Baby Mullet

Claire was born with little mullet. Over time, she has lost most of
her hair and some new hair has grown in. That is, with one notable
exception. The mullet remains.

Little Owl

Claire often makes little owl noises - perhaps inspired by her shirt?

Mana has arrived!

And she brought Papa, Simone and Aileen - more photos to come.

Pretty Party

Last Monday, Claire and I visited the Benefit Cosmetics store on Chestnut Street for a "Pretty Party" with my February baby playgroup. I received a free brow wax and makeover while Claire was an angel. She even slept in her stroller for the first half hour, waking up just in time to sit on my lap as hot wax hovered over her head and landed on my brows. Two employees commented that Claire looks like a baby doll.

Photos of the event can be seen on the "Secret Life of a Benefit Girl" blog.

Daycare agrees with her

Claire likes spending time with Ellen at daycare. She'll go there full
time starting in August when Stuart Hall resumes after summer
vacation. She's there today as a stopgap until Mana arrives to take
over for the next two weeks.

Three Months


Here she is with her elephant at three months old

Escape artist

Twice now Claire has wiggled herself right out of her sleeve
overnight. We wake in the morning to see her cold, bare arm. Quite a
talent!
