And the winner is...

Emmy, Brian and Baby Nomi!


They're the generous mystery gifters. THANKS GUYS! :)

Checkup

Claire had her 3rd year checkup at the pediatrician's office yesterday. We LOVE Dr. Terrill! She's sweet, knowledgable, understands being a new mom and really cares about Claire. Claire weighed in at a whopping 29 pounds and measured 37 inches tall! That put her in the 30% for her weight (up from 4% last year!) and 45% for height. She's a growing girl!
Dr. Terrill asked Claire to stand on one foot, do jumping jacks, stand on her tiptoes, on her heels, etc. She commented that Claire was "very coordinated for a 3 year old, most 5 year olds can't do all of that." I was thinking more along the lines of Elaine dancing from Seinfield, but I digress.
When asked what the best part of being 3 was by the Doc, Claire replied - "Cake."
Well played dear.

Mystery Gifter

A very generous person had FedEx deliver several birthday presents to Claire! Yay! However, no card was attached, so we don't know who to thank! Boo! Who would like to take credit? They were from Toys 'R Us, giftwrapped and included three things:
Puppy Stuff

Garden Stuff
And one other item....?
(I obviously know what it is...but do YOU?)
If you were the gift giver - Thanks!
Please identify yourself and provide proof by revealing the third item.
(I don't trust many members of my family apparantly, plus i like to come up with annoying little games to amuse myself)

Focus Claire. FOCUS!

these little piggies


Claire and I were in bed this morning and I playfully took her foot in my hand and acted like I was gonna munch on her feet.

"Don't eat my tootsies Mommy!"

"Why?"

"Because then they'll go in your tummy! (under her breath) and then you can't tickle them..."
