Jessica and Nate were married on Saturday. My girls got an incredible uncle that day and of course, Jessica got a wonderful husband. We had such a good time. Claire and Ava went to the salon to get her 'princess on.' She looked perfect in her little crown, beautiful dress and cute little smile. The wedding was lovely, our toast was awesome (if I do say so myself) and the dance was fun. The toast was a group effort...my vision, Chris' idea and my sisters and Phil's imagination. Awesome. We rewrote the verses to Sonny and Cher's "I Got You Babe." Jessica and Nate refer to each other as babe at nauseaum. It was perfect and very funny; however, I may be a bit biased. Our gift to them, which is from my sisters and I, was a personalized picture. They loved it. All in all, it was a perfect day. Let's hope the perfection continues for the rest of their lives.
Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....
