Extra Extra...Claire eats with a spoon!

She didn't like it though as you can see by the pictures! We kept saying "it's just milk and rice, it has barely any flavor!" She was making the funniest faces though. We'll try again next week.
"No more....please"

Road Trip!

We took a road trip on Saturday to a little town about 40 miles west of Austin called Johnson City. We had a great time. We checked out Pedernales Falls state park, stopped in some hill country wineries and bought some wine, and had dinner. Claire was so good the whole trip. She really seems to like the outdoors! Here are some pics.

July 4th and stuff

Happy 4th of July everyone! Claire had plenty of firsts since our last post. She went to her first baseball game. The Round Rock Express are the farm team for the Houston Astros and their park is about 4 miles from our house. Our next door neighbors gave us some excellent tickets right behind the backstop in the 5th row. Claire had a lot of fun and was the center of attention for the people around us.
Claire can do something new just about every day as it seems. She can now hold herself up with her arms when lying on her stomach, she can now roll from her front to her back, and she talks in her baby language constantly. We took her in for her 4 month shots a couple weeks ago and she is in the 95th percentile for height! Weight and head circumference were perfectly average. The doctor said she looks perfect which we pretty much already knew!
For the 4th of July and our 8th wedding anniversary we had our friends Kyle and Michelle over and we went out to the local park to toss the frisbee around and watch the fireworks. Then we came home and I put on a short display of my own. We had a great time. We hope you all had a great 4th. We love you all.
