Claudia had a good time visiting her Grammy in Pennsylvania for her birthday. Claudia rode her little horse a whole lot! She also went to Aunt Susannah's and Uncle Tyler's house for the Corvette Parade where hundreds of corvettes come by their house in Carlisle. As always Claudia was an excellent traveller and slept most of the way. Abby had a great time as well. I think she'd love to stay there with her buddy Toddy and Sarah.

Claudia has her first swimming lesson this Saturday. She really likes the water so we hope she will enjoy this.

On friday night Claudia went to the Bridgewater Fair where she rode the merry-go-round for the first time. She rode once with Daddy and once with Mommy. She rode very well. We also bought some great pictures from a local artist named Peter Schwartz.

On Saturday we travelled to Massachusetts with the Kopecs and Kasey went to the Toby Keith concert. Claudia and I spent quality time at the hotel watching movies and walking around.

Claudia is working hard on her Spanish and Italian tapes for babies. She will sit and listen to the whole CD. She also likes the Disney Baby Einstein DVDs.

Claudia does the chicken dance with Elmo. Then she tries to eat his nose. Claudia is eating a whole bunch. She eats cheerios and cookies and bananas with her finger now. You can see that she is now sitting in a big girl car seat.

Claudia had a lot of fun with her Polish friends last night. She learned lots of Polish words and was a big hit at the party. We ate like crazy and even heard some great accordian work from Mr. Wojteczko.

Claudia went to lake Waramaug yesterday as well and had a good time swimming while Daddy rode his bike. She has been really enjoying a Spanish tape we got her. She sits for very long periods listening to it. She can't wait to visit two of her godparents next weekend. she is also starting to move around the room a lot more. Time to clean up things off the floor.
