"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)

15 Months Old



Last week Claire reached the 15 month milestone. She's now about 22 1/2 pounds and 30 1/2 inches long...and still not walking, though we are getting closer. We're hoping that while I spend two weeks in Washington starting later this week all her older cousins will inspire her to join the two-footed crowd. Claire's favorite activities at this point are playing outside on the deck/patio with water and scooping up gravel, pushing her little toy dog around on the floor (she loves dogs), reading books, playing with shoes, and climbing on anything. She's developing a vocabulary little by little and does lots of chattering. We are down to one nap a day, though it's usually only about an hour long. Interestingly, as the night progresses she gets happier and happier and goes from her crankiest at about 5 PM to being positively full of it by bedtime, not acting tired at all. We head out to Washington on Thursday, and I'll try to post from there at some point.

Have fun out in Washington! We're heading to Michigan on Friday, so we can compare vacation notes. By the way, Claire is bigger than both of my children, who are 3 months older. We'll have to work on that so that Jess is at least as tall as she is so that they'll want to date :)
