Saturday was also very busy. We went up to Snowbird for Oktoberfest! Claire rode with dad in her Baby Bjorn, and was the most popular person there. Dad's favorite moment was when the 50-something bikers (who convincingly looked the part) quickly approached to ask about her age and to comment on her cuteness. Needless to say, it was not what dad thought they were going to say...the best part was hearing one of them comment on how he likes babies more than anything as they walked off. So much for stereotypes. We then came home to rest up for the Real Salt Lake game on TV...they won, so perhaps Claire's bad soccer karma has turned the corner.
Sunday saw a visit to the park for a walk with the greyhounds, which was much fun for all involved. Then Claire got to watch her Broncos lose, but her Redskins win. Needless to say, dad's plan to indoctrinate her with sports so that he has an extra vote in his pocket for TV decisions in the future is working perfectly!
Claire has decided to exercise her lungs more this week, which makes for some very sad cries, but she usually calms down after a few minutes. And she continues to grow like a champ...while at a friend's house, we pulled out the scale to get a weigh in...she came out at a whopping 8 1/2 pounds. She has definitely graduated to a larger size of clothing, which means some cute baby clothes are no longer an option, but there are plenty of new cute clothing options.
And now for the photos. First a cute baby yawn...probably worn out from playing on her floor gym (with lots of colorful toys). Then Claire gives musical conducting a try...or at least that's what we think it looks like she's doing (have we mentioned how she loves to wiggle her arms out of her swaddling?). Finally, Claire the drama queen shows that she has grown weary of the paparazzi (no more photos, please).
