Baby Samantha Anderson

Proud Dad

The boys and their girls!

Beautiful Samantha Diane Anderson

Our good friends Shawn and Angela had their baby girl on Wednesday night. We were lucky enough to visit them last night and meet Samantha. She is perfect and we all loved taking turns holding her. She already has way more hair than Claire does. Angela said that we had to come because Claire had to meet her best friend. Some how we didn't get a picture of the new mom, but she is doing well.

Lookout Ridge Park

Good friends

Claire loved the pretend water with objects under it.

She loved climbing the stairs to the slide.

Hannah loved the slides.

Claire loved going down the slide by herself. She is such a big girl.

Mom and Claire met Jennifer, Andrew and Hannah in Woodbury at Lookout Ridge Park. It is an indoor park that has tunnels, slides, and a bouncy gym. The girls had a lot of fun playing and running around. Claire did more crawling around, but she loved watching all the big kids.

Baby Jack

Sweet babies

Checking baby Jack out!

"Love" tap

Stensrud Family

We were able to visit our friends Chad and Angie today and meet their little guy Jack today. He was born on New Year's Eve so he is still a pretty little guy. We had a great time holding him and catching up and Claire loved exploring their house. We were able to get some great pictures of Claire and Jack even though she gave him a couple "love" taps during the photo shoot.

Almost a walker

Claire is getting very close to walking. She took a couple steps this week, but she is still using furniture and walls to walk.

Girl's Weekend in Iowa

I think they are pretty cute.

The mom's didn't like the picture, but we needed a group picture.

Do you think Claire likes the attention?

Pretty in Pink

What a cute ladybug.

Mom and Claire met Susan and Makayla in Ames, Iowa for the night. We were very excited to see Susan and meet Makayla for the first time. Makayla is about 14 weeks old now and as perfect as can be. Claire and I got to the hotel a little early so we went swimming in the pool. It was Claire's first time in a pool and she loved every minute of it. She really enjoyed watching the other kids in the pool. The rest of the night we spent in the room playing and catching up. We decided that the girls are going to love our meetings because it will mean hotels, pools, playing and pizza. What kid (and adult) doesn't enjoy that.

Chips

Claire got a hold of the chips and carried them everywhere. She wouldn't let go of them. She already knows when she has a good thing. She thought she was pretty cool caring them around.
