i started this blog for three reasons

1. to share with family and friends who are far

2. to have something for us and claire to look back on

3. it's somewhat like a baby/memory book i can't lose (with the added bonus of one less thing to grab if the house burns down)

so i'm starting now with my baby girl rapidly approaching 6 months!!!

i was told, by many, this time would go by quickly...

                                                                                          

turns out quickly was an understatement

i'm learning to take in

every

single

moment

of this new life God has blessed us with...

month five for claire included her first taste of rice cereal

a bowl full of mush

she also gave me an excuse to buy lots of candy and dress her up like a bunny,

as we celebrated her very 1st easter!

and nothing has been more exciting for her than the jumperoo!
(i admit, i was excited too... perhaps a little more than necessary)
