Claire Rolling for the camera!

Back in March Claire started to roll over, however we were never able to catch it on video and apparently she decided that she wasn't going to do it anymore. We have been waiting for her to perform this milestone again for some time and tonight she decided that it was time to pull that trick out again and let us capture it on video.



Party in my Pajamas! This photo is for Mrs. Jessica Yoo- check out the headband!

First Trip to the Zoo

Today we met our friends Barry, Natalia and Alba at the zoo for a fun filled afternoon on a beautiful Colorado Sunday! We enjoyed a great picnic and seeing some cool animals up close. We can't wait to go back in a few weeks to get a peek at Denver's newest addition a baby giraffe.

April 2010

Since we are a little behind on posting, we are combining a few big events into one post for your reading & viewing enjoyment!

Week of April 5th
We started off the week with the arrival of Christian and Kristen for a week visit! We all enjoyed the visit and the fun places that we were able to show them. We spent 4 days in the
mountains and Claire seemed to enjoy all the outdoor activities including taking rides in her new BOB off road jogging stroller.

There was also a big milestone for Claire this week- the introduction of Rice Cereal! Claire actually seems to like it and although a lot landed on her bib a decent amount made it into her tummy.

Yummy Rice Cereal!

Week of April 12th
This was a big week in the Gibbons' house as it was Melissa's first week back at work and Claire's first week at school. Claire started at Primrose on Monday morning and we are happy to report that she had a great week. We received feedback from the school that she was a sweet and easy baby.

In addition to introducing the rice cereal we have been working with Claire on using a sippy cup. She still wears quite a bit of the milk, but she is getting to be a pro at how to use the cup.

Head Control = Jump-a-Roo time!

Happy Easter

Today we took Claire to her first Easter Egg Hunt, met the Easter bunny, and decorated eggs! Tomorrow we will be heading to the outdoor service in the morning, having dinner with the Gibbons and then it is off to the airport to pick up Christian and Kristen for their week in Colorado!
