Gigglefest 2012

Dads are awesome. Especially Rob.  These videos don't give much insight into Clare's intellectual progress, but, with Rob's help, her funny bone is especially well developed.

Puheeeeeeeeeeeeee

So far Clare has inherited Rob's furrowed brow and his love for hamburgers and books.  She has my walk (more of a shuffle) and my tendency to get LOUD when bored on long car rides.  Rob shot this quick video Labor Day weekend on their return from a trip to visit Kaki & BD.

Clare reported that while in Alabama she threw up, played with play dough, and rode the golf cart.

Also, since this blog is meant to serve as our family's album (I'm not keeping a paper one **sigh**)- Clare has some GREAT isms these days.
She calls cuddling "getting 'chuthers" which means "We're each others'."
She has just started saying, "I love you.  With alma heart."
And to most questions she casually responds with a breathy, whispered, "Yeah, sure."

She's eating great (especially loves cheese and bacon... from "Fried HAM"), plays well with Lila, Annabelle & Emma, and truly adds a giant amount of joy to our lives. 

Seaside Summer

Sewanee Summer

Oh oh oh, let's go fly a kite!

I can't tell if Rob is saying "kite" or "kike" in this video. We certainly aren't flying a "kike." How would that even work?

Cheers!!!

Like a fine wine, Clare's sense of humor has improved with age. She has become a BIG TIME Daddy's girl and in no time, Rob and Clare will have taken over the Guthrie household with irony and brit-wit.

Fun times.
