Claire Pics

Oh, you know I look sexy in this picture. Oh yes, you do. Sexy as can be. Look at that face. How could you resist that face? :-p LOL, yes, I know I look awful, but Claire looks so cute! Therefore, it's worth it to put it up. By now, you should know I don't mind embarrassing myself for the sake of a good picture...or a good laugh. :-p Isn't she cute? Aww. These pics were taken at the end of June 2004...just a week or so after her first birthday. I just hadn't put them up yet because I was super busy during the month of July, but nonetheless, better late than never. :)

Ah ha! A better one of me and one where Claire has her eyes closed. It's weird because we'd never taken any pics of her with her eyes closing before, and then all of a sudden in this batch of pics, we have quite a few. Maybe she's learning how to blink when the light flashes or something, she's expecting it more now. Nonetheless, that smile is still so adorable...and I look good this time, so up it goes. ;)

*giggles* She's so cute. I was playing hide and seek with her behind the couch. My mom took a picture of her when she was all giddy and happy when I'd jump up to go "boo!"

Cute. :) My mom and I were eating lunch so we put her in her car so we didn't have to worry about her during this time. She's so good, she never cries. She was watching us eating our food with this look on her face like, "Hey...why can't I have that?" ;) But so she was feeling neglected so I started talking with her, y'know... "Ga ga ba da!" Baby talk. ;) And she was so excited and she's laughing at me talking to her, as you can see here.

And here, Claire is talking back to me! LOL, you can tell...she's going "GA" right when the picture was taken, and look how animated she is with her arm all up in the arm and waving and everything. She's so adorable. :)

When we finished eating, we gave in to da baby and gave her her food. :) And then followed it up with water in a cup, as you can see from my feeding it to her. She loves drinking out of a cup, it's so cute. :)

*giggles* The baby just woke up! She's got red cheeks and a happy face with closed eyes! Cute cute cute! ;)

*grins* When Claire woke up, my cell rang and so I was on the phone with Sara in the other room for a few mins, and then here comes Claire crawling on the floor out of her room into where I was, wanting to see me. She had the biggest smile on her face, and I was all "Hey baby! Is da baby coming to see me?" and she giggled and crawled over. It was so cute. So this picture was taken shortly after I hung up with Sara. She loved being over in that corner on the floor with me, I don't know why, but she did, so we played over there for quite awhile before I got tired of the wood floor.

Keri giving da baby a smoochie 'cause she's a cutie! :)

I love this picture. I love it 'cause it shows just how much Claire laughs at me. I swear, she finally truly knows me and is very comfortable with me. When she sees me, she'll get a big smile on her face and reach out for me. It's so nice. :) But so I'm making her laugh here while I'm holding her up so that she can look over the couch at my mom.

*grins* And THIS...this is what I call...the Seductive Look. *cue the music* LOL. ;) Doesn't it look like she's trying to seduce the camera? I just love it, hehehe. ;) Had to go up for that reason alone even though it otherwise looks like the same picture from the last one. ;)

More pictures of Keri and Claire! Notice how last time there were like...NO pictures of me hardly and then in this batch, it's ALL me. Yeah, hi. *cough* ;) This is cute though. This one was taken at church a few days after the babysitting -- the last time my mom saw Claire before leaving for New Zealand basically.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! It's so cute! I dunno why but I've always loved the upclose face pictures-- of anyone in particular. I just think they look so cute, because I think the face is the best part of a person and it sometimes gets neglected of detail when the pics are farther back. So I love it. :) But most of all, with this one, you can see what Kris did with her hair, lol -- she made Claire's curl on the top. Well, no, Claire got out of the bath with the curl and Kris decided to keep it 'cause it looked cute, hehe. She really is beginning to get curls in the back of her head, so I think she's gonna have curly hair like her daddy. :)

Aww, Daddy and baby...with baby looking at Daddy like she adores him. :) I love this picture, awwww. :)

And that's it for now! I'm going to be babysitting soon with my mom, so I'm sure I'll have newer pics up soon ('cause I need to finish off film from when Julie was here), but until then this is it. :)
