claire to all the other relatives in Colorado.

Claire Turns 2 (Months)

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Claire had her two month doctor’s visit this past Friday. She weighed in at a positively portly 9 lbs, 8 oz, which puts her in the top 25%. This means she is still a little light for her height (21 3/4 inches, 50%), but the doctor said that she was perfectly healthy. She also received 4 shots in her little legs, which made her cry quite a bit and caused her to be lethargic for the rest of the day.

Unfortunately, we haven’t been keeping up with our picture taking during the week, but have a bunch of movie clips just waiting to be uploaded. So stay tuned!

Here are a couple of clips of Claire playing (and talking) on her favorite place, her changing table. Its a video that only family could be interested in.
