Meeting Claire

Ryan wanted to hold Claire right away

I could definitely get used to this...

 Morning feeding time - notice the large basket of tennis balls in the background...

She's here at last! Another girl to add to our softball team someday!

 A common sight - Face #1...

 Followed by face #2 in less than 20 seconds...

My favorite Claire face

Pure sweetness

Love this one - she's giving me the who are you and what do you think you're doing look


 I can make that face too!

The first of many self-portraits I'm sure - its really all about Claire anyway. Who needs me or Carrie...
