Daddy has most of the week off to cover for daycare taking good friday...week off.

its cool as theres a little less whining at work so no big thing. HA

ok so trying to do two posts a month at least even though its coming down to a photo dump basically. Notable things Daryl is going to try for a event in san fran to see if he can boost his painting-fu confidence level and maybe win a small statue thatll collect dust. The Goodman family might attend but its 2 months away and D hasn't started anything specific for it yet.

Maybe he can blow the dust off something and wow em.

and now for the pictures

oh and Claire is floating around 17lbs 14ozs

Claire enjoying the easter basket ( yeah i know its not easter yet)

Claire playing with a fake lipstick (uh oh)

Claire trying to hide from daddy

Tired Claire.

Really tired Claire sleeping the only way she knows how.

That's just a little bit more than the law will allow

And bunny Claire with hairy ape man behind her. ggggrrrr

and good night

update

SO

finally a update.

first off. Thankfully things are normal around the Goodman household.

that is to say things are moving quickly.

Claire is 17lbs 7 ozs. shes moving right along now that shes got the good foods aka (puffs and stage 3 baby foods)

you see stage 3 is for babies with teethies and Claire has two bottom ones that snuck up (literally).

and theres the proof.

Thankfully were having great weather (the ants are gone!!)

so we can now get the yards to tip top shape and get rid of the unsightlyness that is the next door neighbors backyard. Ugh

We had a vist from mom today and Claire really enjoyed it except for an awkward hug moment

luckly its caught on film

Claire wasnt sure which way to go but fortunately in the end we got a good hug (thats all that really matters in the end right).

And a picture of everyone together

OK not everyone but close to everyone.

Daryl gets to look forward to this after work

which totally makes up for the photo diss. lol

Claire is trying some new things.

One being weightlifting

Lucky she had started with baby steps (HA)

before disaster struck.

again fortunately caught by a roving reporter

watch as events unfold

theres Claire lifting a 3rd of her weight above her head.

The faint hearted should avert there eyes now.

Lucky specialists were on the scene and were able to rescue poor

Claire. Shes fine.

Another risky move by Claire is Sunbathing

Heres her first foray out which could have ended in disaster except for some

big hairy arms which saved her baby soft skin

The next time she tried to go incognito

but found she couldnt move.

Shes finally decided to just go out and enjoy the comfortable days being pushed in her very own

stroller

being hand feed

custom grape yogurt laughing whimsically about nothing.

ah the life.

and fin

have a good night
