Claire can sit for long periods of time now, but I'm finding that she's no longer satisfied just to sit and be proud of that. Now she wants to move, bending over until she falls over. I love watching her lean over until she falls over on her stomach. Most of the time she cries even though falling seemed to be her goal! She's looking around now from the comfort of her boppy, trying to figure out where she wants to go. What a profound creature!

On Tuesday we had "Mommy & Me" swimming lessons with around fifteen mothers and children. Claire did well especially because she liked seeing all the other babies aged 6 months to 2 1/2 years. I'm glad she didn't care that the water was on the cool side!

We tent camped this weekend and boy was it cold in Lapine State Park near Bend. Fortunately, we spent the second night in a cabin a couple from church shared with us. It had two queen beds and a heater! Both nights it froze so we were glad to have a real roof over our heads night two. Next time we tent camp we'll be at the beach so the temperatures won't be so extreme!
