Visits and general wildness...

Let me start by saying that I am AWESOME at child proofing my house. As you can see, we have guards on the table. That would be the foam that Clare has pulled off, prior to climbing on top of the glass coffee table. First, she had to pass the electrical outlet (a true favorite of hers). Then she uses the foam to climb onto the sub woofer that is the back corner. She is resting her hands on candles that we often light. All in all, it's an area of huge potential to her. After finding her on the table twice (I'm also good at keeping an eye on her), I put up the gate. That was quickly removed, when I realized that she used the gate to help her climb the table faster.

In other news, Clare thinks the gate is called "no". She points at it and tells me "no". How is that for irony?



This is how Clare climbs into her chair, every single time. Heather was cracking up at it. Heather would have smuggled Clare's chair home with her if she thought she could have gotten it on the plane.
This is after a long day of trying to harm herself.

Over at Aunt Ginny's playing with the doll house. She tried to climb in the doll house and also tried to eat the light hanging in the hallway.


At Girls Night with Aunt Jessica and Aunt Stephanie (Congrats Aunt Stephanie on your new nephew:)

In Chinatown with Aunt Erin and Aunt Heather. She was pretty excited by Mommy's awesome parking job and the food.


At Reading Terminal Market with Aunt Heather and Aunt Erin. She was a fan, it involved pizza.
Post pigtails before Aunt Erin and Aunt Heather arrived.

Overall, we had a great visit from Aunt Heather and Aunt Erin. I should have taken more pictures, but I was too busy stuffing my face with food. We went to the Amish Market, Reading Terminal Market and Chinatown. I shouldn't have been so shocked my pants didn't fit on Monday. Clare loves her Aunties so she was thrilled with them. Especially when they pulled her out of bed at 11:15 at night to play or gave her bubble baths:)

Hope all is well! We leave on Saturday to fly to Cleveland and will be in Cincy on the 18th! I'll be sure to post pics upon returning.
