Touchdown!

 

 

This being the first weekend of college football, we couldn't help but show off Claire's football wear. Today, while I was at the NU game, Jeff tried the cheesehead on Claire. Then, when I got home from the game, I took some pictures in the new sweatshirt I got Claire at the game. Personally, I think she looks a lot better in purple than in a yellow foam hat, but who am I to judge?

Trip to the Fair

 

On Claire's first trip to the Adams County Fair, she rode on the Merry-Go-Round with Jeff. She wasn't so sure at first, but then she got the hang of it.

Busy Summer!

 

 

 

We've had a busy summer, so far. I can't believe that it is August! Last weekend, Claire went to the zoo and Cantigny with her cousins, Hannah and Giselle. Everyone had a fun time.

Walking... a little

Although it's still not her primary mode of transport, Claire does take some steps all on her own. I just so happened to catch one of these steps in action. She's very proud of herself once she takes said steps - she's her own best cheerleader.

Summer Fun

 

 

 

 

Today's a beautiful day. We took Claire outside to play in her pool. She thought it was fun... but kept trying to drink the water sprinkles.

Go, Cubs, Go!

 

Tough to get 7 kids to smile... this is the closest I got!

Claire's Role Models

 

Claire spends alot of time with her cousins... I'm hoping they're influencing her sports affiliation.
