Yesterday, Claire found her shoes and started trying to put them on, in hopes that Chris would take her outside. (She absolutely loves going in our backyard, especially since Willie is visiting and sometimes he leaves her to go out there...)

I don't know why but for some reason that simple act changed her from a baby to a toddler.

true love.

Christopher: i can shave your neck tonight

Enjoying a moment while Claire naps.

So I really want to go to Hawaii. However, given our financial situation (which isn't really a situation, just that we are a young married couple with a baby) I don't see it happening in the near future. I still find myself planning full blown vacations-- from the airfare to the condo we will rent to the places we will dine-- and then close my firefox window and go back to real life. Really it is mostly the airfare. How do you find cheap airfare to Hawaii? Maybe we will build a boat and just sail there. Who is in?

Ugh, am I the only one who cringes a little bit when the monitor comes back on? Off to get my snuggle bug.

edit---- I take it all back. She just slept on me, like a little baby, for an hour. Best feeling ever.
