Clare waiting at the airport in Chicago for the 2nd leg of the flight

Eating yummy chicken nuggets

Clare's friend Otto. He's the valet at the backdoor and Clare was in LOVE with him. She decorated Otto, talked to Otto and even played games with Otto.

Checking out her awesome slide.




Playing with her building blocks. These were a big hit. Daddy had some waiting at home when we arrived to welcome Clare home.

Her Don King wild hair the next day after nap

All fixed up after her bath

Taking her sippy cup on the ride

Making her favorite face

Bucket Head

Her and Nana playing her favorite game: Bucket Head


This is how Clare went down the slide for the first day or two. She thought it was wild fun.

Nana, Missy and Clare sharing a bowl of ice cream

Pop Pop feeding Clare some rice cakes

Missy and Clare begging for treats

Peek a Boo

Clare clapping for herself

This "outfit" is what Pop Pop put her in while Nana and I were at Gymboree. He of course saw nothing wrong with it. I was LMAO.


that face...


Playing with Pop Pop

A short nap on the fireplace

I have no idea where she observed this behavior




Demonstrating her notorious climbing abilities

One last pic with Nana and Pop Pop before we made the drive to Columbus of the "Steak and Shake Hand Off".
We had a fairly good flight. Clare slept the entire first leg to Chicago and was awake but friendly on the 2nd flight. Since it was Southwest and you pick your seat as you board, I used Clare a scarecrow by holding her up high. It ensured no one came to our row to sit. A toddler on a plane is a fantastic way to avoid a seat mate on Southwest.
We had a great visit with Nana and Pop Pop and neither of our pants fit when we left after all of the yummy dinners. Clare had lots of fun toys waiting for her and she saw her favorite things (the cats) not long after we arrived.
I'll be sure to post more pics in the next few days. I was only able to narrow the pictures down to 106, so I'll split it up over a few days to avoid an overdose of Clare's cuteness.
