Chloe Tyler Crain

Today the anticipation over my best friend Stacy's baby being born was over!! Chloe Tyler decided to grace us with her presence at 12:57pm weighing 7lbs 8oz. She is twenty inches long and is perfect! She has a mouth like her mama's and looks like she may have red hair like her daddy! Stacy was induced this morning, started having contractions around 830am, her water broke at 1145am and Chloe was born a little over an hour later. Stacy said that the labor was intense and the epidural didn't numb all the way because of how fast Chloe came. Lucky for Stacy it was only four pushes and then the little love bug was out! :)Chloe is doing fantastic with breast feeding. She has a calm demeaner, hardly cried when she got her shots, slept through most of her bath and is just perfect! I'm so HAPPY she's here!! (And so is her mama, even though she crapped on her as soon as they put Chloe on Stacy's chest! Too funny.)

A Day in the Life of Claudia

Hi! My name is Claudia is I turned two in June. Here is a glimpse into my crazy and wonderful life...

I love to go to OMSI! Last week my nanny Becca took me there and it was so much fun. I got to listen to different sounds in BIG headphones to see how my hearing was (I passed in case you're wondering).

WOW, I can't believe how big those teeth are!!!

I decided that I look really good on tv, so look for me coming to a channel near you! All the local weather reporters better watch out!

I got to "play" the piano without even touching the circles! So cool.

I liked looking at the slides that showed the growth of Alzeimers diease on the brain. I may end up being a doctor just like my mommy!


When I'm around the house I like to take off my clothes. It's my new thing! In this picture I had my diaper off too and was running around in my pink Croc's and my pink "daimond" bracelet. Nanny Becca said I was a real looker!

This is my "Oh my goodness, I'm naked" face!

Nanny Becca taught me how to put my finger up to my mouth when I'm thinking about something. We do this together and say, "Hmmmmmmm...." It usually helps us figure things out pretty quick.


But the best days are when I get to see my very bestest friend Piper!! We got to go to Sauvie Island and visit Kruger Farm.

We got to chase the chickens which was probably almost the most fun thing I've ever done! When they saw me tromping around in my boots they ran away pretty fast! :)



I l-o-v-e flowers and I l-o-v-e Becca!!


Piper and I had fun filling this water bowl for the doggies full of rocks! I like to do things that Piper does.

I couldn't believe how tall all of the sunflowers were!! Nanny Becca thought I was pretty cute walking down the rows of flowers, especially when I'd stop and smell them.

We got to pick flowers and I helped Becca make TWO huge bouquets.

This is my special flower that I got. Don't worry, I made sure to get one for my baby doll too--she loved it!


I live a good life!! Stay tuned for more fun times!

Lovey

Lauren took this picture of Claudia when they were in Cape Cod and my heart literally melted when I saw it. Such a doll!!

RAshley

Last weekend one of my dearest friends got married. It was a beautiful wedding and I was ecsatic to be a part of it. Ryan and Ashley have been together for about five years and have been through a lot in their relationship. It is so neat to be a part of something that God has obviously ordained. Knowing their hearts made this day that much better. It was a huge celebration and I'm so excited for their future together!!












Little Buggie Boo

I have been having so much fun with Claudia. She is so seriously cute and like always, I LOVE going to work in the morning. Here are some pictures of all of our fun! They are of the Rose Gardens, the Children's museum, The Zoo and a couple of parks.
