it's been awhile...

Yes, we are alive and doing well. I have started traveling again and school started on Jan. 8. So I have been incredibly busy and the blog pays the price by falling out of date. The bear has been very active as well, crawling every where, checking out everything, put everything into her mouth. Her bottom 2 teeth did come in - that was not a fun week. It appears now that her top two are starting to come in.

Yesterday, we flew to Sarasota, FL to visit grammy and grampy. Claire did ok, considering we sat on the tarmac for an hour, waiting for lugguage to be loaded. And of course, I had to change her diaper once we reached cruising altitude. The only flat surface was the toilet seat lid, on which I was able to get about half of Claire. She is still adjusting to her new surroundings in Sarasota, and as such, does not want to go to sleep - lest she should miss something. It has not been fun for her parents, when she cries and cries when you put her down for a nap. We go home on Tuesday morning.

She has started this new thing of trying to turn/roll over when you are trying to dress her or change her diaper. Sometimes it will take 2 of us to dress her. I hope this is a phase, or she'll end up wearing PJs and a dirty diaper all day. She is getting stronger everyday.

As I mentioned in the first paragraph, I have been traveling again. I consider myself to be a relatively experienced traveler, but I made the rookie mistake last week of forgeting my camera and other electronic goodies at home. I went to Nicaragua and was unable to Skype with Claire. I was able to see Claire on skype, but couldn't interact with her. I won't be making that mistake again.

Sorry to report I don't have any new pictures to post, but I am sure over the course of the weekend we will take some.
