Giddy up, Claire!

We're figuring out Claire's likes and dislikes while thoroughly enjoying getting to know her. We think we may have a future equestrian in the family.

    Too funny - although I hate to break it to you, it probably just helps with gas. :-) Have you tried laying her on her stomach over your forearm? Kinda like a lion in a tree? Both of my boys loved being held that way - especially on daddy's wide forearms. And it's great when they are fussy so you can soothe them while rubbing their back. Enjoy all these little treasures... and thanks for sharing!

    I'm so happy for both of you!
    She's beautiful, and my girl loved the vacuum cleaner noise.
    She also loved to be bounced to sleep (just for naps). My mother was a little bit much at times with the bouncing ;) thank god we didn't have shaken baby syndrome (yikes)!
    And I'm glad you took the drugs, going all natural is over rated. I would have had an epi but I dialated so fast there was no time.

    Can you get 1 month old stetsons and cowboy boots? Hope so, you should invest. Start them young, I say. She will be herding the cows by the age of 3 months

    PS: I love her. A lot. And yes, I will be a godparent. Mwahahahahhaah
