Playdates, Shoes, and Make-Believe

Claire can now say, "play," and boy, does she love to do it! A week or so ago we had her friend Elizabeth over for a play date and they had a great time. For some reason, they wanted to both get in Claire's crib to play with the stuffed animals. It was bit tight, but they seemed to have fun!


Claire has also become a big fan of shoes. She loves all kinds of shoes.... she loves her own shoes, she loves pictures of shoes, but mostly she loves trying on Mommy and Daddy's shoes. She found Daddy's sandals the other day and was able to even take a few steps.


Today, I had a very funny experience with Claire. I was talking on the phone to a friend and as I was wrapping up the conversation, I noticed that Claire had picked up on of the TV remotes (that looks a lot like our cordless phone). She was babbling away at the remote, and after a few minutes, said, "bye" and hung up. It was too funny!


Claire is also fascinated by the computer. Before bedtime tonight, she was having a great time sitting in Daddy's lap, banging on the keyboard, clicking the mouse, and listening to country (Andy's choice, not mine) music. She loves that she can make the screen do things by pushing buttons and moving the mouse. Whenever Andy or I are on the computer, she always wants, "UP!!"
