Lake weekend!

What a cutie pie! Sweetness! The girl loves some hats! She will leave them on forever! Makes it fun to dress her up!

This was our view from the deck. It started out as a pretty gloomy cold day, but it warmed up and the sun came out! I know the hat is overkill, but since we just got over the ear infection....thought it was wise not to have that cold wind in her ears. And, it was pretty chilly.

Such a happy little girl!

This is a little mean to take, but she kept exploring the room and getting stuck behind the couch and this little table. Here she is trying her best to get out!

We have a climber! I was really hoping she would not be, but here is the proof! There was a loft at the house this weekend and she was desperate to climb up! A little steep for her 1 year old self!

A little reading by the window. Claire loves to read and be read to! She will often mimic reading by making noises and turning the pages. Pretty funny!


She really started to walk this weekend! Here is a little video of the event. Please excuse my husband's comment at the end. I forgot how to stop the video and you get a nice view of my leg and a little of Strick's conversation. Let me just say that is was Saturday, it was technically "happy hour" time, and we were not driving anywhere!

Well, we were all set to get rid of the bottle today.....I even had a little depression last night after she had what I thought would be her last....and she woke up with a 102 degree fever! Called the nurse and she thinks it could be viral, reaction to shots, possibly ear infection returning....etc! We are going to treat with Motrin until it gets worse. So, anyway, with tears and a fever this morning I did not have it in me. Strick is out of town all day and won't be back until 9 or so tonight, so since I am alone in my quest....we will wait until we are fever free! If it is not one thing it is another! She has never been sick and it seems like we have been given a whammy these past 2 weeks! Hopefully it will end soon! It is torture to see your baby sick!
