Potty time

Are you surprised to see Allie?! She loves doing everything that Claire does, so she will go into the bathroom and sit on Claire's potty. Pretty cute!

A Princess and her Pup!

Puppy has starry eyes!
Now Claire does too!
Claire had on all three of her princess outfits from Pamma. She is wearing two crowns and her pup has the third one! She put on her Sleeping Beauty outfit first, but you don't really see it! On top of that was Belle and Tiana.
Her usual silly self!

Allie 14 months

Our little Als is growing up. She loves to sit at the little table like a big girl. We have to hide the little chairs because she loves to stand on them and rock. She is my little climbing child who still won't walk! Allie is such an observer and loves to go out and take notice of everything. She has 6 teeth with a tiny 7th poking through. She loves her sister so much, and they like to sing songs and laugh together. Hearing them both laughing in sync always makes my day.

Boiler up Illini!?

My little cheerleaders! They both looked super cute, but I could not get a good picture of them!

Daddy's little helper girl!

Claire was very eager to help Matt replace the door stopper. She always assists him with his handyman work. This includes changing the light bulbs and replacing the batteries in toys, remotes, etc. Very heavy duty stuff! She takes her job very seriously and when a light bulb burns out, she is quick to let her dad know! How nice that I don't have to nag him to do it!

Snow is here! Backyard snow hill!

Claire enjoyed sledding down the stairs of our deck! I packed in the snow and did a trial run first! I guided her down and let go of the sled about halfway down the hill and she did great.
Hot chocolate!

Kitty cat earmuffs

Claire LOVES them! I let her wear them to her "school" and when I came to pick her up an hour and a half later, she still had them on! It was funny, but I had a talk with her that they are only to be worn outside when it's cold. I wonder if she heard anything her teacher said! :)
