"Come live with me and be my love,/ And we will all the pleasures prove,/ That valleys, groves, hills and fields,/ Woods or steepy mountains yields." --Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

14 Months Old and Other News


Claire reaches the 14 month mark today. We enjoy seeing her personality develop as she ages. She's still a pretty laid back kid, but we are being to see a bit of a temper when she doesn't get her way or is frustrated. Her vocabulary thus far includes "mama," "papi" (dad), "ni ni" (nite nite), "doggy," "ba ba" (bottle), and, of course, "uh oh." I've experimented a bit with going to one nap a day, but as you can see from the picture on the right, she doesn't seem quite ready for it! Our days don't have much structure right now anyway, so it's probably not the best time to be introducing a new routine.



In other news, we celebrated our fifth anniversary on Saturday by trying Bozeman's newest restaurant "Ted's Montana Grill" (as in Ted Turner who owns a chain of these which specialize in bison and beef but ironically just opened the first one in Montana). We didn't plan enough in advance to arrange for a babysitter, so Claire came along too and loved the bison ribs and steak we ordered. On Sunday we took a day trip to Georgetown Lake (see picture) where we hiked some trails we had skied this winter and Nate got in a mountain bike ride while Claire and I enjoyed some "beach" time (picture reflects a pretty normal Montana beach). We are now anticipating our trip to visit with Nate's family in Massachusetts as we leave on Monday.

Happy 5th Anniversary Sanders! Just seems like yesterday we were at your wedding and I was in complete shock about being prego :-)
I hear you about trying to transition to one nap. I am so ready for it but unfortunately Cam is not. It seems to be a bit of a hard transition. But hopefully we will get there soon.

Have a great time in MA. Hopefully flying goes well.
Oh and the temper thing, happening over here too. It must come from their fathers' side right?
