Eighteen months


No way. I am once again dumbfounded by the speed at which time passes. Why is it that when you are younger all you want is for time to pass quickly so you can be older? Then once you are older, you want time to stop. Claire is officially 18 months old. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but I'm attempting to come to grips with it.

I'm hoping to do her official photo shoot tomorrow (puh-lease...no snow!), so I'll post those pics soon. For now, here are some snap shots in the front yard.




And here's my little ladybug. We went trick or treating at a rehabilitation center just up the street and by the time we finished that, Claire had a ton of candy and was exhausted! So we changed her into her PJs and she helped pass out candy the rest of the night.

She is beautiful -- and so sweet! Happy eighteen months to Claire! It's funny, because I swear she is older than that. Livvy is so stinkin' old, and I forget they are a good two years apart.

I love the ladybug!! What an adorable girl! Time definitely flies. 18 months is such a milestone! And it is such a fun stage. I keep thinking, don't grow up, stay at this fun stage and then come to find out...the next stage is just as fun!! But look at her...how could she be anything but fun!!

She is darling. It is crazy how quickly they grow up!

Cutest pictures ever! I love the red shoes! I'm with ya on stopping time, or at least slowing it down. Baby will be here in 10 weeks. Yikes. So much to do, so little time. I can't wait to see Claire's "official photo shoot!"
