Another Great Week...

Clare had a very fun weekend! Nana and Pop-Pop were in visiting for the weekend and we went lots of fun places. On Saturday, we headed down to Ocean City to visit with Clare's Great Aunt Anna Marie, Great Uncle Mark and her cousins Juliana and Jessica. It was so much fun! We hung out on the beach all day and went to the boardwalk for dinner. Clare had very yummy funnel cake, boardwalk pizza and salt water taffy. Pizza was the winner, by far. You can't cut up the crust fast enough for her. She's a little eating machine. On Sunday, we had Great Great (to Clare at least) Aunt Andrea's surprise 70th birthday party. Clare was of course adorable. Afterwards we went into the city to China Town for fantastic Chinese food. Clare was a huge fan. Loved the wonton wrappers. Egg rolls, not so much. But she thought the Clare sized cups were so much fun.
It was a great weekend!

Clare does have some exciting news. She is cutting her first tooth. I'm fairly certain it's to help her eat more pizza, but she has a small bump coming in on the bottom row. Prior to cutting her first tooth, she would let us see in her mouth. Now, she fights us to look inside. I'm hoping this is why we've spent the last 3 weeks (give or take a few days) needing a midnight or 3 am bottle. Clare slept through the night fairly young (8 weeks) so I'm less than amused at 3 am to be up.

Chris and I also added another addition to the Miller family: A mini van! I am a little sad at the responses I received last week when I called to tell people. Apparently, minivans are not cool. What kinda crap is that? It's the coolest. Chris of course continues to refer to it as the "Cadillac of Minivans", a movie reference I do not get (per usual). We thought everyone would be thrilled to be seen riding in our minivan. Yet everyone we told laughed at us. Minivans are not amazing? I missed this memo. I've wanted a minivan my whole life! It was really nice to be able to have room for 8 people to go places. With company in town all summer and us always traveling back and forth to Ohio (and Hilton Head this summer:) it will be nice to have extra room to spread out. Chris was a little sad to see his SUV go, but even he enjoys driving the minivan.

So all and all a great week here in the Miller household! Hope everyone had a great weekend and I'll be sure to post Clare's pics from her 9 month photo's on here soon (I pick them up tomorrow:)!
